Hah? Sort of a DARK prediction there my friend! Passing by a gravesite is not the same as digging it out and pilfering whatever is found, and our mutual amigo Blindbowman is very respectful of ancient gravesites –
I have the strongest doubts that Blindbowman would do anything whatsoever to disturb or molest the gravesite of anyone, whether Amerindian or otherwise. I rather doubt that most of our fellow members here on T-net would choose to go out and loot a grave, of course not including myself!

(Yes I have
accidentally dug up a coffin on more than one occasion, but took nothing and reported it, besides re-covering it.)

Hmm, at last you are willing to ADMIT IT!

hee hee - oh heck I guess I have to admit, being English/Irish/German in ancestry myself is perhaps some type of predeliction to 'bull-headed' treasure hunting...but I see it as a strength, not a hindrance. Diligence frequently results in reward
$$$$$$ after all!!!

i plan to release the location to 3 reporters over the phone
I hope and suggest that you will re-examine your decision to do this my friend, as it will only lead to a “rush” to the site and could lead to much disturbance/destruction of the site. I understand your desire to share your discoveries and to prove your theories, but hope that you will not release the exact site to the general public for the reasons mentioned. Don't be discouraged or dissuaded from your quest mi amigo, remember some folks do get jealous if they think someone else is about to make a great and/or financially rewarding discovery so will say about anything to try to make you quit.
In short mi amigo Blindbowman, even though you may find me questioning your evidence and/or theories and disagreeing more than once, I still hope that you
will continue the quest and will eventually publish your adventures and discoveries or even if you find nothing. After all it is the hunt not the dollars that is the true "treasure" you gain, and that is something that cannot be taken away from you. "
You can take glory with you." (quote from Errol Flynn as Custer in 'They Died With Their Boots On' {1941})
Good luck and good hunting to you all, I hope that you find the treasures that you seek.
your friend,
Oroblanco
