No one in there right mind will try and spend any length of time in those mountains during the Summer, It's more than just having enough water, you are literally in a microwave and there is no escape. Wait till fall or better yet winter, rattlesnakes are the easy part.

It’s not “literally” a microwave but your point still stands.

If anyone on here has ever found a sizable amount of gold before for the first time, maybe they know what gold fever is. Gold fever is real. ive got control over it, but I am still anxious to get back. Cant wait to put the video up

This thread is super long and I don’t really have time to go through it all so can you answer a couple questions to catch me up?

Have you found it yet?
Has anyone from here gone with you?
Why can’t you go by yourself?
What’s this video you speak of?
You seem to show one specific cave in the first picture but then say there are hundreds of them. So is the one in the picture NOT the right cave?

Thanks!

Its cool at night, with the right set-up it is possible. Air conditioned tents, snake bite chaps, four wheelers, permission to film for the history channel with a drone. It can be done.

Yes I have found the mine, and working with a production team for the history channel through an archaelogist I met on here to legally take care of the mine. The cave pic is one of many caves to this mine. Its also not sealed up, There is a small man hole at the top of IT. One small slip up and you can easily die alone out there. Equipment will fail. Ill check into the video you speak of Also.

Thank you for your questions,

Roger

I hope you do find something Roger Rantz. My search area is about 153 miles to the east of yours.

Nice! Aside from the markers, how do you know you found the exact right one? Have you been inside? Find any gold?

Thanks for catching me up!

There is gold laying around, but I cant take IT. So i got to wait for the government to test the gold. But besides the markers, it was the horse head boulder the apaches hung up in the huge tunnel. Its massive, the whole mine is massive and hidden in plain sight. Im still waiting for them to get a film permit, but I dont see them turning down the history channel. Its going to take some time, but it is coming. Also got proof the dutchman and capt Pauline Weaver were There, two people who were said to of found IT.

If you Google "Capt Pauline Weaver " under life on Wikipedia, you will see the gold rush started in la paz, not the sups... After the indians showed Weaver where the gold was

I think that I have been out there once or twice when it felt like someone pushed the "cook popcorn" button


What is it like compared to Tucson AZ? I use to live in Tucson, absolutely loved the weather, even in the summer

You can watch me on the history channel, after the country opens back up internationally. I actually won a contest through this website to be on a treasure hunting reality show. So Ill only take advice from the expert archaelogists, that end up on site.

The History Channel has lost a lot of credibility due to scripting and staged shows.

I can assure you they didnt stage me finding IT. I just got lucky, and knew the dutchman stories. But I will tell you there is more to be found. The "lost silver sheep mine is supposed to be near the dutchmans. Ive found more monuments that stretch for hundreds of miles, but i havent been able to decipher them yet. But if you ask me, i think its true "the dutchman mine " was part of eldarado. So there is still plenty of other treasure to find. Im only disclosing this because we are in a trade war. So those who are willing to look, i just gave you a head start. Happy hunting

Was there ever a competition?

I really wish you well if you get a on a TV show. If you want stardom then then I wish you the best. But careful what ya wish for amigo. Being an reality star actor is not being a treasure hunter and stardom is only fleeting like a shooting star.

No doubt your young, rash with fire in your belly full of energy. But you are doomed to make the same mistakes many others here have done long before you were even sucking on your mama's tit. The era might be different but the story and mistakes are always the same.

Respect is expected like if its pocket money by a generation today that thinks respect is an entitlement.. Respect has to earned amigo before it can be given. Otherwise it is just a worthless vanity. Such is the ultimate lesson one learns on the journey to earn it.

To earn respect, you have to give it. Im not going to respect someone who comes hating on me for nothing ive done to them. That's plain and simple. And its sad that a lot of people today enjoy bullying and hate. But its also not my problem.
