Treasure Mountain, CO - Lost Frenchmens Gold

[Ramiro valdez]

We have a copy of a book from the French archives that has dozens if not hundreds of maps and entries from the Jesuit priests. We had some of these translated back in the 90s. Many of the entries and maps explain the americas as they have come to know them. I’ll see if I can get it scanned into an electronic format and share it. Here is one of their maps that explains the route they would travel. View attachment 2182268

What made you choose this drawing? I'm interested in knowing what the writing on it is saying. This is a cipher map and the idea is to draw something small to make it look big, so that you focus on it to make you think that you're looking at something larger which is going to throw you off the hunt. It is a hidden clue that is not meat for you. It is a message that can be explain to only those that have a need to know. Information that will help you hunt the treasure down. Information that will only help he who knows how to decipher symbolic cipher information found on cipher maps. There is more that you don't see on this map cause you do understand ciphering. I don't blame you, but I would like to make you aware of what you are up against so you don't go crazy thinking that you found the location spending all your time, money, energy on thinking that you found it.

someone at work here was trimming down their stuff and had some books for which I said sure I would take. like out of a movie one day moving these books one fell open to a map of treasure stories. living in Del Norte CO I found the closest one called Lost Frenchmen Gold. so I jumped in...

my first doubt comes from where. i am fully vested in the notion that 200/300 men and 300/400 horses came into colorado as early as around 1790. I don't want to talk gold. i want to talk about the trace of this very large group in Co. That many people is a huge party for the period. just imagine the support needed for that adventure. reading here that they brought mercury with them. so from metallurgists to doctors to chefs... all of this has to have left trash and history where they camped. read some say they hung around as long as 3 years. well that is a stationary camp., a semi perma settlement. imagine the stables to house 300+ horses. i read they would escape the cold winters and head to Taos for the winter (this is conjecture as I would say that trip alone is harsh from Gunnison to Taos by horse). anyway where did this massive group stay and why for example is that camp site not a historical monument? "Here in 1789 the French..." should be on a plaque. i cannot fathom that it has not been found, evidenced, and made historic. Pike's Stockade is just some made up location, not even archeologists can find anything on that... but the largest party to ever enter western US pre1800 is just legend?

imho find the trail of human footprints first and foremost. i have found zero evidence of any french presence near wolf creek and what is called treasure mountain and treasure falls near me. not a single horse shoe or button. impossible to have that many europeans in theater and not leave a single iota of an artifact. jump over to Crested Butte farther north. Yule and other history very much implies a french presence in that area. no where in any local museum is a section reserved for "French Finds". no traces anywhere. again nothing to do with the gold, just want to find where the french camped at. I post here because I cannot find any historical items found in colorado near the San Luis Valley. this writing is more of a thought dump but also read I think a Yule found what the believe is french housing near Treasury Mt. That makes a lot more sense than around here...

finally, I am amused by this notion of hiding gold in someone else's back yard. its egotistical. the Ute knew every corner of this area so the idea europeans could hide something, like in a cave is ludicrous. altho not into gold, anywhere the french went would immediately be investigated. so you cant bury and hide anything in indian country is what I am saying. imagine me trying to bury something in your yard, I don't care how clever I think I am. "Hey why is this giant boulder now in front of this cave?". the treasure map and that lore is something I am avoiding. so much conjecture and lies apply to that side. skip that, so where the hell did the hundreds of french camp?

tldr: any and all searches on french lost treasure need to focus around the Gunnison areas and not the San Luis Valley versions. where did the French camp?

I also agree with your way of thinking? When you wonder how a large group can just disappear. If you can find dinosaurs bones, then you can find human bones. We just don't know where the natives buried them? I also understand how cipher maps don't help those who don't know how to read them. Many have tried and instead of helping all they do is introduce misinformation which only makes things more confusing. You are right to say that because of the expedition being so big in numbers? Or by that matter any large group will producing more than one cipher. Its has happened several times. When a pirate buries his own treasure, there will only be one cipher and several copies could surface. So I understand your way of thinking. But what can help you to find the location quicker is to break the cipher and that is I tackle the cipher first. That is my way of thinking because i learned to troubleshoot many things in the military. In order to save time and money one must investigate all the clues and corner the problem. So deciphering the cipher first before you hit the ground will get in the immediate area and all you have to do is verify the map by what the map say. That's if you know how to decipher the map. I understand about you not finding what you need to find. So I'm not kidding about what know and what I can do when it comes to ciphers. I love to work with individuals who what to find more information from that particular area because you want to find more information. To define more history to the French expedition.
