La Sevilliana

[Furness]

Has anyone heard of, or any information stories etc on a lost gold mine in Mexico named La Sevilliana, supposed location in Guanajuato, similar to naranjal and lost after the war of Independence,

i know there is a silver mine of that name that is still in production but have been assured it is not that one,

Dear funess;
No I have not heard of the lost mine in Guanajuto called the Sevilliana mine, however I have heard tell of a lost mine named the Sevillana in Guanajuato.

he he he Thank you Lamar, i'm also sure you realised it was a typo on my part but thank you does that mean you know as much as me or that you know more,

Dear furness;
No I did not realize that it was a typo, my friend. There may very well exist, or did exist, a Sevilliana mine. Spanish names are often times separated by only one or two letters, or sometimes even a accent mark. This is why I wished for verification if it was a typo or not.

Dear 8 Reales;
Great FIND, my friend! I think that the gentleman known as *furness* may be trying to track down the legendary Sevillana prospect that was discovered......











Oooooooooooops! I've said too much!

Hello 8 Reales,

Thanks for the info, yes it is weird although furness is not my name it's just a handle i use, i have an interest in the old Furness railway that was built in the north west of England originally to move ore from the mines to the smelters, unfortunately only iron ore,

Lamar my friend Thank you,no I'm keeping nothing on the QT, all i know is the name of the mine and that its in Guanajuato,
my research due to where i live is nothing more than pouring over google earth, looking for the clues in the stories that have been posted on here, so yes i am looking for any clues others on here may have,
La Sevilliana came up in conversation with a Goil ( thank you for the correct spelling jose ) jejeje
a woman I'm writing to in Monterrey, where I'm planning on retiring to next year,
