I personally think that you and dave are much funnier than Wayne and I...But who can say for certain...

What, what, what, what? Have all the LDM hunters gone to the mountains and left their children in charge of TNET? I can't remember the name of this thread. It is not the LDM SO PZZZZZZT!
 

Maybe a new record for a single thread though.
1511 posts on 101 pages.......
I'm still sure they got it all wrong, but the Pit Mine has certainly been a hot topic on this board.
Obviously, there are plenty of folks interested in the whether or not aspects of the story as it has been spun so far.

Posters are continuing to engage the trolls despite my suggestion to just ignore them, resulting in all this back and forth bickering that's cluttering up this thread and making it hard to have an interesting discussion.

Oro I agree, the old German/Frisian might be a major clue to track down who wrote it...or kept it for "safekeeping"...assuming manuscript is in Spanish, dying (pun intended) to find out, Deducer, what is your assessment of the manuscript in general? I.E. is the paper/ink it's written with what you would expect, any clues in the "vernacular" of the document that might give you an idea of same, etc. Good posts gents, out the door to go sledding in the woods up on the St. Lawrence...been looking forward to it...happy Sunday!

Jim,

I have been given permission to post excerpts from the manuscript, it was apparently written by Andy Syndbad, and is based on an oral recounting he received in 1953. But until the discussion returns to topic, I have no interest in contributing further.

Dave,

Andy Syndbad is interesting. Probably be a good idea to ask Tom Kollenborn about him, as he knew him. The stories that seem to touch on him are strange to say the least.

Take care,

Joe

Ahhhh...thanks Deducer...for some reason I had assumed that the manuscript was something you or a friend had dug out of some Spanish archive, or received from an old Spanish or Mexican family. Still, very interesting.

Thanks Dave...I guess the old German Syn Doad (vice Sein Tod) was a reference to Herman's death, maybe something he told Andy Synbad in the months leading up to his death? (Synbad...hmmm...was that a real name? Not sure what "his bath" would have to do with anything tho:tongue3:)

Something tells me this might be old news in the DH community...even so, for those of us that have never heard of it, it's very interesting...Thanks Gents...Jim

EDIT: (I was wondering what you knew about this Joe...was writing this while you posted above about TK...thanks)

jim...andy was german and he spoke german so him and herman got along right off the bat....herman told andy everything he knew before he died (not just the spewl that he gave the tourist's but the facts as he knew them)...he also told andy that he passed this info onto him because andy never asked him what the dutchman said...everyone else that showed up at hermans place was only there to learn what herman knew....not to visit herman so he fed them full of b.s...andy was his friend and helped herman alot so he repaid andy and passed the torch before he died

Andy probably knew that Waltz died before Herman came down from Montana. Don't believe Waltz could have told him anything.

Take care,

Joe
