With all due respect - but your 'Will post more later', don't bother - we've seen enough.

Yes Kofa is wide open. But it seems the info that you have posted does put you in Kofa, you are further north. Am I wrong ?

Notice a trend in every single one of these "I found the lost ______". Everyone claims to have found it, but never once, I mean not even once, have they ever provided a photo of the actual treasure in their possession. Sea scan of sunken ship or train "I found the lost Nazi gold" Aerial views of some mountains, "I found the lost Aztec Gold". Ground Scan, "I found the lost buried payroll gold". Picture of a mine shaft, "I found the lost ____ mine."
You can't claim to have found anything until you are actually at the site, with witnesses, with well documented and verified photo's of the treasure itself and peer review by experts of said treasure to verify it. Until that time, you can only claim to thinking you may have found it.
We all anxiously await those photo's of the rich gold veins and nuggets and peer review verification. Trust me, we all want you to succeed.

Those pics (IMO) don't show gold. That is not typically how gold is formed. The Superstition Mountains were formed tens of millions of years ago when the three volcanic calderas that make up the range puked out several hundred feet of NON-MINERALIZED Dacite and Basalt. Volcanically heated mineralized water forced its way towards the surface. As it got further from the heat source and started to cool, the mineral crystals began to form in what are called intrusive veins (i.e. quartz). Different minerals cool differently and are placed in suspension at different temperatures, that is how you get certain mineral veins at common depths, and its also how (say for instance gold) will form at one depth in a lens rather than ten feet deeper or ten feet shallower. Its all about content and temperature. Then you get 50 million years of wind and water erosion, as well as landslides and earthquakes that in some instances have exposed the mineralized ground under the Dacite/Basalt as well as some of the intrusive gold bearing veins of quartz, hematite, diorite, schist, gneiss, and whatever other minerals happen to carry gold there. Jacob Waltz said his mine had an 18 inch wide vein of rose and white quartz that had about 30% gold content. Right next to it was an 8 or 9 inch wide vein of soft dark gray rock (probably Hematite) which also contained about 30% gold in wheat kernel sized nuggets you could dig out with a knife.
Your spot doesn't look gold bearing, nor does it look anything like Waltz's Description. If your ore doesn't look like this:
