I was advised to Edit the last post, welll I couldn't figure out how to partially edit some of it, so I deleted it all. The damage may have already been done but I'll be careful what I post from now on. But for those of you that saw it, anything I post is as true as I believe it is, I do not Lie, I never Lie, it may sound like a lie at first or a Tall Tale, but I can always back it up with facts and photographs and I'm not just talking about this thread, there's quite a few threads in different catagories. My first metal detector I bought was in 1957 when I was a newspaper boy. I've been a Prospector all of my life, also a Ex- Vet, Ex-Cowboy, Treasure Hunter, Amatuer Archie (Archaeologist) and the list goes on. My Grandmother's Story I grew up with and as soon as I got out of the service I wanted to go after it in Arizona, but Fate came along and interupted that with My Mountain Story of which you can view here in Treasure Legends under Aztec Gold, look for the thread "THE RETURN OF THE GIANT SERPENT" ( My Book) and lot's and lot's of pictures and on page 15 a YouTube Video by Terry Carter where he Interviews me. And My Book is also on Amazon Kindle as well and if you don't want to pay the $3.50 to read it, you can take a Sneek Peek of the beginning pages of it. Then you can scroll down the Forum page to Treasure Marks & Signs and look for my thread "Feather Sign & Animal Sign", I walked away from my mountain story and joined a group of friends, 7 of them, to File a Corporate Claim with them in the La Panza Mountains ( another area I also know quite well and is close to where I live), in 2011. Shortly afterwards I started finding Old Spanish Monuments, Mine Monuments and for 8 1/2 years in between the placer mining I was doing, found a Old Spanish Mine of which I am actively working now. I could write a book on this too, but I probably will just have to wait and see how long I live. Grandma's Book is the priority now. But I have to tell you, Salvador Delgadillo of the Lost Dutchman Treasure Hunters made me a little Humble recently at the 27th Annual Lost Dutchman Treasure Hunters Award Ceremony in Goldfield, Arizona, March 15th, 2019 when I got this award, which I never even knew about, let alone did I ever knew of their existence (see attachment). Kind of made me feel appreciative, something clicked inside of me after that and I decided then to write Grandma's Book for like Posterity, at least I could contribute to the Legends of the Superstitions in my own way. You can see the award ceremony on Terry Carter's YouTube Channel, he got one too., in fact he received mine there, he was shocked. I'm not to sure what to make out of the Bob Ward Story, though it's short, it's not exactly what Grandma told me. Bill could have been there before he died, the Apache Woman Friend "Elizabeth" might have taken them both initially to the mine. That's a question mark
? What I do know is that Elizabeth brought a Basket to put gold ore into it and it was Immensely Rich. This Basket remains in the Family (see attachments) and it has been appraised by several authorities including on a thread here under the Category of North American Indian Relics, it's a Early 20th Century Apache Olla Trade or Tourist Basket. According to Grandma, they filled it to the brim. I know that Grandma went there 3 or 4 times, but she never actively mined it, life was busy with 2 kids and of course her job and it was a long ways from Phoenix to the Supers in a Model T Truck.
I think she would of sold her interest although she never alluded to it. And not only that, she kept everything pertaining to it. This Guy Hardy has something to do with all of this, I can feel it in my bones.
