Treasure Mountain, CO - Lost Frenchmens Gold

[mdog]

That is the one that Leblanc made.

Maddog, was right about questioning the location where the South Platte River met the Arkansas River, where the Indians fought the French expedition. The South Platte River really doesn't really reach the Arkansas River unless it overflows. If you took that as a starting point and work yourself towards the north you would run into the location. You will first run by several rock slides and they chose one of those rock slides to buried their gold which was not the best thing to do because the water ended up displacing the rocks. Easy for a sheepherder to see. There are two rock structures mentioned on two of the three cipher maps. One is a large graphic circular outline that describes the entrance to the goldmine. The other cipher map used a small circular letter to tip you off. then two of the cipher maps used a rock structure that resembles a candle holder. It kind of looks more like a volcano looking like rock structure. They used this as a reference to help you locate the circular entrance to the goldmine. Once you find that first goldmine you find the rest. You can find the volcano looking like structure near Beaver Creek before it turns into West Beaver Creek. The camp is the easiest thing to find by using the cipher map. If you know the location you can easily decipher the map. Don't forget about the video it has one very important clue if you want to quickly find the place where they buried the gold. Good luck Denver, happy hunting Colorado.

Thank you for the information. I'm interested in your historical research. Have you been to the site?

I've successfully decipher a good amount of cipher maps. I've actually have given away information pertaining to two, but I didn't want to explain them in detail because I did not want you to know how certain symbol were being used and the information definitely would help you decipher other ciphers. I could explain the who cipher in detail. I usually point you to the general area and that's where I stop because treasure hunters don't give me the credit I deserve. They are greedy individuals and only care about what you can give them. So instead I try to give everyone opportunity by giving out the general location before the immediate. So everyone looking for the treasure can have a fair chance in finding exploring the immediate area of the treasure. Most greedy treasure hunters don't like, but want to make sure that you know this as a community of treasure hunters looking the lost Frenchmen gold and the hidden goldmines. I'm here to help you, in finding the location, and I'm going to give you the information that you need. Information that you are missing which will define all the stories you have heard. I will for the first time explain everything in detail. But as a community you won't be able to hide the information or be the only ones to explore the immediate area because the area is not far from the public eye. Anyone can be there within thirty minutes. So I offered you the opportunity to get together an exploration team so you can explore it before anyone finds out. But I've not heard anyone speak out. I'm going to decipher this treasure story for you in detail so the next time you don't question my knowledge of knowing how to decipher treasure maps. Randy also has the opportunity to stop me and interview me in order to take advantage of this information. But it's not up to me to help you decide. With that in mind I will proceed to tell you what you don't know. In a couple of days I will start answering some of the most important question that you all brought up. Don't say that I didn't want to work with you

On pages 17, 18 and 19 of the above link, Walnut Creek is mentioned, twice as the site of gold and silver recoveries and once as a destination for a treasure search. One of the treasure recoveries was made by a man who claimed to be a member of the Zebulon Pike Expedition of 1807. Walnut Creek is also mentioned in this account of the Pike Expedition.

Zebulon Pike's Expedition To The Southwest 1806-1807

Pike spent a week in this area and then his party separated with Lt. Wilkinson going down the Arkansas River and eventually to St. Louis. Wilkinson was the son of General James Wilkinson who was a spy for the Spanish and a traitor who planned to build an empire in Louisiana Territory. If this is the same Walnut Creek for all these events, it seems strange that Pike would spend so much time there and then split his party. Pike was also at several sites in Colorado where there were legends of Spanish mines. He was also getting pretty close to the San Juan Mountain area when he was captured by the Spanish. Kinda makes you wonder if Wilkinson had him on a treasure search.

Do you know what state that Walnut creek is in? The one that is mentioned in the Zebulon Pike expedition of 1807.

You guys have produced one of the best threads. This thread is a good example of what can be accomplished through collaboration.

Time for a field trip?

Here are a couple interesting pictures.

Look near the center of the picture for the dark rectangular door shape with a light circle in it.

I might be able to get there if I were a mountain goat or if I could fly.

What part of the colorado is this pic taken? Looks like a place that is definitely worth checking out. Looks like it might require ropes to get down to it.

I think it was by Arkansas City, Kansas but not for sure.

Thank you for the information. I'm interested in your historical research. Have you been to the site?

Thank you, for being interested. I'm going to take you back to the 1600's or 1800's. At a time when there was no roads in a place no European had ever seen. There was no satellite, no internet, and no map. You must work with what you have like a pirate. Which means you have to have a compass, a spyglass, and be on the look out. I'm pretty sure you can use a compass, a spyglass, but you're missing the lookout which you can obtain easily with the satellite. All cipher maps are based on three maps the major, the general, and the immediate. But one cipher map can contain all three within its self. If it wasn't made that way no one would find it. So because of the large symbolic large cipher map, using the satellite, you don't have to set foot on the location which also includes the general mapping and 8 out of 10 times the immediate is very visible when the cipher map contains the graphic outlined of what you need to find. Cipher immediate instructions will only be needed when you're within a hundred and fifty feet, give or take, and you cannot see the door entrance in order to find it. But they did not need immediate instructions for finding all five of the goldmines. Although they did cipher instructions using symbolic symbols as to the location of the buried treasure. I cannot give you the immediate location because non of you will benefit if I tell everyone one on this site. So I'm hoping that you and your colleague who's family has been looking it for many years who goes out into the mountains ever year, because he has the most experience, will figure it out by what I said. If you can't find it when you get there I will point it out for you that way you can take immediate control of the find. But it would better if you find it yourself for historical record. Read between the lines.
