And I have to say, I've gotten very bored with treasure tales from only areas at low elevation which are close to major cities and easily accessible. Those stories and search areas have been beaten to death, so I would rather focus on areas where few people ever venture as it is much more likely there is still something to find in those areas. Whether it is the subject of the stories there, or new prospects being discovered.
Now that I think about it, there may also be ore in the Lime watershed below the mouth of Twilight Creek...
Another thought has occurred to me about Carson's vein, and that is he might have cleaned it out already. The last trip he made into Silverton he wasn't carrying much, and its hard to believe a guy would walk away from a rich surface outcropping after putting out the effort to get up that high on foot without getting as much as you could. Its also possible he had to leave some ore behind he had already broken out of the vein, if he wasn't feeling well enough to make enough trips up and down the watershed to retrieve it all. That may explain why people later found float down Twilight Creek, because it got washed down from a pile of ore he left behind.
