Spanish Treasure Cavern

**cptbil** · Sep 16, 2003, 09:08 PM

I will be leaving for New Mexico this week end !
I will be looking for [highlight=red]the entrance[/highlight] to a authenicated Spanish Treasure cache and mine!
Anyone who has special skills/equipment, in locating cavern entrances and is interested in taking part of the search!
"Note"...The area of the Cavern IS known !
If interested, Drop me a line !
This is NOT A JOKE!

Yes, it is a joke. Authenticated, eh? If "authentic", then someone has already found it, hasn't he? Think he left it full Cap?

**Lowbatts** · Sep 17, 2003, 03:02 PM

Hi Dell, I think it not so serious if the subject is described as both a mine and a treasure cache. If it is a mine, then it's prospecting work, if it's a cache, then it's simple recovery. I know "simple" can be a misnomer but still there exists a wide range between the two.

Not experienced enough in either, but rational enough to know there is a difference does bring my skeptical side to the fore. So while it may not be illogical to have a cache in a mine, it seems irrational to say a given site is both at once. Seems the likelyhood is little more than a remote possibility. Sounds like a case of treasure fever.

I do look forward to hearing of the good cptbil's success all the same.

i was first interested in some of the stories of cptbil. but the longer it went on the stories kept coming. he knows where it is but he keeps coming back and back. all of it is always a sure thing. read some of the new and a lot of the old forum, and you will see what i mean. hmmmm. boomer

**Lowbatts** · Sep 19, 2003, 12:06 AM

Dell, I don't claim to have your experience so I defer to your remarks. I also wish cptbil best of luck but would not join in such an adventure. I don't seek adventure, I'm just coinshooting and md'ing. Treasure hunting is another thing altogether.
I am still working on my first bona fide treasure recovery.

Gentlemen, cptbil is the real thing.

Real bull*****er.

**cptbil** · May 24, 2006, 09:07 PM

Hello out there:
I see that I have caused a few disagreements!
Yes! I know of treasure sites !

SO!
Why don't I just go out and recover them?
Has anyone been along the US/AZ/Mex Border lately?
1... I certainly am not going to camp where I HAVE TO!
Then walk off and leave my camp!
Any Idea what I would come back to ?
2...Two of these sites are right along a Trail used by, "Drug Smugglers' & illegals, etc !
A "Terrorist" was caught by the US Border Patrol not two miles from my last camp!
She was "female", Armed & had 200,000 dollars in her backpack!
One trip, just down the canyon from camp, A "FIRE FIGHT" Broke out!
AND!
Someone down there was, using Full auto weapons!

On another trip, I was standing on a mntside/canyon about 1 mile from another of my border camps and I was looking down at a Olive Green C130 heading, "Full Bore" into Mexico!
Which was less than two miles away!
I sure hope that no one thinks that I would go out there as I, 99% of the time am! ALONE!
Recover a Treasure, These Treasures consist of many pieces, placing it in camp and go back and forth !
Guess what I'd find when I walked into camp with another load ?
If you think that this is a bunch of "Bull!"
I invite you to go along with me!
You, "camp sit"

and I'll recover the treasure!

Cpt Bill has always been a straight shooter in my book. He has always given me the opinion that he knows what he is talking about, without bragging. He is asking for help and for a partner. I for one would like to go with him, but I cannot due to other obligations. For a man of his caliber to go into this area alone can be pretty scary.

The Cpt is like 95% of the people on this forum...he is honest, very knowlegable, and a overall nice guy.

Hope it helps.

**Will_detect4food** · May 24, 2006, 10:24 PM

true or false, bull **** or for real. The adventure would be fun, unfortunately I have to work and could not take off, But when I finally retire or get a vacation I would go...

You could MD at the very least.
And Camping hunting is always fun

Best of luck to you Cptbill
I hope you find what your looking for!
Or at least have fun lookiing for it

**Will_detect4food** · May 24, 2006, 10:26 PM

I just looked at the original post date of September 16, 2003, 07:08:36 PM

I guess hes been back for a few years now

opps
hope it went well

**USTiger** · May 25, 2006, 03:44 AM

if i had the chance i would have been going with Cptbil .... but still in Denmark so i cant .. ..

i can proudly say i am like 50% of the People here .. going for the hunt and the experienc not for the big score.. it is all about the hunt and the fun in it .. some people just dont undestand it .. ofcourse it is good to find treasures .. but remember we do it for the fun to.

It is still there to this day, but what some people don't seem to realize is some of the extenuating (did I spell That right??) circumstances. As for my "story", the circumstances are the fact that one cartload is on government property (section 8 housing site) the other 7 are on (or in) a waterway managed by the city the site is located in. So recovery would be a bit complicated. Not impossible...but slightly complicated. The only thing I've come up with so far is a late night "Special Ops" type recovery, but that could lead to more problems than I care to deal with at this time. Cptbil may have the same mindset. "I know where it's at if you got the gonnads" type of thinking...
Don't know the man, but I respect his generosity.
Michael Parrish aka "NATF"

Natf - without going into any details you're not comfortable giving out, can you tell us the story of how you found this cache as a child? I love stories like those - it "keeps the juice flowing" so to speak in my own search for treasure!!

Thanks

**Mighty AP** · May 25, 2006, 12:25 PM

I too would love to hear this...........as Cubsfan said, without giving away too much info on the where abouts of this treasure.

To Whom it may Concern :

I don't normally slam someone on the net. Everyone has there opinion.
This old saying may fit "Buyer BeWare", " Don't count your chicken's before they hatch".

I wish Cptbill the best of luck, but I personally can't rely on him to show.

**dnewbury2** · May 26, 2006, 08:58 PM

It's possible he knows of a cache that is a little complicated to recover. I know of a Civil War James rifle and two caissons of ammunition that were lost over the side of a transport into the Tennessee River. However, since that is under control of the Corps of Engineers and the Marine Police make frequent visits, the search and recovery would be a little complicated.

There are those that talk about about doings and there are those that are doers, makes one wonder doesn't it?

**ericwt** · Jun 13, 2006, 04:24 AM

Hey everyone cptbil is the real thing. He is a professional treasure hunter. I am 100% positive.

Anyone that has worked with Gene Ballinger for as long as he did is for real. Gene was one of my mentors and he was an inspiration to me.
