KVM gave us the key to finding the LUE. I=eye, A=shadow marker, Y=arroyo, M=treasure room. Not seeing much of that here.
Maybe I've just missed it.
I for one am glad it has finally been solved. I went nuts for years studying that dang map from every angle!
"I Am Yours And You Are Mine"
Mike, what's your take on the LUE ? You've done a lot of real research into the history of Church & Conquest in the Americas - have you seen anything in archive texts or field discoveries that would support the idea of mammoth-sized caches of gold and\or silver ingots buried in the present-day SW of USA?
The only primary source material I've seen is what's printed by KVM and it's full of contradictions and references to older books and newspaper articles and past events (like the FBI supposedly soliciting the public's help by printing the map in newspapers) that no one has ever been able to track or pin down.. perhaps the only exception being The Scarlett Shadow book by Walter Hurt. KVM refers to the LUE as one of the great treasure legends of the Americas if not The Greatest... yet there are no similar treasure legends I've heard of where people pull lumps of gold out of the ground like they're potato farmers.
What say you ?
To fly is heavenly but to hover is divine.I have no particular opinion of KVM, other than the fact that he made his money writing books. Like the Lost Dutchman books, all BS. I didn't know about the map KVM had of the so called LUE. Long after I found this Eagle site, I got a copy and began working it out, when I realized it fit this site. The only treasure sites you will find in a book are either already plundered of don't exist at all. I never went by anything in a book. I packed through mountain ranges and started finding the signs. First I would buy helicopter time and look at it from the air. There are a few pilots that will drop you but they are few and far between. That's the only, best way to do it. Books? I saw an old Lost Dutchman Book in the second hand store the other day. I perused it a bit. All crap. Not even worth the $2.00
I daydream about moving out West and exploring the countryside and the reason I love this website is you guys sharing stories, photos, and your thoughts sates the spirit, so to speak. Thanks
Anyways, I got Randy’s latest Exanimo Presents book which seems to contain the most info about this “LUE”. I think he makes it clear, reading between the lines, that its located in the North of Santa Fe -> Southern Colorado border region and he also wrote that the 1930’s saw the largest rush of LUE treasure hunters looking in Segundo, Weston, and Trinidad.
Digging through local newspapers of that era is a challenge because, as has been discussed many times here, the 1930’s saw a huge explosion of lost gold treasure & lost gold mine stories in print circulation.
They don't hover. Not the choppers I have taken. We had one sound the alarm so we had to go way lower, drop my partner and his gear then drop me up high. The chopper then went down and picked him back up and brought him up. I don't trust them. One we took sounded like it would fall apart at any minute. I think that's why I feel older than my years. I have been scared SH#@$less a few times. Not to mention the hike out. Like I have said before, Google Earth is a valuable tool but it will get you dead in serious situations. Giant boulders and steep ravines don't quite show up as well on GE as when you are staring there in awe.
Oh that's right, KVM found it. Well, he knew then.
