The light flashes are extremely interesting Mike. I have posted my postulation on them in your forum. . LIGHT FLASHES
'
The basic conditions require an adobe type soil which is impervious and it must also contain the necessary chemicals, and naturally the metal.. As the metal undergoes this decomposition, one of the products is this luminous materiel, but in a dry adobe soil it cannot escape, so it accumulates. Generally when the first rains arrive in the areas where Adobe soil is found, they loosen the soil enough so that the accumulated luminous materiel is able to escape. Many times the layer over the metal isn't softened enough, so the gas continues spreading out until it finds an exit. This distance may be from exactly overhead to a100 meters'.
It is just that simple.
No, fort knox isn't an adobie type soil.

Hi Mike, this is from a robbery of 10 mule loads, this is my share.
The location was first established by a fire, then homed in with a metal detector -- fires seldom exit over the buried materiel,

Thanks for the link - I'll read that thread as soon as I get time. I had old Mexican miners tell me about this when I was living in CO. As I recall (I'll try to dig up my old info), it's supposedly the real deal. It has to be at night because the light is like a blue methanol flame - hard to see unless it's very dark. Also, the air has to be electrically charged ("a stormy night with lightning").
Another one is the Polaroid SX70-pictures-at-sunup legend. Allegedly, using SX70 film only, an aura appears over a gold deposit if you photograph the spot with the rising sun behind you. Woo-woo. I don't believe SX70 film is available anymore, but I borrowed a Polaroid camera and tried this once back in the 80s and got nice pictures but no auras. Turned out later that I was on the wrong site anyway. Ha ha.
Later edit. Read the thread - very interesting. Found my notes. In both cases - blue light and SX70 film - the source was a cache of gold, not just any old gold-bearing earth. Mexican: "you can find buried gold ...". TH: "You can photograph a gold cache's aura ...". Therefore, Mike's references to Agricola's and others reports from hundreds of years ago may indicate that they were locating high-grade outcrops or near-surface veins by observing light flashes. This makes sense.

Thanks for the kind words, Dave. Yes, he could draw & fan that single action colt!!
He would hold that 12ga double barrel side by side shotgun with 1 hand & blow both barrels, 3 1/2" loads!!
I wanted to show how much effort it took to build everything he has built in my lifetime.
Did you go to page 2 showing the codes? i'll be adding more as time goes by.

Az dave -- fast draw ? now your are speaking my language. I was officially timed at 3/5 of a sec to draw and hit a sil.target at 12 meters, me iniating the draw.
In the Border Patrol we practiced by putting a coin on our outstretched pistol hand, then drawing and catching the coin on the pistol barrel.
Course I am sorta out of practice now, plus, they loused up my right shoulder when they operated on me for terminal neck cancer back on my 80 th . sigh.

I agree Carol, you don't really forget, but you do become rusty.
real...the only man around here that came close to carrol's skill with a colt 45 was chuck crawford...i heard bob ward was pretty good too but never saw him in action
i took a look at the 2nd page..i see you have a pic of carrol's friend mike ..carrol used to talk about him quite a bit...if i remember correctly he was done in by a rattlesnake
lol..its hell getting old..cant remember squat anymore..i thought he lost his foot from a rattlesnake bite
