A partner of mine was investigating Ron Quinn and his crew looking for answers to where Ron had found his treasures and whom he had partnered with himself during this period from 1980 until the mid 1990's. I suggested he find and question one of the surviving members that he hunted with. My partner did some research and found his phone number. He called and found out this person was deceased. But, his widow decided to allow him access to the archives of her late husband. I went with him on the first meeting and it went well. He speaks fluent Spanish and I don't so this made me more of a spectator. I was polite and mostly kept to myself only helping by photographing the pages of Petroglyphs containing Spanish treasure maps of the many sites the group investigated and dug. This deceased person had quite and archive! On the next visit I couldn't make it with my friend as I has to work late. I was upset to learn the next day the surviving family member asked I not accompany him to any more visits.
I cannot explain exactly why. I was only there a few minutes, but, I believe it may have had possibly something to do with the fact I don't speak Spanish. This made me a bit upset at first. I soon got over it and decided the information that was being provided was very suspect and possibly not as revealing as I thought. The archive the LWTT provided was not as extensive and informational as the one Ron Quinn had left me before he passed. It gave some revelations about the mindset of the group of Treasure Hunters back then. I'll refer to them as the long winded Treasure talkers. LWTT.
The group of LWTT's include a Mr Pate, Ortiz, and others that were involved with the decoding of the Treasure of Tumacacori map which I now know is not what anyone thinks it is. The true map has yet to be seen. The LWTT group talks of this map on many days of audio tapes and explains the symbols as being Aztec. In reality they were utilizing the map and searching for the Treasures of the Aztecs!
I have some audio of the many days of recording they all did explaining the daily mundane life of a Treasure Hunter attempting to make sense of advanced symbols and signs they had no way of comprehending at that time before computers were connected to world wide archives of historical information at ones finger tips. I'll see if I can upload and some how post a teaser of the audio. All of the people on these tapes are now passed.
I'll post it later. We continue to search for other important spots near Elephant Head butte and in the Tumacacori Mountains. Some of these locations were excavated by backhoe for treasure and some by pick and shovel. One location near the butte is were the Quinn brothers unearthed a cache of Gold Bars locate by petroglyph drawings on the black rocks. The same sort of maps I discovered in 2001.
