RD,
Most of us are pretty sure that Bob Schoose has been part of a team that found treasure in the Superstitions. I believe New Mexico is a smoke screen.

ps,the stone markers were replaced by someone.
and how good it taste, I agree 100%, I assume the same about all markers, thanks,np
Don Jose - excellent point. All too often many (or most) of us today seem to forget that we are not exactly the first treasure hunters to come down the pike. Many have been out there ahead of us, in some cases by the thousands, destroying what may have been important markers, maps, and documents, after memorizing the info, collecting maps and documents that were avalable then but have today vanished and of course making fake markers. I have it on good authority, as an example, that in 1950 there were a grand total of exactly two sunburst markers in the Superstition mountains, and as of two years ago, there are over thirty of them. Earlier treasure hunters often did not want any competitors to find what they had found. Even the cactus with the markers in it, famous in LDM lore, is long gone today. But new marks have sure appeared, running trails through the mountains.
Another problem is that we as treaure hunters usually leap to the conclusion that a found trail marker, MUST therefore be a treasure trail marker! This is not necessarily the case - they can be just a trail marker, a way to find water or a good camp site, or simply a way out or across the land. Stacked stone markers are very often mining claim markers, as this is (and was) a common legal way to mark your corner monuments.
Good luck and good hunting amigos, I hope you find the treasures that you seek. By all means, do continue.

nothing better than coffee in the morning,(hows your thought process this fine day) lets explore a possibility , a long time ago there used to be two stone markers at west boulder canyon,what if these two markers contained the original information that's on the stone tablets,what if at one time a cowboy was riding through that area came across the two markers and discovered this information inside the markers and destroyed the markers, what if this cowboy went back to the ranch were he worked and pondered what to do with it, maybe he couldn't figure out there meaning,then transferred the information on to stone tablets for better effect,then sold them, just a thought,np
this morning, just speculating ,but, I wonder who could have went back and rebuilt the monuments, did they put them back in the same spot,why put them back at all, and what about the cowboy,i wonder what ever became of him, have all the tablets been made public?np
springfield, where are the original LDM clues?, that's a very good question,not more books on hearsay,non verifiable statements,seems like everyone in the state was at the death bed of Jacob waltz,if you listen to all these eye witnesses accounts,i think at the time they bussed more people in for his death,are there any old collectable bus tickets.np
