GOOD TO KNOW EVERYONE IS STILL OK.
WELCOME ABOARD, OKIEDOWSER.

I'M BACK IN MADISON COUNTY NOW AND THE CREEKS ARE RISIN'.

IF IT GETS BAD ENOUGH....... SET UP A SLUICEBOX IN THE DOOR TO CATCH YOUR GOLD IF IT
TRIES TO WASH AWAY... HOPEFULLY ALL OF THE LIGHT STUFF IS INSURED.

STAY SAFE AND GOD BLESS.

HEY BLUEHUNTER, SORRY, I WASN'T IGNORING YOU. I JUST GOT LOST TRYING TO FIND
EVERYBODY AGAIN.

I'M GUESSING YOU GOT SOME OF THAT RAIN LAST WEEK.
THAT DUMPED A BUNCH WATER HERE. I HOPE YOU MADE IT THRU WITHOUT A LOSS.

HAPPY HUNTING (FOR ALL OF YOU TN STUFF)
I KNOW THAT I'M STILL HUNTING FOR MY TN STUFF.

MIKEL

 

[PROSPECTORMIKEL]

HEY BLUEHUNTER,

I HAVE TRIED TWO TIMES TO RESPOND TO YOU BUT I CAN'T SEE THEM ON MY END.
ARE YOU GETTING THEM?

IF NOT .... I HOPE YOU MADE IT THRU THE STORMS OK. I DIDN'T MEAN TO IGNORE YOU BUT APPARENTLY I AM
DOING SOMETHING WRONG ON MY THREAD.
I HAVEN'T HAD TROUBLE RESPONDING ON OTHER THREADS, JUST MINE. I AM TRYING.

HOPE THIS POST FINDS YOU WELL AND GOD BLESS.
MIKEL

 

[PROSPECTORMIKEL]

OK..... NOW THIS IS JUST WIERD... AFTER POSTING THE PREVIOUS POST, THE FIRST POST SHOWED UP
OUT OF THE BLUE. SO NOW I SHOW (COUNTING THIS ONE) THREE POSTS BACK TO BLUEHUNTER.

MORE MYSTERIES FROM THE NEW SET-UP.

WELL, HEAT AND HEALTH PROBLEMS HAVE ME IN LOCK DOWN. I WILL NOT GET OUT TO MY MINE SITE FOR SOME TIME, BUT I HAVE GONE BACK TO WRITING AND HAVE ADDED A FEW CHAPTERS AND RE-WRITTEN SOME OF THE OLDER PAGES. AS I WORK THRU OLD NOTES AND PHOTOS AND CROSS REFERENCE DATES AND DOUBLE CHECK CONTENT, MUCH MORE COMES BACK TO THIS BROKEN MEMORY OF MINE.
I STILL LOOK FORWARD TO RETURNING AND ADDING NEW DIGITAL PHOTOS FOR THE BOOK AND FOR THE RECORDS. I ALSO WANT TO TRY SOME OF THE THEORIES THAT SO MANY OF MY TN FRIENDS HAVE SHARED WITH ME.
THE STORY STILL LIVES...

GOD BLESS ONE AND ALL, AND HAPPY HUNTING.

I HAVE JUST GOTTEN INTO MY PM'S FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A WHILE. I ANSWERED THE TOP ONE AND THEN SAW THAT I HAVE OTHERS THAT HAVE GONE UNSEEN TILL NOW. I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT FINDING THEM EARLIER, AND I WILL ANSWER ALL OF THEM AS QUICKLY AS I CAN. IT WILL TAKE ME A LITTLE TIME TO GET TO ALL OF THEM. I WOULD HAVE NEVER IGNORED THEM ON PURPOSE.

I AM POSTING THIS SO THAT YOU WILL ALL SEE THAT I KNOW ABOUT YOUR PMs NOW AND WILL CATCH UP AS QUICKLY AS I CAN.

I MUST GET OFF THE SITE FOR NOW, AS IT IS MY WIFE'S BIRTHDAY AND I DO NOT WISH TO IGNORE HER ESPECIALLY ON THIS DAY.

