Funny, thought this thread was about LDM. I believe i can put somebody within 50 yards of the LDM. Born and raised in AZ now living in Reno, NV. Does not do much good now as the land classification keeps
keeps anyone from benefiting. johnnysau

I can put you within 75-meters of Bigfoot Johnny! I'll call you!

Pray tell us what you know about Bigfoot, that you can make this promise? Thank you in advance.

Pain, lot's of pain. I haven't been out to my area in a year and a half, due to my back problem. Felt good today so I went out there. Now I have leg cramps and my feet are burning. I love going out there and can't wait to do it again. What J. W. Called first and second water are running, not a whole lot, but both springs are flowing.

It is very quiet. I'm sure everyone is out on these beautiful days looking for the LDM and other treasures. Be safe and watch out for rattlesnakes. I hope you all come back with pictures and good stories.

Maybe that year and a half off from going into the mountains has helped my back. Keep feeling better, went out again a couple of weeks ago. I know that I found the covered mine the way Clay tells it and the filled in pit mine on top of the small ridge next to the hill, you can see it there. Three maps show that they're there 1 is the Holmes map. Now I'm looking for the caches and the mine that the Mexicans had hiding in the bushes. The canyon that I'm in is very thick with brush. Must be careful, if it is there, I might not see it and fall in. Found unknown foundation near head of canyon and a pile of stones that go into the ground, man made at the mouth of the canyon. Soft ground, thought maybe grave of the Mexicans Waltz killed, didn't dig it up. But after I left I thought maybe a cache might be buried there. Now I wish that I pulled the rocks out. Maybe next time, as long as my back holds up.

Marius,

Pictures?

Good luck,

I'm pretty sure that no one has looked in my area but no pictures, I'm afraid that someone would recognise it. If I find the bush covered mine, I will take pictures of the entrance and what's inside. I'm very paranoid, I trust no one. I look around to make sure that I'm not being followed. I even put fake areas in my phone in case I get hacked.

Sorry Marius,

I have been a little out of sorts lately. Thanks for asking, I'm feeling a lot better. Had a 95% blockage of the large artery in my heart. Got a stint put in Saturday and came home Sunday. Big difference!

Take care,

Joe

I'm neither a prospector or miner, so maybe someone can enlighten me as to exactly what gives away these blurred photos as anything more than rocks and brush?

That makes me feel better! I honestly wasn't trying to come across as a "dick" in my question. I often see posts here of rocks, brush, google images, photographs with descriptions that for the life of me I just can't see. Most of the time I think it's just people seeing what they want to, but every now and then since there are so many of them being posted I feel like I HAVE to be the only one missing what I'm supposed to be seeing.

By the way - there was a specimen posted on another thread that Carrol had found on his dad's claim area that had multi-colored minerals in it. If I can find it again, I'd like to ask what some of those are? It was a unique looking rock that's for sure. I remember reading once about something called Peacock Ore and when I saw it that's the first thing that popped into my head.

you are correct...

Only reason it seems fuzzy is the pics are a small crop of very large pics taken from a distance (across Rogers canyon), both are of the exact same ledge, 90 degrees from each other. The ledge is in an undercut on a vertical wall (Cliff) with brush over the top of it. Did you look close? Click on photo to get large version not the thumbnail(site only displays it at 55%). However it is a very large vein of gold, that I believe you can not find anything that compares to it anywhere on earth. Look at the word ON with the O above the N, in the second photo, that is a gold telluride vein. The ledge runs a unknown way back inside and if you look you will see lots more back behind the ON.

Here is the best info I can provide to you on what those pics are beyond rocks and brush. (just remember they are using the super group as an example)

Are you claiming this is the lost Dutchman's mine ?

 

[sailaway]

I know it is the mine from the Jesuit painting from Japan that Ted DeGrazia had. Is it the Lost Dutchman? It could be by the description given of a gold ledge but need further proof that connects Waltz to it. That particular portion of the open mining is a small area of the diggings along a fault line. However knowing that it will be almost impossible to come close to the electrum of that vein I feel that is the ledge described as the "richest in the world". Locating that mine I had to use the cinder cone on Iron Mountain to find it.
