    The nothing in paticular site ???

    So as our amigo BB becomes a distant memory, the "everything" thread seems to have died a slow painful death. So with BBs demise, maybe its time for someone else to step up to the plate for cross examination and ridicule . Better yet maybe we could all discuss our current projects and face the jury that is the " Tnet treasure legends posters" (and anyone else who wishes to join the fray)
    You all know my project is the 17 tons story and RDTs is Tayopa, so I'l offer myself as the sacrificial lamb and volunteer RDT for the same . The rest of you can offer yourselves at will, but be prepared for the eons of knowledge and information held by those who frequent this forum to be used to full effect.

    Let the battle commence

    The everything site is dead, long live the nothing in paticular site.

    Re: The nothing in paticular site ???

    Thanks for the invite and starting this thread Peerless!
    I have nothing in particular to say, just darn glad I now have a place to say it.
    Alright all you treasure hunters/adventurers, let the games began.
    The temperature here is supposed to be 20 below zero by Sunday night
    50 mph winds, wind chills well below minus 50,
    it's going to be a long cold winter if your stories also go cold.
    Light a fire, warm me up!

    I sure hope not, I was speaking metophorically.

    Anyhow I offered myself as the lamb, I believe I have found the 1950s site where the 17 tons "gang" had stored the gold whilst trying to do a deal with the government.
    I have evidence enough to convince myself that I have the site, however I still only have theories as to how the hoard being offered came to be in thier possesion. One theory of mine is that Holmdahl had located a treasure of Villas, although that angle is being discussed in another thread, and so I will put out another possible theory.
    I believe it could also be possible that Don Luis Terrazas could have entered the States when he fled Mexico with many tons of gold. I often wondered where he could have stored it as at the time I would have thought it unlikely that he turned up at a bank and made a deposit. As far as I am aware he settled in Texas and I have been unable to trace any records that he had made such a deposit or any reports that he did.
    However I did locate 2 articles that interested me. One was that he had entered the States with trucks laden with gold and silver and had out ran Villas men. The other concerns the holding hostage of his son where the newspaper reports of the time claim he was unable to pay the ransom as his gold was tied up with the gold confiscation act ? both stories were from the early 1900s.
    Could it be possible that Terrazas had stashed his wealth somewhere in the wilds of texas or NM? I believe it could be possible.

    I would hazzard a guess and say that a man who had an estimated fortune of $400,000,000 , 500,000 head of cattle, 250,000 head of sheep, 250,000 horses and mules
    Would certainly of had to own trucks, for how could one run such a vast estate (some 7,000,000 acres or more) without access to transportation. He also owned several mines including gold mines.

    Re: The nothing in paticular site ???

    it was a confusing time...
    villa does massed charges into barbed wire and machine gun nests...
    the US military has few forms of motorized transport to chase villa...
    airplanes barely fly...
    anything is possible.

    RDT, You can count me among those who believe you have found Tayopa, however I do have a question, what was it that led you to look where you looked ? given that others were looking somewhere different altogether.
    I dont know for sure but I would guess you used a different thought train, which obviously paid off.
    Given the number of searchers hunting the 17 tons cache, one has to ask, why has no one managed to find it?
    could it be that thier research has sent them in the wrong direction?

    We do agree on one thing though, I am nuts and a tad dyslexic

    HI SWR: you posted --> Legends tend work that way…eh?
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    True, but, many do pay off and come to life. Tayopa, Zimbabwe Troy, soon Atlantis /Azatlan, and on.

    Incidentally I see that scientists yesterday discovered a sugar molecule in a distant galaxy which is critical for life evolving. They found it by the sugar molecule's inherent frequency which is made up of the composite atomic structure frequency of it's elements. hmm shades of dowsing and LRL ? hehe

    Oh heck on second thought, I guess will play the sacrificial lamb too, what subject still needs one? LDM? LAD? Atlantis/Aztlan? Pegleg's black gold nuggets? VP? Which would you prefer that I take responsibility for "defending"? I am not picky and open to suggestions for other subjects instead of those mentioned. Thank you in advance,

    Re: The nothing in paticular site ???

    Just had to put my two cents in.

    On the Terrazas family, and the "great escape". An interesting read, I think, and maybe a little more information on the outcome and how gold might have gotten to where it ended up.

    Note this excerpt (LuisTerrazas II speaking) "No hearing before any court was given me. I was not told the reason for my arrest. In truth, I do not know to this day why I was tortured as I was, except that my father was wealthy and I was the tool or extorting money from him"

    Oro, I would be interested to hear your take on VP, do you think Noss found a cache in VP or do you suspect he used it as a cover story for the items he did have in his possesion?

    What would a Bowman-esque post be without a graphic ?
    SWR, you could not be more wrong if you tried. Should I take the following in the same vein and retract my posts and act all hurt ?
