Paying people for what ? I thought you went alone ?

What "constitutes" a lot of money ? My wife spends a lot of money.

Roger, we are asking you honest questions and based on your responses we give our honest feedback.

Sorry that you cant read everything ive posted. But no, i dont go alone. Some team members only made it half way and i had to walk the rest. On my last trip my step cousin made it to the site with me, but he lied to me about bringing the camera and i disappeared on him about thirty ft away checked the mine and left. He got sick, said i just vanished before his eyes like a "wormhole" and he couldnt find me. The caves are hidden by the way the mine and angles are cut

he has been worried about views since he got here...my guess is the more views he gets ...the more chance he has of getting on a reality show

I already got chosen for the reality show Dave. I thank the guests because they arent hating

For those who have trouble reading through all this, I found all the monuments related to this mine outside of the superstition mountains via sat imagery. I also put up proof that capt Pauline Weaver, and the dutchman were in this area, two people that were said to have found the mine

I also showed four pks to the south lining up with the mine and needle to the north via terrain imaging. As one of the clues states. Im currently waiting for a film permit and contract to film this summer for the history channel, So i will not be posting any new info out of respect for the production team. If they fold on my contract signing that would be the only exception

roger..the clue (if it ever was a valid clue) is on a line where 4 peaks line up as one..in a line with weavers needle....that clue does not fit your area....it couldn't even be bent or twisted to make it fit anywhere near your area:icon_scratch:

Not to mention....that the clue has Four Peaks to the North and Weavers Needle to the South....which is opposite to what Roger believes.

This illustrates another problem with using google earth or even land based observation to look for subjective clues in rocks, mountains, alignment of objects etc: Pareidolia and confirmation bias. We see what we want to see. Faces, animals, the lining up of peaks or rocks etc.

A classic example of Pareidolia is of the "mars face" below:

Roger,
I just can't figure out why you are basing this whole thing on Capt Pauline Weaver. Yes he was a part of the group that developed the La Paz Placers, but it honestly didn't last that long and he moved on to Rich Hill and then down around Prescott and to other parts of AZ. He died a camp Verde, AZ in 1867 apparently dead broke. I will agree that this man was a noted frontiersman and prospector and apparently had a pretty exciting life. But nowhere and I mean nowhere is there any evidence that he located the richest mine in the world. Most of those very early prospectors in AZ were looking for the easy surface placers and when thy were exhausted, thy moved on, an this was the story of Pauline Weaver. He certainly was an active prospector but their is zero evidence or reference of any sort that he found the really, really big one. He was involved in the early workings of Rich Hill and that was a big one, but he even moved on from that once the easy surface gold was gone

bill..roger is in line with the hundreds of others that have found a lost mine via google earth....they look online and read up on all the bogus clues that are spread like wildfire and then start trying to make them fit their area...i've seen and met dozens of them around apache junction...they are all broke too:laughing7:

All that coming from experts who didnt find it?
When you watch the show, see all the skulls from the perelta family, and the gold to boot... Youll still be in denial when the ore matches

Skulls, you found human skulls? That's the first you've mentioned that.

In fact you and nobodie keep jumping back between this thread, and the new reality show by chagy. It was a real scout for a production team.
