I had forgotten about this ordeal, Gary said they used a cart designed by Sebastian Copeland to haul out the buckets. If he can submit a photograph of himself, and one of his partners harnessed to the cart it may be worth it. I don't think Mr. Copeland would go with a team yoke, he would more than likely have them looking through some mini horse collars.

Howdy Alan M,
Those look more like small ravines, but then I'm not a miner. The LDM however is supposed to be high on a mountain, not that close to ground level.

I have never seen a series of parallel ravines adjacent to a cliff face.
but who knows, there are a lot of strange things in those mountains
best regards

Where is the giant quartz vein my profile pic shows it next to the dots.

This is what a typical mine dump looks like, all from one hole
in my previous pic, there are a number of piles which appear to have been dumped from the top of the cliff being transported from the mine being at a different location.
just a thought.

A series of parallel ravines adjacent to a cliff face are typically caused by a geological process known as "gully erosion" or "rill erosion." This type of erosion occurs when runoff water accumulates and concentrates along the base of the cliff, gradually carving out multiple parallel channels or ravines.
There are several factors that contribute to the formation of these ravines:
There are several factors that contribute to the formation of these ravines:
- Topography: If the cliff face is situated on a sloping landscape, water runoff from higher elevations will naturally flow downward, concentrating along the cliff base. This concentrated water flow is more erosive than a broad sheet of water runoff, leading to the formation of parallel ravines.
- Crevices and Joint Patterns: The presence of cracks, crevices, or joint patterns in the cliff face can influence the development of parallel ravines. These natural openings provide pathways for water to seep into and erode the underlying rocks, creating channels that subsequently extend parallel to each other.
- Differential Rock Resistance: The cliff face may consist of different types of rocks or layers with varying resistance to erosion. Some rocks may be more resistant, while others are more easily eroded. When water runoff encounters different rock types or layers, it can exploit the weaker ones, leading to the formation of parallel ravines.
- Seasonal or Intense Rainfall: In areas with seasonal or intense rainfall, the volume and velocity of runoff water increase, promoting the development of parallel ravines. This high-energy flow concentrates along the cliff face, carving out multiple channels over time.
- Vegetation Patterns: The presence or absence of vegetation can influence the erosion process. In areas with sparse vegetation or bare soils, water runoff is not absorbed or slowed down as effectively, leading to a higher erosive potential. This accelerates the formation of parallel ravines.

I started researching this mine a year ago and figured out where it is, im really amazed that know else has figured out the puzzle.

Not as amazed as I am that you almost spit that out
Wow, old thread. I remember when this was a hot one, then they said they were faked, but transferred from a real map that possibly led to a real treasure. Here`s some stuff I found, might not be anything but it`s fun to try and decipher them, then go and hike to the spot and see what`s there. On the trail map the numbers in the heart, 18, 47, 10 a triangle and a bullseye. The numbers aren`t a date but a distance in miles. I figure that the priest on the four blocks is a representation of 4Peaks Mountain, I go 18 places. Using google earth using the tools feature, measure with a circle from Browns Peak out 18 miles and save it. So what would be 47 miles away, maybe old Pheonix? What could be 10 miles out? You guessed it, where the stone were found by Queen Creek near the bridge on Hwy 60. All this would put you up on Coffee Flat, just east of a peak with a hole in it, Miners Needle. Remember the shape of Miners Needle I took and posted on here, same shape is on the trail on the stones. Oh yeah, the outline of Coffee Flat happens to be in the shape of a big heart when observing above using GE. Remember that Doodle that Waltz drew on his death bed? Same view can be seen from where the 3 circles converge up on CF where cowboy Robles said he saw Waltz climbing up. So, somebody knew where something was, but it`s long gone. But maybe they left you a nugget for your troubles.

Super Dangerous your on the right track though.
Been up there a couple of times already. Didn’t feel dangerous, except maybe that mountain lion at Whiskey Spring. Oooo oooo that smell!

The priest is exactly how I got to my pic with the three red hills. To the right of those hills is the waltz mine the top of the two white dots is the entrance and horizontally you can see the large quartz vines. Yes to get in that cave you have to get in there coming through the top with deadly consequences if you fall.
Try using 4 Peaks Mnt. into your equation of the pr
I think that the priest is a representation of 4 Peaks

The priest is a bruja which rhymes with brucula it's a Spanish word. Brucula is a compass, it's a map and not a riddle.

At least that's how I got to the pic I posted awhile back.
At least that is how I got to the pic with the three hills and huge quartz vein. Heck anyone can be right though it's all guessing. I doubt I'll ever go there.
You should go there, I remember my 1st time in the Superstition Mountains. I felt like Braveheart after he won in battle.

Which 4 peaks? Those with Brown, or the ones that line up in front of them viewed from the park?
Browns Peak, 18 mi. to Coffee Flat

What is the name of the smaller 4 that line up when viewed from the park?
