ONE OF SWIFT'S MINES FOUND!!!!!

The mine found was probably one of the first ones Swift mined before he moved onto the easier and richer mines. I found it, going by an extremely early "Swift Journal". I will be going back out tomorrow in another area close by where one of Swift's smelters is suppose to be according to the journal.

Also, there are a few other places I am going to search nearby. I believe I have the general location down for the next mine that was supposedly richer and easier to work and another smelter. There are some cache sites nearby as well I will be hunting for.

I did get pics. of the mine and found an extremely old horse shoe and file below the mine. The mine has a large Wahoo standing in front of it as Swift stated and is extremely well hidden. The rocks Swift put in the mine entance are still there - I did not attempt to remove the rocks, as they looked extremely heavy and I am not suppose to lift over 15 lbs. according to the Neurosurgeon.

Thanks for the update on this long lost treasure.

This is good stuff. Take plenty of pics, and above all, be safe.
 

Re: ONE OF SWIFT'S MINES FOUND!!!!!

Sorry, I don't have these pics developed yet (except some of one of the saddle gaps). I won't be posting the pics of the mine for now (or the saddle gap or any other pic that could give away the location). I have posted three interesting pics under the "Treasure Signs and Markers" section from this area you might want to check out!

I do want to share the pics and the journal and directions (and location) of the mine however! Like I stated, I have a few other areas to check out in the vicinity. In the meantime, I am going to start working on a book regarding everything - including ALL of the pics and the locations of EVERYTHING!

I would like to state that I have found some very unusual sites and facts that I have NEVER seen written about regarding the Swift's Mines.

The book will not take long to write, as I am a fast typer and have kept excellent records detailing everything. The part that will take long is exploring the rest of the area looking for some caches, smelters and another mine. I will be taking pics of everything along the way however!

I would really like to see some pictures. I had to come to Ohio for a week on family business. So there has been no treasure hunting for me. Good luck and be careful.

Snake,

I know what you mean (by not getting a chance to get back out in the field). I haven't been back out since I found the mine earlier this week! I think I will be able to get out tomorrow finally.
