Ahem. Having moderated several low traffic boards over the years, I tell users to appreciate and respect the time used by any answer to any question. No matter how irrelevant to the question the answer may be. So, thanks, honestly, for your answer.
However, your answer had absolutely nothing to do with my question which was if it was okay to post on an old thread or start a new one with a link to this one. The fact you posted on it would seem to indicate it is okay. So, here goes with a comment.
I am not going to get involved with any serious debate on my theory here. See
http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/a...pie-grande-s-theory-moctezuma-s-treasure.html for a summary of postings over several years on my belief that Moctezuma's treasure is buried within 150 meters of my computer. Debate all you wish on the Aztec Gold forum, just not here. You can, of course; it's still a free country, but I will not participate here.
I am convinced that there is a stone floor of modern construction; then a layer of dirt, then another stone "floor". We know that much already.
What is the subject of interest is I am convinced below that stone 'floor' is a series of stone boxes filled with half a billion dollars worth of gold and jewels.
I do not think GPR can see the gold nor jewels. My understanding is GPR may show the stone boxes down there. When the gold was stored in Moctezuma's house originally, that is roughly how it was stored. So, since local oral tradition says it took them a week to 'bury' it, that would agree with the work involved in making just such stone boxes.
Verifying the existence of such stone boxes without digging would support my theory that the treasure is there.
The reason I made the summary page is apparently it takes many hours to read all that I have posted over the years on the topic. Some guy came on; read one posting; and assumed I was a dummy who was being lead astray by local drunks in a bar. As he had done himself. I made the summary page so no one else made a fool out of himself.
Hiring a GPR Operator, that would not be smart in this case. Bring in an experienced GPR operator and ask him to look for half a billion dollar treasure? But, hey, guy, don't tell anyone, capiche? How droll!
As far as being able to operate the GPR. I worked for over 30 years in one of the highest tech factories on the planet. And, I worked on some of the highest tech equipment on the planet. No brag; just fact.
Having a GPR and unlimited time to run it, it would surprise me if I could not learn to run it. After all, I put my pants on the same as the GPR operators do. (Both legs at the same time.

)
I not only had to sometimes learn new equipment, from scratch, but in some cases, had to write users manual for them. I am not saying I could do it as fast as before I retired, but speed would not matter much if I had unlimited access.
Of course, rental fees for many days just to learn to run one would be exorbitant. Which is why a modestly priced GPR would be such a great boon.
But, I can see why used, actually unused, devices sold so cheaply. Anyone who expected a GPR to find rings and bracelets will naturally be disappointed when they find out they probably aren't even intended to do that.
It is also known that tunnels exist on the Moctezuma property. No one knows how extensively so that would be another reason to have unlimited access to a GPR. If you have a tool, uses appear.
