I do not think Ron and Bob found any new vein at the Mammoth, it was at the Black Queen this past winter. It was not new either, it was some low grade that was exposed after they drained the pit.
The test djui5 is refering to is the one done by Glover and is in his book Golden Dream Part 1.
I have ore from the Mammoth Mine and have looked and held the matchbox made from the ore that reportedly came out from under Jacob's bed and they do not visually look alike.
Thanks Joe! Business is awful slow and I moved my store out of Goldfield GT and into my house.
I will check back from time to time on this forum and if I can add anything I will. Otherwise there are too many "experts" here and I am not a true Dutch Hunter just someone that has a high interest.
Just keep telling your self like Mel Fisher "Today is the day!" I hope one day it will be!
Sorry to hear your business is slow, our's is this time of year also.
I never really looked for the LDM on my own. I was always more interested in Jesuit treasure/Stone Maps/Harry LaFrance Cave of Gold Bars. In the end, they were all tied into one bundle with Adolph Ruth thrown in for good measure.
