This idea that i can get everyone in one room at the same time, to discuss the contract, wherein I am basickly giving them a silver mine, may be my undoing.
First call was inundated with the phrase, "Well, I don't know yet."

I may be forced into plan B, or plan C.

B.... mail it to them, and lose the ability to exchange thoughts or objections, which removes me as an arbitrator.

C.... drive out there and hand deliver them and give each one a chance to exchange thoughts or ideas. Which family do I go to first?....

More importantly...
WHICH PLAN WILL GET IT DONE FIRST?

I DON'T LIKE CATS, BUT THE MORE I DEAL WITH PEOPLE, THE MORE I LIKE CATS!

Its the mine.

There are several possible vaults on each family's land.

Howdy Mikel,

Here you go,:cat::cat::cat:.

Wish I could help you, but I have had the same experience up until now, it's not easy giving a lost mine away. I finally found someone willing to go the whole nine yards. Yes finding a lost mine is easy, getting it working is the hard part. Follow your heart, if you had a plan B, an C, I would say go ahead with plan B.

Thank you Homar.
Your post is very timely.

I had to make that decision just last night.
The widow in the valley.
Can't make a decision on her own, without her son.

In less than a month deer season starts. He wants to be done so he can hunt there.
He is the one that I have been waiting for, so now I must rush the rest to work around him.

I am ready, but she needs me to wait until next week.

So next week I will become the thorn in everyone's side.

At last, forward motion!!

Thank you for the encouraging note. I needed it today.

I am happy that things are going well for you finally.
I know it has been a long struggle for you.

GOD BLESS YOU AND PROTECT YOU.

I have finally found a used copy of Kenworthy's book on Spanish Deathtraps.

Do any of you think it was a bad idea to order it on Friday the thirteenth?!?

It was only a bad day for the Knights Templar in 1307, Friday October 13. Research the methods of torture and who did it.
 

Got my copy in the mail today.
Great addition to my reference bookbag!

Yesterday, I tried to give my silver mine back to the land owners, One family was all in, but the other wants nothing to do with it. Not even I will be allowed to roll the stones from its door, after all of my research and labor.

I will be allowed to go back to find irrefutable proof that it is still there.

For now I must decide who I will take with me.

I'll add a few pages to the book and start the search again.

HOWDY MIKEL,

HOPE YOU HAD A HAPPY THANKSGIVING SURROUNDED BY LOVED ONES.

SORRY TO HEAR THAT YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE PUTTING A HAPPILY EVER AFTER ON YOUR FIND. I TOLD YOU THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN GIVE A MINE TO SOME PEOPLE. THESE ARE THINGS THAT ONE DID NOT EXPECT, AND DID NOT PREPARE FOR.

THE SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS IS WHERE WE TREASURE HUNTERS HAVE TO LEARN OUR TRADE. TREASURE CHANGES A LOT OF PEOPLE. THIS IS WHY CONTRACTS HAVE TO BE MADE BEFORE FINDING ANYTHING. IF YOU HAVE WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM THE MINERAL RIGHTS OWNERS, AND AN AGREEMENT ON SHARES, YOU SHOULD REMIND THEM. IT'S ALWAYS BETTER TO SETTLE THINGS OUT OF COURT.

I DON'T KNOW THE FULL SCOOP OF YOUR SITUATION, AND DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW MINING LAW DIFFERS IN THE EAST FROM THAT IN THE WEST. SURE HOPE YOU DON'T HAVE TO RESORT TO LEGAL ACTION, BUT SOMETIMES THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES TO GET THINGS WORKING.

HOMAR
 

HOWDY HOMAR.
THANKSGIVING WAS GOOD. I HOPE YOURS WAS GOOD AS WELL.

THE MOST IMPORTANT SIGNATURE WAS THE THIRD TO CROSS OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE.
HIS WIFE WILL NOT SIGN ANY DOCUMENT WITH ANYONE.
SHE STILL ALLOWS ME TO COME AND GO, BUT WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MINE. SHE JUST WANTS TO ENJOY HER FARM LIFE.

I TALKED TO THREE GENERATIONS OF HER FAMILY AT ONCE. HER GRANDSON IS THE ONLY ONE WITH AN OPEN MIND, AND HE IS OUTVOTED.

THEY HAVE THE PAPERWORK IN HAND. I HOPE HE REALIZES WHAT HE HAS, SOON.

IN THE MEANTIME I WILL SEARCH FOR SOMEONE TO WALK WITH ME, THAT I KNOW AND CAN TRUST, THAT WANTS ONLY TO BE A PART OF HISTORY.

THE FOLKS THAT OWN THE LAND THAT COVERS THE TUNNEL ARE MORE INTERESTED, BUT ARE AT DIFFERENT LEVELS.

THE AGREEMENT THAT I PROPOSED WAS TO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD.

EVERYONE INVOLVED SEES IT DIFFERENTLY. SO I CANNOT SHOW ANYONE THE TRUE ENTRANCE TO THE MINE.

NOW I MUST RETHINK EVERY PAGE THAT I HAVE WRITTEN TO MAKE SURE THAT I HAVE NOT TILTED THE SCALE TO SHOW EITHER FAMILY THE PATH TO THE ENTRANCE.

YOU ARE CORRECT. YOU CANNOT GIVE SOME FOLKS A SILVERMINE.

HOWDY MIKEL,

SO THE ENTRANCE TO THE MINE IS ON A DIFFERENT PROPERTY THAN THE END OF THE TUNNEL? IN THAT CASE THE MINE ENTRANCE OWNERS HAVE NO SILVER LEFT ON THEIR PROPERTY UNLESS A CACHE RESTS THERE. OTHERWISE SINCE YOU HAVE PERMISSION, YOU COULD ENTER THE TUNNEL, AND GET A GPS WHERE THE VEIN IS, AND IF IT IS NOT TO DEEP, IT COULD BE OPENED UP AT THE OTHER PROPERTY WITH NO PROBLEM FROM THOSE LAND OWNERS. A GRAB SAMPLE WOULD SURELY CONVINCE THEM TO CUT YOU IN ON A SHARE OF THE CLAIM TO GET THE GPS OF THE VEIN.

HOMAR
 

In a nutshell, yes... sorta.
It's complicated.
Watch for a PM.

Well hours felt like days for a while, after I left the farm, when I had hope that the grandson would call the number that I left.

Now that I have realized that it would be most difficult for him to persuade his elders.

Now the days slip away like hours.

I am studying a short list of possibilities to approach with a plan from the mind of a madprospector.

Thanks DSTY.
He and I have been p.m. ing about that for I few days.
Circumstances pass slowly on that mountain.
I think they will start giving forward momentum a chance.
Thanks for dropping his name in , as a vote of confidence. I share the same confidence in him.
