Here ya go. Redacted as to personal addresses, phone numbers, etc.
Sure would be nice to see this much scrutiny on the rest of the "stuff" that flows through here.
Any doubt in anybody's mind this is a Special Use-Treasure Trove Permit? Forest Service made a couple attempts to side step this request. I persisted. If there was no Treasure Trove Permit issued, you can be ASSURED they would not have sent the permit and hundreds of pages of supporting documents.
Here's the Permit, and a copy of the sign off letter from the Forest Service that gives you the complete story of my request from start to finish.
Permit speaks for itself.........fully loaded from the Contact ID (HistoricExplorationsTreasure).......... to the header of the permitted activity to include..........to determine the existence of a Treasure Trove.......
provisions 18 and 19 specific to artifacts and Treasure Trove.
As additional information, please refer to Mr. Feldman's book "Jacob's Trail"......specifically page 131 quoted below:
"Our main goal in pursuing this Archaeological Dig was to find treasure (Geronimo's Ransom) -- by entering the Main Drift of Rogers Spring seep, via Cox's old filled shaft, to find the collapsed Left Drift, which we believed had not been compromised by Cox's double-crossing partners, and therefore, still held treasure.
My father spearheaded the effort to get he Treasure Trove Permit. we faced and overcame many obstacles before we got the permit. The first thing we had to do was persuade the U.S. Forest Service that a reasonable chance of success exited for treasure to be found at Roger's Spring. That was the easy part, because we really did have a good story."
