Spanish gold trail markers/monuments pictures

Hey Buddy,

Springfield is no bother. Just a skeptic. What did I say? "Like water off a duck's back!" Look, Jose (Realde) thinks it's natural as well. If you go over to the other thread, and see the new pics I posted of the site, it kinda shoots'em down. What the rocking chair treasure hunters say here, makes little difference to me. Like I said, I've shown the pictures of the site to two of the most respected and well known Spanish Treasure Sign experts in the country, and everybody (who knows what they are talking about) agrees that the site is man made, and at one time led to something very big. The only reason I include these photos from time to time, is to help show newbies how the Spanish used shadows to both hide and display a monument. I have half of a 500 Gigabyte Hard Drive filled with hi res pictures of desert things. I don't post things I am not very sure of.

Twilla,
If any of what I said leads to anything big, I don't want to know. After everything's all said and done, just get a Private Eye to find me with a check. ;D ;D ;D At the end of this post, I'll tell y'all a quick story. I'm trying to find a tracker I heard about. If I can find him, and get him to come down from Canada, you had better let him come with you. He's that good. A group of guys were working a spot in the Superstitions (Peralta Mines or LDM). They brought a black guy with them who was from Canada. This guy was a tracker. The only thing he carried with him was a whisk broom in his back pocket. They brought him to their secret spot. Said he spent about a half hour walking around the area, looking at the surrounding rocks and hills. Every once in a while he stopped and seemed to be taking a bearing. After a while, he stooped down, took out his whisk broom, and dusted off the top few inches of dirt, and said, "DIG HERE!"

A few feet down, they found a flat cover stone in the exact spot this guy said to dig. They pulled it up, and found an empty vault. Nobody I can find remembers his name or how to reach him. One witness to this trackers ability said the guy almost looked psychic.

OK. For all you would be big cache finders! If you go to my thread about the "Peralta Stones" in the Lost Dutchman Section, you will see BlackBeards postings about a guy who found almost three hundred pounds of gold in SoAz (I like that name I just made up. Instead of SoCal, we now have SoAz). When I saw the first page, with his picture, I wondered why he did that. Desire for fame and recognition does strange things to folks. BB told me that the guy doesn't talk to anybody any more, and acts like an a-hole now. I spoke to a friend of mine today about the story. He knows the guy in the story that found the gold. I won't use any names. Some time after those stories were printed, somebody recognized this guy and dropped a dime on him to the IRS! :'( :'( :'( They fell on him like a starvin' cat on a fish stick! They got most of what he owned, seized his safety deposit box, and they had him dead to rights on a ton of legal charges. I can understand why the guy doesn't speak to anyone any more. He probably still doesn't know who ratted him out. He can't trust a soul he knows.

Moral of the story: SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ;)

Hi Mike,
Let me know if you come up with this guy's name and I'll try to contact him too! It would be nice if it was that easy wouldn't it? Okay, I got the moral of the story. I'll keep my mouth shut if we find anything then.

Anyway, in case you did not see my question about how we can turn treasure into cash, would you mind sharing a little expertise in that topic? My friend brought it up today and neither of us has an answer to that question. Mesa Buddy said not to tell the feds but we still don't know how to cash in on it if and when we find anything. Thanks for everything!

T

I'm not Mike, but can maybe offer a little assistance I think.

I'd recommend either burying it close to you somewhere, somewhere where only you and your partner know where it is, and taking out small bits at a time to sell, or moving it offshore to someone overseas "under the table". If you did the latter, you could then move the cash to a Swiss account or something...

Not that you hear that from me, I'd never recommend doing anything against the government ;) :o :-X

Hi Randy,
Actually, we thought about the Caymans but then the problem would be getting it there. If you are only allowed 50 pounds on a plane that would be, hopefully, less than one bar! We could go via ship I guess. Anyway, it's fun to play the "if you won the lottery what would you do?" game. Thanks for your input!

Twilla here is one way go to Reno Las Vegas think girl think are more ways than I have listed use that gray matter that God gave you there is more than one way to skin a cat :o But first things first :o FIND THE TREASURE FIRST RIGHT :oNuff said Buck
 

Hello Buck,
Well I guess IF we find treasure, we'll be so excited at first that we'll come up with all kinds of thoughts. Somehow or another we'll get it turned to cash so we can actually use it, since we can't spend gold chains or bars at the local convenience stores! :) How is the research going?

Hello again Buck!
Thank you for the offer of help again. I know I can look it up on the internet, but who or what was tumacaori? Does your wife go with you when you go out hunting? My husband went up with me the other day and was impressed with what my friend and I have found. Her husband and mine have already told us what percentage they think they deserve of the treasure! HAHA! Well, again, if I can help with research for you, just let me know. Take care!

Hi Mike and Buck,
I don't mean to sound pushy in any way Mike, but I enjoy looking at the new avatars you put on...isn't it time to change it again? ;)
Tomorrow we are going to brave the heat and go back up again and will sit in the chair and look out like you said Mike and we'll also dig where you said. Do either of you have anything else we should be doing while we're there? Please let us know and thanks for all your help.

I can tell you exactly where that picture was taken. Here is one taken from a little ways to the right of where yours was taken from!
