Any ideas of what this map/carving is saying?

One or two stories do tell of the same old world families still mining into the 1930's or so and it might appear that the last may have died in world war two or just old age. Not to hard to imagine. My focus has centered around mines of the early 19th and previous centuries, but I have already come to know these guys were cunning at least.

So, the 'cyanide-laced' booby trap stuff was just a mis-chosen embellishment to your story? Makes for a better plot, I'll admit, but try to keep your stories at least semi-plausible.

Hey Springfield,

How goes the study? Did a little more research on the acids of old and came across a passage or two going back to an earlier time span................. In 1815 Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac deduced Prussic acid's chemical formula. The radical cyanide in hydrogen cyanide was given its name from the Greek word for blue, again owing to its derivation from Prussian blue.

Yet in it's infancy, still a sleeping dragon to contend with. I have an old world graphic of a guard cache being stabbed by the thrust of a turban wearing bandit with a cobra head piece attached at the front. The blade length showing the depth and means of reaching the treasure, but I feel it may just as well beware of a deadly splitting headache to boot. Probably more of a warning given to arsenic I would presume, commonly found in silver digs.

TF, have you ever come across a concealed clay-sealed mine during your
reasearch?
