Half is Yours if You can Help Me find this Mine

[HappyTrails55]

So I've been struggling for quite a few years now looking and finding quite a bit and I believe have come down to the very spot or canyon where the mine is but I don't have the technology of deep detectors or the man power it would take to excavate, I'm getting too old for this but what I got, I give it all I can. I need Serious Help from the Experts. I want to find this, it would be a Goodie. They didn't go to all of this trouble to hide a worthless mine or what is inside of it. This is on a Legal Placer Mining Claim and My remaining partners of it will not help me, so I'm putting it out here for Help from the Experts that Specialize in Finding These. The Entire Claim and it's immediate outside borders have all kinds of Old Spanish Rock Monuments and I have narrowed it down to this TURTLE that has No Legs, No Tail, just a Head, the Head is still there but is Detachable and has EYES. I followed the Direction of the Head and where the Eyes were Looking and found in the Next Canyon Over another SIGN, A SUN SIGN, like the one that is on the front of one of Kenworthy's Books. Here's some Pic's...

If that's red paint in some of those pictures the first thing I would do is scrape a few flakes off as samples and have them analyzed. Easy to do and it will tell you exactly what you need to know: Hundreds of years old it could be the remnant of a Spanish sign. Not hundreds of years old and it most likely means nothing.

I also think that before most people here would help you they would want more background information as to how you acquired this claim, i.e. how long ago, how did you hear of it, what made you decide to take a chance on it, etc.

Red Paint !!! ? It's GRANITE FOR GOD'S SAKE'S.....hee,hee .....I don't know where you got that idea at.....We've had the claim since 2011, it's a corporate claim of 160 acres.....Serious replies can contact me here for more Info, but this claim has produced mostly flour gold since the late 1870's. Documented in the San Luis Tribune News Paper of 1897, Alexander Stewart was the Supervisor for the La Panza Mining Company which employed 25 workers (where our claim is) and had a series of sluices and hydraulic mining, built a wing dam (which is still there) and pulled out for the year of 1897 a little over 800 ounces of gold. It is also Documented in the in the early part of the 1880's Book "History of San Luis Obispo County of California, Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of it's Prominent Men and Pioneers, OAKLAND, CAL. By Thompson and West, 1883 by MYRON ANGEL of whom was a Eminent History Scholar and FOUNDER of California Polytechnic COLLEGE, of which died on June 27th, 1911 at the age of 83. He is also amongst of many other things, a AUTHOR of IN THE BANCROFT LIBRARIES. Out of this Big Boo of 408 Pages, he has a Chapter in it of the MINES OF SAN LUIS OBISPO and on Pages 248, 249, 250 he writes and Reports of the Gold Mines of La Panza and Specificly has Our Claim Location in it. There is documented evidence Histories of the Spanish from San Luis Obispo Mission and San Miguel Mission as well as the De La Guerra Families of Santa Barbara mining in this country in the early 1800's. Anybody here on treasurenet that has read any of my posts (of which are many) should already know that I have backup information before I start shooting my mouth off and I am totally Honest.

Ok, makes sense to me now. I was looking at the picture in the center of the second row and it looked like red paint that had become very worn. If you are looking for help, the information you provided is exactly what people are looking for so they know they aren't being scammed. Well, that and you aren't located in the Philippines...

Seems like I have seen this before somewhere. HHHMMMM

 

[HappyTrails55]

I have posted this on another thread quite awhile ago.

 

[Ol' Kentuck]

Happy Trails, I would consider that something formerly occupied that spot, thus it's absence revealing a surface devoid of the desert varnish seen on the rest of the turtle. Leones Corazon made a post on a different thread illustrating a similar situation.

Looks like a bunch of old workings that have been covered up in a number of your different pics that you have on this area in your different posts. Knowing everything that you do, you should map it all out for yourself on google earth and look at everything from above, while changing the angle of the horizon, etc. Look for irregularities in the ground surrounding some of your marking stones being that there's been obvious digging and refilling in the past. Then do a fly over in a helicopter if you find something. I would definitely run a detector in the depressions just to find any iron before the grass gets to tall next month. I found a nice deposit with google earth, but you need to know the area, and you do

Okay, this is also in the vicinity of the Sun Sign...It's either a Turtle or maybe a Beaver ? What do you think.....And the very back of it or on the tail end is a peculiar "V" looking engraving..... What's Your Thoughts ?

 

[Honest Samuel]

Good hunting and good luck to you.

 

[HappyTrails55]

Well, I found a little bit of it so far, pretty sure that the animal here is sniffing the ground and now so am I.

 

[xfactor]

Not looking for half...not even a quarter...but would be fun and exciting to participate.
Where are you located...state?

Since you own the claim, maybe open it up for a group of fellow enthusiasts to come, camp out of a week or so and do some digging!
Maybe sign a contract with you for fair portion..but definitely not half ...just a thought.

 

[HappyTrails55]

xfactor ...I like that idea, let me ponder it for awhile, this is in San Luis Obispo County, California.

Hello, I am not an expert at this,but trying to learn myself,but isn't your first turtle laying eggs, I would think you should be very close ,I believe you should stay within sight of turtle. PS let me know if you Bingo!

 

[ART DECO]

Upon further examination your turtle seems to be on a female turtle which would result in laying eggs, I have read this means two or more caches maybe your in a Kings fifth collection site? With the head seaming to be easily removed and replaced, would be a good way for two parties to communicate, just a thought also your sun sign is a Pentagon in Sandy1 guide a silver aura was caught on camera and at the cache spot was a turtle and a Pentagon very very close to cache spot. I hope I'm helping as I stated I'm no expert!

 

[HappyTrails55]

ArtDeco Good Points, gives me a lot to think about .....now there's something else here that bothers me, between the Laying Turtle and the Sun Sign there's a hill that separates these 2 little canyons, pretty close to the top of the hill there a Very Old Giant Valley Oak that's been dead for years and ravaged by fire many times, this maybe something that's part of the puzzle, I cannot rule it out yet. The center of the oak or the main trunk is gone (either naturally or maybe not) and has a unique form of branches, one that looks like a "window". The circumference at it's base has to be at least 15 feet or more, I need to measure it. Anyhow I keep thinking of Triangles, here's some pic's........

 

[HappyTrails55]

So I'm just rambling now with a few more pictures, I might have a Ghost here too, I caught something on film awhile back ago that resembles a Face of a Bearded Man, now the first pic is of my jr. friend sitting with his back to this rock, that's the rock you want to be looking at to see this Face in the coming up pictures. You'll note also that there is a Rock Monument of sorts that appears to be like a POZO Stone (Air Shaft Covering Stone) ? Is this part of the puzzle, I don't know...

 

[dog the treasure hunter]

Dont know about a mine right there,but i believe there should be a cache somewhere back behind that person.

There should be a cache in that area also.
