Bill - many members here have been to the pit mine. If my "source" gave me inaccurate information - I would have been called out already.
Further - I've met with this gentleman and have photos of him standing at the location. I have 100% trust in what I've seen.
If you don't - that's okay! Go film a video and prove us all wrong. It's not hard. You only need a cell phone that does video - just like what I do
Howdy Ryan,
It seems to me that you were influenced by your source on this one. I don't know what your objective was, whether to prove, debunk, or find the truth. If your objective was to find the truth, it did seem one sided with the choice of clues. You see, not every hole in the ground is a cache hole, and the mountains are full of ridges. Dog ears, like hearts are found everywhere, but to be honest with you, I don't know where the dog ear, and white mountain clues come from, in other words they are not well known Dutchman clues. The horse's head came from Julia's map I believe. The gun sight clue is not a Dutchman clue at all.
The gun sight clue was the idea of David Leach, it was what he believed Waltz's sketch to mean. David believed it was what one could see from the mine, but this is not so. Waltz said you had to climb a ways to see Weavers Needle to the South. Even if David was right, the highest point on Weaver's Needle is on the wrong side on his gun sight clue.
If you are after the truth, ask yourself if these well known Dutchman clues that describe the LDM, fit the Pit Mine:
Is the Pit Mine within five miles from Weaver's Needle?
Can you see Four Peaks Mountain to the North where the peaks look like one from the Pit Mine?
Do you have to climb a ways to see Weaver's Needle to the South from the Pit Mine?
Can you see the Military trail from the Pit Mine?
Is there a hideout cave 200 feet from the Pit Mine?
Is the Pit mine on a 12 foot ledge?
Can you reach the Pit mine only from the side, and not from above, or below?
It's not about taking sides, it's about finding the truth.
