i have a idea of what some of you are thinking right now ,if Tayopa was in the supers is all the ore or most of it still there and what happened to the ore before tayopa vanished and what happen after . well that was the easy part the Beale mining camp started before 1820 they found some of the mines and that made the native tribes mad and they started raids to force them off and away from the mines ..the Beale miniers sent the gold back east and a poor translation of their code left the treasure hunt far from where the treasure is today .. sometimes even the best ideas fail ..for the wrong reasons ,when people get a hold of something they don't have the skills to translate correctly they change the legend forever .see the code was not cypher correctly ,4 lines in pattern . the first started with the letter I for declaration of the independence but they only cypher 1/2 of the true code . the other 3 letter started each of the last 3 lines . true bedford and bufford but sorry not WV ,the other 3 letters were (owa) ,for the state of Iowa ! and yes there was a bedford and bufford Iowa at the time in the 1820's .they had buried the treasure and then took jewils south on the mississippi river to new orleans to trade for supplies . .and yes some one has found the treasure ...TJ Beale was not his real name his name was TJ bedford his father was a stagecoach driver after being one of the best pony express riders there ever was , he knew every trail from mexico to canada and the mining camp ask him to help them get the treasure back east . he got two old prison metal iron jail wagons and took the treasure back to Iowa and no one knew it was treasure and no one wanted to get in the wagons to see .what was in them .. they took the wagons apart and one is been found at the site where the treasure is ...,i even check the bolt pattern on the iron plates .. a match ... see the 30-50 gallon cast pots were order from PA and sent to new Orleans were they had cashed in some of the jewels to buy the cast iron pots ..that's how i knew the treasure was somewhere up river ...
