Looks like there may be a little silver. The Pitt mine silver ore looks like that.

thank you frank. if it is silver there must be a reason why someone didnt take it. there have to be something more of value.

bill. yes the second building was hit by wind. its that building id shown the pics with the tanks.

Hi Ho Silver! Away! The Lone Ranger!

A lot of ore bodies were forgotten or left alone because of the low values of the matrix. Believe it or not many mines even gold mines shut down in the early 1960's when the price of Dynamite went up!

I met a man once that used to help cobble gold from the ore his family mined near an old Cabin they built in the Tortilla Mountains just south of the Gila River along the old Florence highway (Dirt Road). He said the vein was 4 inches thick and ran fairly solid with gold but Dynamite prices forced them to abandon the underground mine at about 80 feet. Most mines in Arizona hit water at about 200 feet so this mne still has potential. Only problem is it's over thirty years old so the powerful idiots in charge of the Gobberment say it's an antiquity and you can't mine the same shaft.

I have a picture of the old family car they left behind.

Notice the bullet holes in one above. I believe it was used by Bonnie and Clyde Barrow of Travis Tumlinson fame. You get the drift the cabin was used until they left in the early 1960's because of the price of explosives. Or Bullets for that matter they used a lot shooting at their own car!

My new plain has changed things I have to go to friends house on one side of Mountain to look after her horses for 3 weeks last time she left them 1 horse got damaged for life with its leg the other horse got rattlesnake bit in the face she will leave for Illinois for 3 weeks then when she comes back I'm going to another friend's house for 2 months there mountain is full of garnets one side of the mountain is being mined heavily but these two ladies don't know that they own that side of the mountain which is nice because she's giving me an acre that will give me time to explain to her that that side of mountain is hers right along with the 83 Acres that she does know she owns she has to leave for a while back to Florida they're are on a well so then I can start with the gold that I have found and maybe get some relief with money soon .my boss does not want me to quit she wants me to keep going because she does not have a replacement for me which is nice because it's only 2 days a week and that leaves me time to get more gold and it also leaves me time to get better at my little videos and that gives me more time for the rattlesnakes to go into hibernation which my next video should show me getting gold out of a place where there should be gold long winded me


anyways

If you would have read dr. Thorpe's diary you would have seen that he ran into the Dutchman and his wife as they were fleeing from Apaches when her tongue got cut off and she died on the scene dr. Thorpe tried to help if you would have read the diary from the man that found the silver mine

that started tombstone the fat opera singer that owned a bar in Tombstone found what was called the freedom mine that one has been closed down a long time due to a water break many were killed
