I have enjoyed reading this thread but it is getting a little over my head. If I had my choice of treasure hunting with either poster on this thread it would be ECS. I love facts when it comes to treasure and I have chased an LRL over 15 different US States but I believe for the most treasure to be found facts are needed. You gentlemen carry on, I will read and read more about the tons of gold.
BDD don't try legally to get permission I have gone that route all the way to Washington, D.C. and was turned down with the facts starring them right in the face.
Well thanks for your opinion about who you want to hunt with, although no one asked. I can understand wanting to hunt with ECS as he does his "hunting" while sitting in front of a computer monitor. It's easy, cheap, clean, comfy, and you can be anybody you want to be. My style of hunting costs money, it's dirty, it's uncomfortable and I will actually know for a "fact" if I find a treasure versus just stories of treasures. I would bet that ECS has not dug a hole over a foot deep , if at all, in the last year. I have dug dozens upon dozens many over six foot deep. Has either of us found a real treasure? I am the one doing all the real treasure hunting but yet I get made fun of?
franklin, correct me if I am wrong but don't you claim to know where tons, and tons, and tons, and tons of gold is and all you need to find it is to dig up a casket with all the maps in it? In fact it is so much treasure it could pay off the national debt. All I can say is WOW! I am just looking for some measly silver bars in an area known to have been frequented over a period of more than 300 years by pirates and in a place where many pirate items including chests, silver bars, swords and more have reportedly been found. The stupidest thing anyone has said on any of my threads was that how can the silver exist if I don't even know the name of the pirate that buried it.
There are WAY too many experts on here. The only thing treasure-wise that I claim to be an expert on is to how NOT TO find treasure as I have made just about every mistake known in the book. Of course I can't tell you the name of the book, you will have to check with ECS on that.
franklin-So you are telling me to not try to get legal permission to dig? Well besides being a felony and totally against Treasurenet rules to give that advice, I like my freedom. Have you decided to dig up the casket without getting permission? Please post the results on this World Wide Web so that EVERYBODY will know how that turns out for you. I don't need to dig illegally as I have no problem getting property owners to let me dig. Now the Rocky Bluff site is different. It belongs to the government. Actually it belongs to the tax paying citizens of the United States. Hey, I wonder if I can just dig up my share.
So you were turned down in Washington even when you had "the facts staring them right in the face"? You didn't get your facts from ECS did you? He tends to not get his facts straight, but of course I am just jealous. Maybe you and ECS should team up. What a combo! But don't expect ECS to do anything but bombard you with a whole bunch of fact sounding facts that will do you and nobody else one bit of good as to figuring out where to stick a shovel in the ground. But hey, it all sounds really impressive and that's all that counts in todays world. All show and NO GO! Good luck!
