Is the Natchez Trace along or near the Arkansas River? Beale and his men did help build the first US Fort on the Arkansas and did go up the Arkansas to near Pueblo, Colorado where they were met again by the Spanish and taken to Sante Fe. They returned home down the Platte and Missouri Rivers to St. Louis. This was before the entire party's first trip in 1818, either in 1812 or 1814---most likely 1814 because they were near Denver, Colorado in the Spring of 1815.
Thanks SS, I do a lot of research. I have so much I can not sort all of the information out. All the treasures I research on cross reference information over into the others at some point. So there is a lot said when Rebel says, the Beale Treasure, CSA Treasury and Swift Silver Mines all are intermixed with the KGC and the Knight's Templar.
Beale, you sound like myself in the organization part of things. I have research on many treasures other than Swift. In fact, Ralph is coming down in a couple weeks simply to help me organize my maps! Again, I believe you are correct - there are MANY "crossovers" between these treasure legends - which is pointing to a "vault" of somekind in more than one area! Beale, from my research, it seems these vaults were here before Swift and Beale. I believe there is some "connection" here with the Templars and their knowledge and exploits in this country. Then, we can go even further back in time, as to this "knowledge" that the Templars had, which probably relates to these sites in and around Solomon's time. It seems this "knowledge" has been passed down through certain "initiates" over the course of hundreds of years - then we get to the KGC (and even "watchers" today).
Rebel - funny you mention Beale's "Enterprise", as Swift refers to this word quite a bit regarding his affairs at sea and with the "Scots"!
This "Enterprise" might be one and the same!
I believe it is not only hiding precious metals, but Religious artifacts and "knowledge" inside these vaults!
As with SWR's latest post, as R. Lee Ermey would say, "I smell Bullsh*t!".
SS Hold on to your King Solomon connection. I believe that is your best lead. There are ancient cities being found in Kentucky with temples and writing on pillars, stones with steps and tombs. Myself I believe that is the Mulungeon connection, they were left behind working King Solomon Mines when ties and connections to this part of the world was severed. Have you seen any remnants of a city nearby, if not look more closely and spread out your search for a couple miles in every direction. There was an ancient city near Lexington, Kentucky that covered a few square miles--------not built by Indians.
Beale, We seem to have a lot in common in our beliefs. In regards to the Melungeons being left behind from the Solomon mining - my research has also pointed to this and, it was what I was attacked for by vamelungeon as well. I believe the Phoenicians tie into this Solomon's Mine/Melungeon connection. VAmelungeon stated that Melungeons were Purtuguese and NOT Phoenician. However, they ARE Portuguese, Spanish and many other races as well, and what I pointed out to vamelungeon was the HISTORICAL FACT that the Phoenicians RULED Portugal for nearly 800 years - there HAS to be some Phoenician "connection" with the Portuguese, as you know there was a mixing of the races, as well as cultures during an 800 year rule!
People can state "conspiracy, blah-blah" all they want, but things DO ADD UP that aren't "normal". Also, an interesting fact that I have noticed is that while I was under the strict impression of Swift ONLY here to mine, nothing. Now, in addition to several weird happenings in the field and home, I was contacted by a multi-national mining corporation last Saturday from their Canadian office. It was a rather weird call, in that the person asked if this was my phone and hung up. I tried calling back, but I didn't have the party's extension, so I was sent to a voice recording to enter in various numbers for different departments, etc. Thank THE EVER LIVING GOD for caller ID (plus, I have my phone arranged where if someone blocks their number, they cannot get through), as I was able to identify the company and have their number. Their website is below. I cannot figure out why they contacted me (or how they acquired my number) in the first place? I also cannot figure out why they (sounded like a secretary on the line) simply asked if this was MY number and hung up?

Beale, one last thing. You are "right on the money" with your Solomon connection to this! That is where my site is pointing, especially in the field, where many carved rocks are simply too ancient to be from Swift's time or even Templar time. It is only a theory of mine, as I don't have enough evidence to substantiate it 110% YET, but I believe these "vaults" were established during Solomon's mining, known by the Melungeons who helped mine and probably even stayed here to guard these sites, then passed down through ancient records/traditions to a select few. The Templars probably came across this information while excavatting the Temple Mount and passed the information down to the Scottish Rite then on to select Freemasons and KGC and even modern initiates. One "funny" thing I noticed when I researched vamelungeon that I was not aware of is how MANY Melungeons of present are tied to the Masons and other "secret" organizations. They seem to be far from the "mountain dwellers" we are led to believe! Plus, many seemed to know where to acquire ore for counterfeiting - this is a proven fact through court records of the 1800's and anyone researching Swift's Mines has probably come across this fact.
Keeping it, to "The Vault"... 
Is this b/c I pointed out there HAD to be a Phoenician "connection" by the nearly 800 year rule of the Phoenicians over Portugal?
I proposed a Phoenician connection to the Melungeons - this is NOT belittling their race whatsoever, as the Phoenicians were a GREAT people and instrumental in the building of the Temple!
WHEW! This "thread" is running HOT! And "Off-topic"! LOL... STILL a "bit off", is that I found
