well said GODEEP !!!!!
I love all of those topics but we know the Oak Island Guys or the Aztec gold guy have found something when we read about it long ahead of the episode. š
Thanks Eyemust! Am watching now. They blasted into a vertical shaft, but we do not know yet what is in it. One blast went through the wall. The guys in firepit did find a vault, but it was empty.
Tend to agree. Oak Island more likely to find something, something huge happened there an amazing amount of work for what reason? And with ancient technology. Indeed think GoldRush pays $100K a year for even the non-stars on show.
See you are likely into old west. My Great Grand Father was Charles N. Crewdson, as I child he shined Jesse and Frank James boots the day before Russleville bank robbery, not knowing who they were until he saw the wanted posters. He sold cowboy hats via train to old west mining camps stores in late 1800s. He then became maybe the main newspaper writer on Indians. Here is one story he wrote.
Yes, and the water demand for all those animals not to mention the huge manpower- in the DESERTā¦!IF, Montezuma's treasure did exist, and was as massive as legend says, it would of taken an Army of people and animals to move it. Moving thru the (at that time) fast wilderness of N. America ,inhabited only by native tribes.
Such a mass movement would surly of drawn the attention of the locals.
Thanks! Actually, I do love the history of the west. One of my favorite historical figures is Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce. Another one is the Kid I use for my avatar.
You hit the nail on the head, my friend. All the guys on these shows have found incredible treasure. It's just that the treasure is on a rectangular piece of paper with odd numbers on them. Many of those numbers are to the left of a strange dot preceded by two zeroes. I don't think we'll ever solve this mystery.
I've worked on a few History Channel Shows back when they actually aired History related programing. I'm not sure how Ice Truckers fits into that business model but they're going to produce shows that generate big money and big ratings. I can assure you, you're right. The producers likely held an open call for people that were into modern prospecting - whether or not they're actually successful prospectors is irrelevant, they're looking for people who are most likely to be dramatic. It's a lot like Pro Wrestling. They need a heel, and a crybaby and a good guy, etc. These characters are making more money than they ever have or will as prospectors. I just hope they don't blow it all when the show's get cancelled. As far as those brothers who are doing nothing more but destroying Oak Island, they won't be finding that treasure. I've been following the Oak Island story since I was a kid in the 70's. I learned about it watching In Search Of. I believe they're are two simple answers that are probably equally plausible: they either was no treasure ( all of those claims about the artifacts that have been pulled out of the pit, like the stone with carvings on it, have never actually been seen. There's no proof they ever existed. My other theory - and I hope I'm right about it because as treasure hunter, I want there to be a treasure there -Is that somebody with the good since to keep his trap shut found it long ago.
I've been meaning to reply to you for months but my aunt got sick and the only people who could (or would is more accurate) was my mother and myself. As I said, I do find the history of the Old West incredibly compelling but I actually didn't care anything about that part of American History until I moved to Los Angeles for a year and made the cross county trek in a car back and forth several times. I was amazed every time I made the trip. I live in South Carolina so It's not like I'm unfamiliar with buildings dating back to the 1700s but I thought it was really cool that every once in while driving in the most deserted parts of the country, I would notice old abandoned homesteader cabins that had to date back to the the 1870s. Just off the highway in the middle of a sandbox, slowly collapsing. Very cool if you ask me.
