I will say I read the entire article on the trail markers and signs, and it was so fastenating I told my wife I'm now a hermit gold digger ;iving in the desert and I need to buy a donkey. That said any links to threads I missed for the topics below would be incredibly helpful.
1. Is there a thread for New-to-hunting, treasure hunters for a check list of tools and minimum equipment for going after Spanish treasure in the desert? Like 30 feet down doesn't seem like a pick axe and. pry-bar and, shovel would do. What about excavators and stuff outside metal detectors and a pick axe and shovel? Unless your going for sneak in and out.
2. And a thread for an idea of whats illegal for actually digging and, obtaining and, selling possible treasures? Common sense says no private land unless permission. But what about state or federal, bml land etc?
3. Thread for hints for safety while digging up the desert in area's that have a lot of illegals heading in from borders? Vehicle parking, guns. edit: I think I understand who sentinels are. They may or may not be a negative depiction of someone, and they may or may not be part of an organization. And maybe we all are sentinels. I'm not going to worry about who they are, or if anyone calls me one, because when it comes down to it, if your approached while out in the middle of nowhere, you may already be in trouble regardless if they're sentinels.
Thank you so much! Apologies if I missed these threads in my searches. I have the itch so bad. I've hunted these mountains my entire life (food hunting), and have seen thousands of markers. A friend and I followed Spanish trails marks until we can see they went miles across the Mexican border. Now I'm retired and have the hours and time needed to finally go back.
