Hello Banana

I think you mixing two treasure legends together? There is an ottoman empire retreat from Palestine during WW1 and another Turkish Ottoman treasure from a war with Russians in the mid 19th century in Bulgaria. Best you hunt down hard luck for those.

From what I was told there was some Bulgarians interested in the services of hardluck. But the Bulgarian government got to them first. As for WW1 ottoman treasure best to ask Hardluck that one.

I remember reading the 2 Bulgarian`s story unlucky for them , that the mention of a wax ball was the undoing of them. In fact that story was a real eye opener on many levels and to be truthful , it was one of the key things that brought out my respect for someone.

There is another thing to do with the Ottomans , but cannot remember the story nor find it , all i remember was there were about 3-4 Arabian styles of writings on a cloth or ?, it was something i was playing with after getting an idea from some random history site about the battles of the time. Ah well , no doubt it will come back to me at some random time , like 3 or 4 in the morning.

Hello Banana

Dear Crow. I am kindly taking my plank, back. Keep on your toes, or you just might find it staring at you again. Great reading and research, here. Don Jose'. I know about those naranjas! And, about El Naranjal. If I remember correctly, isn't it the lost gold mine at the bottom of a large hill, somewhere in the Sierra Madres, next to a closed hacienda and an arroyo? Now, fast-forward. Imagine if that same hacienda was re-opened and became filled with Santos?!? Wink-wink. You never know? Or, do you?

Mastiff4me,

Just curious, are you hinting that the hacienda might have been converted to a mission?

Thanks,

Hi Joe. It's me; Jodi. My family is very close to señor Mancha. They live in the same little Mexican village, in the Sierra Madres. Don Jose' is indeed legendary there. Well, I posed my question a bit laughingly, as my parents have spent over 25 years renovating several very old haciendas into a exquisite small luxury hotel. Tales have been told, many, of treasure posed in wells, walls, tunnels underground leading to the old churches in this area. When others renovated their homes (at one point this place was nearly a ghost town. Though stories of ghosts within the walls, are whispered through the wind,

Hi Joe. It's me; Jodi. My family is very close to señor Mancha. They live in the same little Mexican village, in the Sierra Madres. Don Jose' is indeed legendary there. Well, I posed my question a bit laughingly, as my parents have spent over 25 years renovating several very old haciendas into a exquisite small luxury hotel. Tales have been told, many, of treasure posed in wells, walls, tunnels underground leading to the old churches in this area. When others renovated their homes (at one point this place was nearly a ghost town. Though stories of ghosts within the walls, are whispered through the wind,

it is no longer the sleepy place it once was many moons ago). Anyway, where their hotel is situated is like next to an old river and so on. Fits the description, but not it. One spot was actually the Alamos mint. But, the real treasure, to me, is my parents, (amazing people/adventurers), in addition to their lifelong collection of antique saints situated through the rooms of the property. Therefore, it is called Hacienda de Los Santos. Another blessed Tesoro of the Sierra Madres. As far as El Naranjo goes, I think our friend knows, but buried the map in the field of naranjas, somewhere at the bottom of a canyon. Now, I just have to figure out which one it is. Have a great day.

Jodi,

Many thanks for your replies. Hacienda de Los Santos looks like a beautiful place to visit. It also looks like it would be out of my pay scale.

It's been many years since I visited Mexico. If we were ever to go back, your hacienda would have to be high on the list.

Many years ago, I thought I had figured out where El Naranjal was without ever setting foot in the area. That and five bucks might get me an average cup of coffee these days.

Take care,

Joe

Now, Joe. Should you ever want to go back, I am most certain I could get you a great rate, anytime, should you decide to wander back to Old Mexico. Please, also, note, Casa Tacubaya B and B. Completely magical, too (and far less bling needed). I love it there. Alamos, in itself, is hard to beat. Nothing like it, except maybe a little spot in Andalusia (Spain) for which the town was patterned after, in the beginning. The Spanish Conquistadors had fine taste, from cobblestones to high white walls, interestingly interconnected. The architecture is stunning! The church is a pure jewel. And, the people are visitors, locals and ex pat's alike are such a fun combination. Everyone has something seemingly unique about them, and one knows that, when they find themselves at this little humming village at the end of a long, climbing road. The drive is pretty remarkable. Turns from desert to a tropical rainforest right before one's eyes. Hard to get to, a bit out of the way, but well worth the effort. And, as a person of adventure, like you are, you would enjoy. Mexico does have a reputation, I know, sometimes, for it's wild side. However, I feel more safe in Alamos, than I ever have most anywhere. Our parents raised us with a unique touch. Mostly spending our free/travel time growing up and experiencing life in Central America, and Mexico. I seem to leave my heart there, every time. It is with my hope we all find those places! Google a few stories about the Sonoran mines. Very cool and full of everything. It was the first silver strike, I believe, in North America. The stories of the Almada's (should you come across some) are well worth the read. 🌺
