I live in southern New Mexico and my former neighbor (I have since moved) is an Archeologist and worked for the company that monitored the digging of Victorio Peak by the Noss Partnership in the 1980's. By the terms of the contract with the U.S. Govt a licensed Archeologist had to be on site the entire time they were working. They had a big vaccum cleaner that sucked all the dirt out of the collapsed area.
They did find a few small tools that dated to the time of Doc Noss and some writings on the cave walls. I asked him if the treasure was still there and he replied that whatever was there is long gone as the amount of Heavy Equipment work was extreme. The Noss Partnership ran out of money and the digging had to stop before they a) reached the bottom where the cave is and b) the time alloted in the contract to dig had been used up. If they had raised more funds the answer to the treasure may have been finally answered.
He has a permit that allows him to explore without an escort on the Missle Range. The Govt doesn't want to find human remains found in the middle of a strategic weapons construction project so they have him check the sites out. He has travelled up & down the Missle Range for years.
Another friend was involved in the capture of Big Horn Sheep in the San Andreas Mountains. They had scabies and all were captured and treated to avoid extinction there. He said the same thing to me about the amount ofHeavy Equipment usage all around Victorio peak. Some of the locals believe President Kennedy, who visited WSMR in the early 60's may have taken it then and that is possibly why he was killed.
Anyway, just wanted to share some of what the locals have seen and heard.
