while you people argue about the stones, I found the locations and the mine (s). Funny!

Get inside yet?

Yes, most of the places have been looted from back in the 70s, camp fires from hunters possibly, old pabst beer cans, and old Pepsi bottles with the pry off caps.

I'd still run a metal detector in there (assuming you haven't thought of this already, which I'm sure you have!). I'd bet there's still things to discover!

Keep us informed!

I have found a lot of old rusted horseshoes that have been really worn. Alot of code, symbols, etc all over the place, and the rest I will keep to myself.

Wayne, that had to be put on hold. My parents passed away almost the same time and Dan's father had a stroke. I'm funding it myself... So with the circumstances that came up, this will need to wait. We don't have those glorious people to follow us around and cater to us like you and frank. Then I was thinking of scrapping the whole thing, because people like to find fault with things I share and I don't want my mug on the tv. So I'm just going to let this thread die because the skeptics showed up. Now I remember why I quit posting here. I will go back doing my thing while the people that seem to know it all but haven't found anything but sit at home burning their eyes out staring at a computer screen half their life and throwing some worthless shindig to blab about gold. My hat is off to Frank and Woody for actually finding gold instead of just sitting here and slamming someone's head through the wall for posting a few pictures like some of you do, because 99% of ya ruin it for people that actually find something and want to share it because your so darn quick to fire off pot shots but that's about as good as some of you are... But then, welcome to the world of you.

John-
Please explain everything that we're looking at in this picture, if you wouldn't mind. I do see a few things but I'm sure I'm missing others. Just looking for clarification.
Thank you in advance.

All the best-
JAA

This is the direction the map is read. The white lines are the topographical part, the blue inverted background is the canyon face. This is all the hints that I will give you.
