Did we find something?

[junglejim]

Found a large "pile of rocks" mound, about 30 to 40' long, maybe 18 or so wide at bottom about 7' tall. Obviously man made. In a remote mountainous area. The area appears to have possibly been an early Spanish mining area. Didn't notice at first but later I noticed while standing back from the mound about 20 feet away on one side of the mound I notuced 7 areas that had different colored rocks in areas that made me think of "windows". Like they were rock made "windows" in the mound. On another trip to the area we probed ome of the "window" sections (carefully) and after several hours we found a map that was sandwiched between 2 rock or metallic disks. The map was extremely fragile. We took several cell phone pictures and very soon afterwards the map disentigrated. After much study of the map we found the location the map was indicating which is about 2 miles NNE of the rock mound. Upon reaching this area we found a natural cave entrance with Spanish symbols and markings on the rock face just outside the cave entrance. We also realized tha it appeared the cave was a den for a mountain lion. We have not yet made any attempts to enter the cave yet but hope to soon. We are very curious about the rock mound and it's overall meaning. We have not yet attempted to probe the other 6 "windows".

I just posted a photo of a rock from the mound, does have bit of gold in it.

Added better view of the distinct areas in the mound that I call "windows".

Its the part where it was sandwiched between 2 rock or metallic disks.

You know, I have seen or heard of something similar to that I can't remember where though but I "not just saying this"perhaps history of ancient Egypt, arg. Either way, this is going to bother me until I remember.

There is a big difference between rocks and metallic discs. No mention of rust. A pic of these unknown sandwich materials would have given us something to search. Without any updates, we have gone about as far as we can go.

Oh I agree on that. I am just personally researching this because I've heard about parchments or maps what have you, sandwiched in between two rocks or metal plates prior as a means of preservation and I just can't remember where It will bother me until I do find it :P

Hey, if I am wrong about this, they can laugh all the way to the bank.

Personally, if I found a map and a chunk o' gold, and hadn't had time to go back, the internet would be the LAST place I would share my info.

Hmmmm.... I don't think he is going to reply again.

I can also tell you that there is nothing of value hidden in the immediate area. I can tell you that because ANYBODY who made the pile would NEVER have made it anywhere near anything valuable, because it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Hmmm.. Didn't the Egyptians build gigantic pyramids and put their treasure in them? What makes you think this wouldn't happen again. I do admit I haven't read too much of this thread but come on.. To say NEVER. Tell that to all the archeologists that have found things from many many different cultures around the world.

There hasn't been enough focus on the cave with the mountain lion. I'd shoot the lion and pocket its treasure before sifting through the rock pile for additional disintegrating maps. Just my two cents.

hmmmm....seems like everyone is thinking the same thing I am.

depending on the area u found it in, it could be a spanish mine and maybe, just mabe it could have relics in it. Keep looking around in that area.Oh by the way, if you are planning on going into the cave it would be best if you brang along a pistol for protection. have fun!

Dang it. After reading all of the posts, and since I'm not familiar with the part of the country ya'll are talking about, I was all ready to read about someone finding the Lost Dutchman in the Superstitions.
I guess that'll hold me for the time being. That is until someone who DOES know the area adds to the posts and tells us all about his new mountain lion rug.
This doesn't have anything to do with this post, but I heard several years ago that corporations were gaining access to old tailing piles in Alaska and with new mining techniques were getting enough gold from the old piles to make it more than profitable because of the increase in gold prices from the Rush to modern time.
I hope I didn't upset or bore anyone too much because I really like reading the posts here that just go to show how much expertise is available to someone.

earth to junglejim.... are you still with us? come in junglelim... do you read me?

I'm back. I know the map thing sounds ? but it is true. The Spanish were there from the many signs and symbols and "bumps" that are in the immediate area.
I only started the post hoping for some intelligent discussion as to what these rock piles "bumps" may mean.

 

[Deftone]

"intelligent discussion. " lol Yeah guys stop asking valid questions. Gosh.

 

[steve71]

dang i dont blame him for not responding.most everybody is trying to disclaim his story instead of telling him hurry and find something and show us some pics.maybe he did find a piece of paper map whatever and it did crumble to nothing.i've found old paper and it disentagrated when i picked it up.he's a metal detector pereson looking for gold dont burst his bubble let him dream.heck let him think he's found some spanish markings.looks like west texas area.

 

[Bonaro]

One of two things here. He is either having the time of his life spinning this story or he wants to find some treasure by having other people do all of the work.

His story has all of the features of a fictional story....the possibility of treasure, lost for ages, vague clues and no proof.

He finds something hid in a obvious location that no one has ever found
The one piece of tangible evidence self destructs (ala mission impossible) leaving nothing to verify.
He offers no images of the spanish markings, cave, rock samples
It's just a game...

Well,If it makes you feel any better lions do not have Lairs..........they might hang out in one for a short time but they dont call any one place home!!!!Also they are to cunning to become cornered,as soon as they hear you(and they will hear you),they would be gone!!!They arent the lions of Tsavo!

 

[trixie charger]

sounds like a National Treasure plot to me, with that said I'm up for a challenge. Anything is possible and can and does happen all the time.
