Wow, 50-years Joe?! That's a long time to come up completely empty isn't it? I think you illustrate perfectly my "theory" that the LDM is nothing but air, and a darn good way to separate greenhorns from their hard earned money.
I'm not insulting you or anyone else. I am very tired however, of the same bad information and speculation being parroted over the internet and in books sold by modern day snake oil dealers.
There are people that make their living off of this legend. Some of them are actual believers and I feel sorry for them. As for the others, all I feel is disdain because in my mind they are con-artists preying on the hopes and dreams of greenhorns.
Terry,
Actually, it's 54 years. Try to pay attention.
As I have said many times before, I never searched for the LDM....on my own. On the other hand, I have assisted others in their own searches.
I don't make money off of other people's dreams of finding lost mines or treasures. In fact, I have sent out a great deal of material at no cost.....not even shipping. You are the one who takes money from people for (leading) them in their hopes of finding something.
"As for the others, all I feel is disdain because in my mind they are con-artists preying on the hopes and dreams of greenhorns."
That comment is much closer to what you do, than anything I have ever done. Each year, for the last seven, I have provided food and water to the people who come to the Dutch Hunter's Rendezvous to share their knowledge and experience with others. I spent over $1000 each year and never charged a penny.
I assume you have donated just as much time and money to the treasure hunters who have come your way looking for help.
