You'll all see by 2016. Things are moving rapidly on our end. So many amazing places and treasures in NM. When it comes to Bigfoot we are working with UNM on DNA studies. The Sandias and all surrounding mountain ranges have amazing and unknown to most, treasures 30,000yrs to 200yrs in age.

I for one almost alway side with the underdog in an argument. Your claims are bold and fascinating and if correct, have the potential to turn over tables. Keep us posted and teased with what you can share.


Good luck!

Will do Hal. I wouldn't waste my time with bold statements unless true.

We have located both the Dutchman/Montezuma and the 7 Cities(7 Chambers) in NM. All evidence and data, along with contents catalogued.
Very intresting, is there any chance do you think the 7 cities is in mulitple spots or do you believe you have found the whole cache? Looking forward to your unvieling.

All 7 chambers have been located and identified. The funded agencies have catalogued all contents without ever opening anything. We are in process of filming a show soon which we have all creative control.

Another opinion for those chasing after the Dutchman's Lost Mine.

There is a reason I am posting here, I guess it's the subject matter.
I came on TN over two years ago, knowing my travels as a researcher and treasure hunter were at an end due to my health.
Friends and family thought it would be good to share my knowledge and experiences.
I have found after all this time, that some want to share and some don't.
Some don't even have a goal or want one. Some are just frustrated.

The only "evidence" I have seen so far regarding the "Dutchman" and his gold is a matchbox.
Supposedly made from the Dutchman's gold.
There is a lot to this story that probably will never be told or known.
Only exaggerated over the years.

I don't have all the answers but maybe the ones I do have are the right ones....

Compare the quartz in the matchbox with the quartz shown here.
That's all I have to say about this. You decide.

Matchbox  Gold Dutchman Ore.jpg

NotPeralta,

Magnificent ore, the quartz is perfect and the richness of the gold about the same as the Matchbox. VERY similar !

Nice gold ore. Where did it come from?

You'll all see by 2016. Things are moving rapidly on our end. So many amazing places and treasures in NM. When it comes to Bigfoot we are working with UNM on DNA studies. The Sandias and all surrounding mountain ranges have amazing and unknown to most, treasures 30,000yrs to 200yrs in age.

2016? That will never do. We have a member here that says he can walk to the mines in 35 minutes. He has said he has the King of Spain, the Apache tribe, various diplomats, helicopters and the Discovery Channel all lined up and ready to document his adventure and we here at TN are all going to get a chunk of gold as a souvenir of his discovery. so you best get cracking (as in get going):whip2:.

May I suggest that the original viewer of Cibola, Estaban, remarked on how the walls of the buildings reflected the golden glow in the "Sunlight" No cave.

Don Jose,

For a fascinating read on the subject, as it applies to the American Southwest, I would highly recommend Douglas Preston's "Cities of Gold".

From Smithsonian Magazine:

"By setting out with two companions and six horses to track Coronado's army across a thousand miles of brutal desert and mountain country, from the Mexican border through Arizona into New Mexico, the author was ready to risk his life to try to see with his own eyes, as it were, 'that moment 450 years ago, when the peoples of the Old World and the New World first encountered each other' along this path, and quickly began the strife-torn redefining of America......Throughout the book, Preston intersperses the original reports and memoirs of Coronado's adventure with accounts of his own party's hard progress......"

Take care,

Joe

Seven months to go! Can hardly wait.

FYI, hate to break it to you bubba, but the earliest archaeological evidence of metalwork dates to 8,700 B.C.

So I'm not sure there were any "treasure" in existence 30,000 years ago. Until the advent of metalworking, minerals had zero value for humankind.

Why not sdc ???? He was the first and only one to see it origionally. It was used by Spain to accelerate exploration of the new world at no, or very llittle expense to the Gov't

Cibola lies in the barranca de Conijaqui, Sinloa. The buildings were plastered with Iron pyrites and they worshiped the Buffalo, left many statues of Bufs.

As for being a womanizer, there has to be a bit of compensation for living in the wild for so long.

That's indeed an excellent read. Here's a very good artifact trace of the expedition's apparent true course. A bit at odds with the early academics' interpretations of the journals, but intriguing nonetheless.

The accepted buzz is that Estavanico only heard rumors while traveling with Cabeza de Vaca. While later serving as Marcos de Niza's point man, he was killed at Zuni for molesting the women there. Marcos never saw the "golden walls" - he didn't get that far north - but his report got Mendoza and others excited back in Mexico. The naive Coronado and other rich guys paid for the expedition. Marcos is the joker in the deck - we don't really know what happened for certain during his trip north. He obviously lied about it. Might have had something to do with his attitude about the Natives and the Spanish, since he was a witness of Pizarro's dirty deeds in Peru.
