The vault would have been some type of wooden crate with a internal constructed concrete liner with possible booby trapped

Maybe sit your ass down and do a little reading on what can be said regarding a member.

RED COAT 😃 huh! well around here in Kings mountain NC we don't listen to British opinion we traditionally split your head open with Tomahawks

No actually you way above me. Reason being I won't waist my life chasing a ghost.
Some do, and I tip my hat to those like you.
Your certainly on a quest and that is above me and my humble endeavors it seems.

Look pepper 🌶 jack it's already gone , gone been gone where the dry creek bed is which is actually the ore car path , it's squared out 6 feet wide obviously a ore car path..there a culvert with gravel...you could drive a truck right up 25 feet from the portal ...whatever the amount was , the large deposit it's gone noway it's there . 1920 this property was sold and split up it's gone ...maybe I have a chance at something smaller left behind a decoy stash otherwise I not going in that mine ...but mineral rights on property maybe the KGC stopped the plans for a second civil war in 1916 ...its been removed...what you were saying i have already been through in the beginning....one entrance is open looks like cave and the other oddly enough is covered with garbage...from the 1920s...don't worry about it, its gone ,been gone

I have no hard feelings towards no pepper 🌶 jack ...

Unless there was a decoy treasure at the entrance and they took that and were done no way to tell without going in , looking at the type rail installed maybe a clue how rich the mine was , if treated timbers or alot of strap rail instead of regular rail shows it might have not been so profitable....but you would have to go in and look to see if a drift was blasted shut with rail going under the blast fill to cover the real amount whatever that is...also there's a cavern system with a think a dome room ,or a what they call a ball room maybe in there but again thats speculation...but a map to something else maybe but again above a 80 foot water fall near by is a rock face looks like a Indian and a cave near it ...it was a state park sense the 1970s and isn't anymore it's private property it's gone already, I believe thats why the Indian and lizard was on the tree speaking about that place possibly...I use to hike to it as a kid but never dreamed anything was there ...

My father, my uncle both army engineers and I was in construction for years so I joined the site 2 days ago doesn't mean I was born 2 days ago 😀 but there are several crosses on the tree indicates each one a mine ...it was one gigantic property at one time now its split up ...So who knows, the symbols on the tree were accurate it was there ..but the major part gone ...13.8 million in gold and silver left Richmond and disappeared....50 kegs of Mexican silver royales, some British sterling silver coins and by the time Jeff Davis got Washington Georgia he only had 35,000 left so where did it go ...back in ground in the first gold rush of North Carolina mines dug between 1803-1838...they were already in place and most were secret...So some mines were 200 years old not a safe place at all and collapsed in areas surely...or booby trapped so IDK the big stuff is too dangerous without lots of money and equipment...

You quoted and started throwing out shit.

Sorry you also are confused as I have no powers in banning anything.
I do have the ability as you to hit a ignore button.

watch your mouth with me.

For that I'll just 🤣

Welcome to Trash Ya Net Maj.Mcknight and dz302 you have to get past the "Gate Keepers" to get to the treasure hunters that really care on here, good luck with that very few left they were out of here long time ago.

A harrow tine sweep is a sensitive item to use as a marker. One horse step and it is turned.

Hidden vaults need little for their hider to locate.
Given the ease with which a septic tank lid can be located after the tank it self is located by a complete stranger to the site by probing ...You're making a lot of work with your imagination regarding any need for markers. Let alone numerous ones..

Post up some of the guns you recovered as locators.
Meanwhile there ain't nothin goin on but the rent. And a harrow tine.
( A harrow tine on a former ag. site? )

The second rule of compass use after never putting one near or on a microwave , is to keep it away from metal objects.

Calm down and sample the alleged vault site.
Excavate all contrasting fill from the adjacent area as in an outhouse dig and take some measurements.
Being you declared concrete the capacity of the wooden pully would be exceeded without much of a vault for weight.
But let's see what you have for a vault first. Not a cistern. Not a privy pit. Not a cellar. Not a silo base.

The why and where of a treasure vault can be discussed later.

Cache valley was aptly named for the numerous cache makers and retrievers.
How many markers are needed to locate an existing cache but not attract anyone else's notice? None is best.
IF you are finding "someone's "locater/sign" , someone messed up!
