Well I am no expert, in fact most of you have forgotten more than I know about this stuff, but I think it all is quite fascinating.
Further were I to actually find anything of realistic value....
Only an idiot would go around with photos, bragging and literally inviting the government to step in and seize your find. Think not have a look at some of the story's in such publications as Lost Treasure, Western Treasures, or Treasure found. Person finds something of value, be it gold, silver, something old or even a rock such as a meteorite, they go very public, government steps in and finds excuse to take.
Heck even the gal that messed up with the Gold (look in the treasure in the news section) coins her dad had. She is battling the government for their return, and the Feds have a very weak case at best, but she is presently embroiled in a one sided argument that the Feds refuse to loose, and they hold all the cards (unlimited legal counsel, the judges, time, and if they loose, will appeal until the family dies off)....
So as along as the photos keep coming in, and the story's told, nothing of import has been found, but when they go silent.... BINGO!
So although some of the stuff posted may look like mumbo jumbo to some like me, it is significant to them and may just lead to something of value, (if you don't look you will never find) so if they go silent.......
