From some clues that were given I have come to this area as a possible location for some mule loads of ore. It seems to fit the description of the location so I thought I would throw it in the mix here and see what turns up. I have not been to this location and it is hundreds of miles from me but it has my interest. If someone can find where it is with Google Earth more power to you. I don't mind if you do. I'll put it out as a challenge. I would be interested to see if someone could actually find it on GE. But in the meantime I would also like it dowsed by anyone interested. You can post here or email me. I know December is usually a busy time but I have wanted to put this on here for a while.

I found raw gold where the 3 yellow circles are, except couldn't get any hits for Spanish or Spanish markers in the photo until checking the left edge (red X). Either the markers point to the raw gold location or else you need to extend the map more to the left. The yellow circles could also be the source of where they mined the gold. I get a lot of dowsing action between the left edge of photo and red X, must be more to the west.

I took the liberty of cropping some more images. This is my way of walking it in. I feel it's much better to zoom in on a map or image to get a more accurate reading and help when one goes out in the field. I zoomed in on Art's and two of Red's. This is not only for Art and Red but for all of us. Thank you so much for your replies and dowsing.

Well Nick, I didn't find the mule loads you were expecting, unless where the yellow circles are.....but it appears to be more like gold veins running through that area, found more in the close up.

The red X & circle though, got a marker on the X, coins at the circle, archaeological type of signals the green X. Doesn't seem to be any mule loads of ore there either.

I just noticed something about the spacing of the yellow circles, don't know if coincidence or what. I held up a ruler to the computer screen, try measuring between 2 left (top & bottom), 2 center (top & bottom). Then the distance between the 2 bottom from the left, then 2 top from the right. Anyway, didn't plan that, still could be just a coincidence. Actually, the top left one was, the very first hit in dowsing the close up photo. Not only that, checking by holding a ruler edge, across the top 3 circles, seem to be in a straight line.

Nick, don't think I took time to check for all types of Spanish markers. Did check on metal, high wall carvings, then stopped there, leaving out simple stone type or trees. If you find at any yellow circles, Spanish markers instead, they should be for the mule loads of ore, because I focused on that as dowsing.

Also got another suggestion from Art, he has got at times evenly spaced circles for gold auras.

I went over the entire map again checking for any cache markers. Still only get where the red X is, left side of photo. If there is a Spanish cache, even gold ore, you would find some kind of a marker.

In the area below the yellow circles, yellow line is around a placer gold deposit. Gold veins run through the spots marked by yellow circles, but the veins are not straight. Red circles indicate some type of trail marker, could even be of Spanish origin. Green Xs for any type of archaeological signal.
