Well amigo I don't get a chance to be online every day, especially not during the warm months (much "w-o-r-..." that has to get done while the weather allows, as you know only too well on the farm) so I apologize for not getting a reply out to your question as quickly as might have been preferred. I do not know for an absolute FACT exactly where Chicomoztoc is, but my money is on Utah. (You know why too amigo, and I thank you again.) A key to the location is in that codex which shows Chicomoztoc and the Aztecs leaving it, I think we covered it before but that key does fit with a location in Utah, and you know what Dillmans found there too.

if it is the purity and these two sample match then i would have proff of finding the sorce of waltz's gold ore ...even if the ore sample changes the purity of the gold would not right
You are correct, even if the gold amount in your sample is quite small, the 'fineness' (purity) would be identical to that of Waltz,
if they come from the same ore vein. You also know that in all gold mines, regardless of how good the miners were at efficiently extracting the gold,
some minor amounts remain that can prove the mine was a gold mine - so yes an assay would either prove or disprove that the ore sample was from the same vein as Waltz's. I have mentioned this to some of our other fellow members here on T-net; and it is just my personal opinion - but I do NOT need to see huge stacks of gold bars, gigantic nuggets etc to convince me that a gold mine is a gold mine, but I DO need to see some gold. Even quite small amounts, which the old timers used to call "showings" that is ore that is far too poor to make it worth mining profitably,
can still prove that it was a gold mine, especially considering that the old-timers usually tried to work only the very richest ore (considering their available tools and technology, it was the sensible thing to do) and LEFT the less-rich ore. I know several fellows who have bought old "played out" mines that had been worked over in the 1890's and again in the 1930's, but with today's technology and equipment they are making a living working the tailings of those old mines. Anyway I respectfully disagree on this point amigo, I think that
having the tests done would be helpful to you, even if only a "small" way in regards to Chicomoztoc, it is in a BIG way when we are talking about the lost Sombrero or lost Dutchman gold mines. One more thing but it would not be a huge surprise if some arsenic did turn up in the ore samples, it is geologically natural to occur with silver especially. As you have also mentioned, the amount that could be 'lethal' to one person might not be enough to bother another person much - so your reported symptoms could be due to arsenic. I don't think it is arsenic toxicity causing those symptoms, but I am not a doctor either.
On the other hand, if the ore samples should test out not to show gold or no arsenic, what does that tell you? It does tell you something amigo, and it does not mean that the site is not Chicomoztoc, only that the samples do not show it to have been a gold mine, (if there is no gold) or in the case of arsenic, it would allow you to look for other causes to those symptoms felt when in close proximity to the site and the ore itself. See what I mean though, to some folks the idea of fire-assays and spectrographic tests is so much mumbo-jumbo, but in geology it is very helpful. I have had a number of them done over the years, and every single test was helpful to me, both in ruling out particular minerals and sites, and in locating where the richest place to mine was. Besides, even if you must pay for them -
it is tax-deductible expenses for a prospector or treasure-hunter!

If it were myself, having made such discoveries, I would happily take advantage of the offers of our amigo Cubfan, to run a few tests on the ore samples for free (gratis).
You stand to lose NOTHING in having the tests run, except a little time while they are done, and the information is certain to be of some use to you.

you got to amit you had as much funny make fun of that crazy bowman as the rest of them .... LOL
I respectfully disagree amigo, and have not intentionally made fun of you in my posts as far as I know. If any of my posts do have such,
I will be happy to delete them as no offense was ever intended.

As far as any one in here, except for that would be cowboy, joe, dejuisy, cubber, springfield, cat, prong our two golddiggers, and on, I doubt that anyone else is interested in stealing your site or announcing it first.
HAY now amigo I told you,
I have no intentions of becoming a career-bovine-wrangler!

Just filling in until the real thing can be found.

(Seems real cowboys are a little scarce, even in this country.)
Good luck and good hunting to you all, I hope you find the treasures that you seek.
your friend,
