[ZombieKnot]

Got a good friend that way tells stories of locals(native to america) being forced out by military, when first used, and leaving active working mines behind. Anyone hear the same?

Back on Feb. 5th 2020 I was escorted into the restricted area of the white sands missile range. I meet up with an escort at a Altus gas station just outside of Alamogordo, New Mexico and she took me about 67 miles to the mountain range you can see in the far distant in the only photo I was allowed to take at the gate. I was there to visit a mining contractor who were drilling and blasting this very large tunnel. They told me the tunnel was be escavated to test these bunker buster bombs, called something like a massive air blast bomb. It would be dropped on top of the area the tunnel was below and the force of the blast would be directed all the way down into the tunnel below. The concussion within the tunnel would kill anyone who would find themselves in such and underground bunker or thats what the military was seeing if they could achieve. After I was done with my meeting I was then escorted to a pretty out of the way un-guarded locked gate that put me just south of the town of Carrizozo, New Mexico. Within that whole area of the missile range is like a real no-man's land. However I did see some what looked like old smaller mine tailings in that mountain range as we approached closer to them.

I was detecting the chocolate and trigo mountains for the Duesen family claims way back, when the Gold Bug first came out, and my guide, Mr. Bluefeather told of having to leave his home as a kid while the guys in uniform packed their belongings into trucks. His father reassured him the ton of rough refined silver at the back of their 11 house village mine was safe and they were going to get their land back after the war was over. The people back then feared gov't because assay forms back then had a space for "location of claim", that had to be filled in to get paid. No one had claims; they just worked together and shared the wealth, and kept quiet around strangers. The silver was sold to tribal HOPI jewelers mostly. He talked about all his class mates telling the gov't teacher they were cactus hunters and had to leave early sometimes, then go and collect scrub to burn for refining. His stories much more detailed than here(WINK, WINK).

GREAT story with references. for that i tell the name of area of mining. they lived in WAHMONIE (SP?). Need old map to look it up but thats the name came out of his mouth. you younger folks got a place to research and see. He also said rattle snakes were everywhere. Happy Trails.
