Re: Opinions on this KGC "Vault"
DAS7NY, the KGC is probably linked to the Knights Templar through the Masonic Lodge (especially the Scottish Rite). Personally, I believe that if there is any Knights Templar treasure here, it is more than likely on Oak Island. The Burrow's Cave finds are probably linked to something else (my guess is an advanced civilization here before Noah's flood).
As for Swift's Mines, you can do a Google search and come up with some general information. It is too long of a story for me to type here, but, basically consists of Mundy and Swift mining rich Silver/Gold ore in the Appalachian Mountains during the 1760's.
As far as Templars/Masons, there IS a direct connection. Both the Templars and high ranking masons today have a ceremony in which a head (Baphomet) is used. The original head (some say the actual physical head of Jesus - a good book to read is "Head of God" or John the Baptist) was found/owned by the Templars supposedly at the Temple Mount, along with other treasures (some say the Holy Grail and treasures from the Temple, including the real Ark of the Covenant). The head supposedly talks to the people during the ceremony. Anyway, it is a fact the Templars were rich and the treasures they had were not found during their executions.
This Templar/Masonic connection is also relevant to many of us, as all of the "Inner Circle" of KGC members were high ranking Masons. Also, this is relevant to Swift, as Swift was more than likely a Mason, who founded the George Washington Society (and we know George was a Mason).
I have some more "wild theories" as well that date back even further and have been in touch with Roger Snow in the past to substantiate the main theory. Some of these mines/caches go back well over a thousand years to the time of Solomon and before! I am not speaking of KGC depositories directly. However, one might find some of this ancient treasure/technology in a KGC depository, as the KGC were notorious treasure hunters and somehow (maybe their Masonic/Templar connections) knew where a lot of these old treasures were hidden and placed them in their (KGC) depositories. In the book "Jesse James Was One of His Names", Jesse is quoted reading a treasure book that came out in the 1930's (I believe without looking back through the book) that the author knew his stuff about these treasures and locations, but the KGC and James had gotten over 90% of them already! Also, the KGC is suppose to have found an Aztec treasure and deposited it somewhere in TX! Now, back to the subject of even older treasures/mines in the Americas! We KNOW the Phoenicians were here in ancient times, as their descendants, Melungeons, still exist. Supposedly, these people came here during the time Solomon was searching for materials for his Temple and aided Solomon in getting here (they were great sailors) and mining ore. There is also evidence that these minerals Solomon sought in the Americas were known to him and go back even further to pre-flood times during advance civilizations (when Fallen Angels mated with daughters of men (Adam - Humans) and created Giants and other abominations such as half human half animal/plant "people" that angered God - in other words, they were very advanced and carrying out genetic experiments with different species and mating with human women to create Giants). This Pre-Flood Civilization was more advanced than we are today (hence, the stories of Atlantis being destroyed by water relate to Noah's Flood). Roger Snow has told me his father and he have even seen some of this "advanced technology" from this civilization in some of the treasure chambers (in the book 100 Tons of Gold, Mr. Snow talks about finding stuff in a treasure cave in NM that he could not go into detail about - some of this ancient technology, according to Roger). However, the Govt. was/is after this and has confiscated most of it through torture and murder. The govt. confiscated most of this treasure/technology in the 1900's, so, we might assume that the KGC, with their "inside knowledge" from their Masonic connections, also found some in the 1800's and might have hidden this treasure/technology in some of their depositories as well.
The main reason I went back so far in time during the last paragraph was to make a connection that to "certain initiates" ancient treasures and mines were known (Solomon knew of them and their whereabouts, as well as others - high ranking Templars and Masons).
Sitchin's books touch on this some as well (the ancient mining). Sitchin, however, believes these Fallen Angels as "Gods" and I differ with him there, as they are simply what we would call Angels or Fallen Angels that followed Satan. However, he does present some good evidence of the "Fallen Angels" mining precious ores in Pre-Flood times.
