Well Swift was a master of changing the way you see or how something looks. And then I figured out that he even made trees and wire netting to throw me off. Yeah I've got the Swift obstacle course on the whole side of the mountain. Yes fake trees and the works . The way to the crowns is to climb high up to a tree Houston then down to the crown. Well so now there's a lot to see with a picture!
Well I was hoping that one of you are paying attention to fine details. Did you find the crowns yet in the pictures I've sent? I'll try to get you a better shot later.

You have an unusual perspective, I see nothing but typical landscape. If your trying to show people something it may help if you spend more time explaining your reasoning. I highly doubt any paint would last 250+yrs exposed to the elements. Inside a rock shelter it might be possible, but not on exposed rocks. Fake trees and wires? C'mon.

I seen "nothing" in this video that would lead me to believe that he is no where close to finding the Swift Mines.. I've seen a few rocks like that myself! My opinion wrong buffalo rock! Swifts buffalo rock has a area "above" it that has a place where you can stand and look west seeing a hole through a cliff. Also the spot he claims is the mine is all natural rock fractures which normaly occur in the wilderness. The triangles in the footage, camera flare! Knowing he believes this to be Swifts mines, makes my Swift site all that much safer..lol. HH everyone!
this guy has a big emagination if you do not believe it continue on rgb1

I concur, Mr. Scott's video, IMO, is 98% wishful thinking. I only re-posted a link to it for any future readers/researchers on this thread. The original posted link to the video was dead.

I'm confused. You seem to be seeking a silver mine in a sedimentary rock known to host gas and oil. You don't have to know much geology to know a silver deposit can not exist in those circumstances,

Maybe nearby there are sedimentary rocks that host zinc and lead? (SEDEX) If so there might be a chance of silver/lead ore but not free milling silver. When searching sedimentary rocks for silver deposits you would look for dark gray galena. Silver, if any, would be combined with the galena and zinc.

Here are the known galena deposits in Kentucky along with some pictures of what to look for.

There is one known SEDEX deposit in Kentucky but the silver is only trace amounts and none of the minerals have commercial values.

Good luck
you are wrong and i can prove it

Check this imagination out! I found this green stone that looks like it's a marker for a stash of ore. I melted this red rock today and this is what I got out before I blew the side of the pot out. I'm on the front line burning it up and what if I'm right!

Here are few pics of some rich out crops and they are concealed with a natural look. Peck on the rocks and they will sound hollow!

Look at this one that's showing the red rock and it's hollow!

What I do know is for a fact, that you have to be on the right angle to get it just right! Once you figure it out, its such a beautiful sight to see. I can't wait to get back out there and take another shot because you never know what you will see next. Swift knew exactly which rock to use in the right place to paint an image of stone.

Wow! This is cool stuff Feathers, hope it pans out and you have found it! Please overlook anyone's skepticism, as we that have been on this forum have seen a dozen people try to convince us they have found it. Then they disappear. So, keep going as far as you can, and thanks for sharing those are great pictures!

I'm giving it my best shot and I know I'm on it.

You need to fill us in on the sword, I do not recall a reference to one in any Swift journal I have read. But every state/region seems to have a different version.
Well this is what I ran today out of the red rock. Buy you a pot like I did and start cooking I guess. IMG_20230219_175126840.jpg
