Found this morning, another gold mine lead

I've been looking at these maps for 30 years, and am still finding things.

Like this one I found this morning on the on-line maps on my site:

It doesn't mean there was always found gold there. I chased a few myself, only learning through research they were salted by crooks. Gold was filled in shotgun shells, then fired into cave walls. The men would make a claim, then sell it to a investor. The investor would then excavate, finding no more gold, the mine would be abandoned.


Here's some interesting reading of one I tried to authenticate where I lived in Colorado (color red) Spanish

Located about eight miles north of Ward, Allen’s Park could have become a fairly important town. News reports 1n 1897 said “the town was filling up fast with many stores and hotels.” It had plans to become one of the largest towns in the state of Colorado. Shortly after the turn of the century, the mines found to be misled, petered out and that was the end of Allen’s Park Colorado.

I agree, and I've heard similar stories.

But it's not far away and certainly worth a couple hours of panning the streams and runoff channels in the area.
I was researching something else - a property owner's name - when I came to look closely at that part of the map.

Something I found last night while looking at old maps and researching a guy named Cromwell who boasted of burying treasure in Northern Massachusetts. Look where the Merrimack River comes in from New Hampshire, and look for Cromwell's name.

Today a mall covers most of that area. I have read of 2 caches of gold coins being found when they built that mall.

Agreed, but for the Northern Mass. stuff, a 14 year old kid found a cache of coins in the mid-1980s.
