Been there a few times have you.

Been close it. Not actually stood by it. It would really be a hike. Have you been in the opening? On the west side is a good treasure story as told by Temple Cornelius in Sheepherders Gold.

EE you reminded my of a gross little bug we dug up when we were kids. It was called a Child of the Earth. They were creepy things and bugs don't get to me. They had a big head with dots for eyes, don't remember how many legs they had. Kind of resembles that. Thomas

Now this is a blast from the past. Whenever I visited New Mexico when I was a kid my cousins and I would look for Children of the Earth. Thanks for the revival of a memory.

Yeah, a lot of the Mexicans around here are terrified of them - looks like they have a little human head. We've got some other good bugs - vinegaroons will get your attention, so will those foot-long centipedes.

Yes I have been there to the window it is big country up there, I could spend the rest of my life wandering around up there its awesome but dangerous. Probably one of the worst lighting storms I have ever been in was up there.The legend say it is over in the Ute Creek drainage's but there is quite a bit of exposed ore veins up there long way to pack samples out.

It's called the Jerusalem cricket or ant because the Navajos called it the skull insect, and the Franciscan priests who were there to Christianize them named it in relation to Golgotha or Calvary outside of Jerusalem where the Crucifixion took place as well as the skull (as well as leg bones)or rather "skull and crossbones" of the first man (Adam) was thought to be buried.

Have you heard about the lost Swede east of Silverton. It was an outcropping of extremely high grade Tellurides and Calaverite. Some crazy amount to the ton like over 100k or something astounding? Wouldn't that be fun to find?

Thanks and great that you were there. Thank you for sharing your adventure.

Oh yes on the Swede prospector goes into Silverton with mules has extremely rich ore and nuggets everyone wants to know were did it come from. Swede is followed multiple times no luck Swede dies ledge is lost and it goes on and on.What I think people do not understand in that country the higher you go the better the gold is so its real dangerous not for the novice. The stories are real interesting but in my research is it worth it, a few people have succumbed to the elements up there mostly hypothermia and dehydration mostly I could tell of a few personal experiences up there but at this time I can not releases that info as of yet all I can say is head on a swivel.

After spending years reading and lastly reading the translations from the spanish priests themselves, they gave interesting information about rules pertaining to the mines.
In around 1710 there was a massive earthquake in the western area of the now United States. A large number of miners were killed. The King of Spain issued another rule in connection with the gold mines. They were to tunnel parallel to the gold vein they were following, 10 to 15 feet away. In would be a rescue tunnel. Also served in other ways, such as when the Spanish returned to Mexico in the fall, they would cover the gold tunnel and leave the rescue tunnel open. Anyone finding it would see that it was "played out" but it really was a rescue tunnel or dummy mine.
In 1810 when all the Spanish were called to make haste and return to fight the Mexicans, they cached what bullion they had at the front of the mine and then covered it. All that was left open is the dummy mine. (You'd be a dummy to spend any time in it)

Think.

A 2-box would come in handy searching around the round hole.

If anyone came back to retrieve the cache, they would leave both tunnels open.

If in solid rock with multiple entrances blocked with rocks, yet one small entrance is left open but you'd need a ladder to get to it, it also has been retrieved.

The Spanish lost the war so they didn't return. Some Mexicans did.

It has been my observation they never did the same thing in the same place. It was always mine ore, move ore, crush ore , smelt ore, hide it for shipment. Now the areas of these process would be close to the mine but never tied to it they actually would not even store the miming tools in the mine.I have never seen 2 tunnels it was hard enough for them to punch one into the rock but that is not to say they did it in different area of geology.

Halito.

Why do you guys figure that the Cherokee were these wealthy native americans who went around burying precious metals? Is it because the ground sparkles in Dahlonega and the surrounding areas of Georgia? YOU guys had to teach them how to "pan" for the gold.

If there were so wealthy, why haven't they come back and recovered what was stolen? After all, thousands of their people were murdered for what you are hoping to find!

Read some of my other posts concerning this subject. What "treasures" were buried were things that had special value only to the one burying them, not to anyone else. No intrinsic value, no monetary value, no historical value (unless you are blood to that person).

Alpha / Omega

OD,
Can you or anyone else explain to me the typical layout for the Alpha / Omega?
I'm not quite grasping how these relate to each other.
Are they set in a triangle or random and how is the location of treasure related?
are they miles apart or within a certain distance that you have found to be common?
Just trying to understand how they relate to
the typical spanish site.
Thanks,
Kell.