PLEASE FORGIVE MY IGNORANCE AS TO THE PMs. I WILL GET TO THEM SOON.... "SCOUT'S HONOR".

MIKEL.

geo thompsons' book 'lost treasures on the Spanish trail' will open most folks eyes as to the amount of slavery and brutalization of Amerindians in america by the Spanish miners and conquesators

SLost Treasures on the Old Spanish Trail: George A Thompson: 9780914740315: Amazon.com: Bookspanish

This is the main reason that I have always stated that a certain percentage of my finds go to the descendants of those poor souls

HOWDY, RANGLER. I JUST ORDERED THAT BOOK FROM BARNS AND NOBEL, THEY HAD IT LISTED AS ONE OF THEIR OUTSOURCE BOOKS. WHEN I GOT THE SHIPPING NOTICE, THE NUMBERS DIDN'T MATCH WHAT I HAD ORDERED. IT ISN'T HERE YET BUT I HOPE THE NUMBERS ARE JUST THEIR OUTSOURCE FACILITY NUMBERS. I LOOK FORWARD TO READING IT.
I HAVE STUDIED THIS SUBJECT JUST ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT IF I EVER GET TO OPEN IT, I WILL HAVE A TRIBAL LEADER AND SHAMAN WITH ME. I AM NOT SUPERSTITIOUS BUT I DO RESPECT THE TRIBES' RIGHT TO HONOR THEIR ANCESTORS AND GIVE THEM A PROPER BURIAL. THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT HAVE A VOICE IN THIS MATTER. I HAVE SOME CHEROKEE FRIENDS THAT CAN GET THE RIGHT FOLKS TO TAKE CARE OF THEM.

I HAVE READ ABOUT GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE IN THESE MATTERS AND I FIND IT UTTERLY DISRESPECTFUL.

THANKS FOR THE LINK.

[fronjm05]

did you ever find that pozo? or get through the brush back up to your bluff?

 

[PROSPECTORMIKEL]

I HAVEN'T MADE IT BACK, YET. I HAVE KNOWN WHERE THE POZO IS FOR SOME TIME NOW. I STILL HAVE PLANS TO GO BACK, BUT I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I CAN GO WITH A FRIEND. WITH DOWNED TREES AND FRESH GROWTH COMING UP BETWEEN THOSE BRANCHES AND THE BEARS, AND MY HEALTH, IT IS ALL A WAITING GAME.
I HAVE MORE NEWS TO SHARE BUT I HAVE TO BACK AND RE-LEARN HOW TO POST PHOTOS. I HOPE TO GET IT DONE TONIGHT.
THANKS FOR THE INTEREST IN MY OLD THREAD.

I AM TRYING TO UPLOAD A PHOTO.
I THINK I GOT IT. THIS IS HALF OF A PHOTO THAT I DELETED EARLIER. I NEED TO SHOW THE SPOT THAT I HAD SAT TO TAKE SOME OTHER PHOTOS. IT IS AN OLDER PHOTO THAT I, SIMPLY PUT, HAD A CLOSED MIND, WHEN I LOOKED AT IT. WITH THE REST OF THE PHOTO GONE, IT BECAME CLEAR WHAT I WAS SITTING ON WAS AN IMAGE OF A SKULL AND IT HAS A COUPLE OF MARKERS ON IT, THAT CREATE A LINE (THAT IS WHY I DELETED IT FROM THE OLD POST) THAT CROSSES A SPOT ON THE SITE THAT IS IN PLAIN VIEW FROM THE COUNTY ROAD THAT DISECTS MY SITE.

IF YOU TILT YOUR HEAD TO THE LEFT, THE SKULL BECOMES EASIER TO SEE. THERE IS, WHAT WOULD BE THE RIGHT EYE SOCKET. THEN ON THE RIGHT END OF THE PHOTO YOU CAN SEE THE OPEN MOUTH.

I'LL LET THAT BE ENOUGH FOR NOW. IT'S PAST MY BEDTIME.

HAPPY HUNTING AND GOD BLESS.

THESE TWO IMAGES WERE POSTED ON THE OLD EXILED ANGEL SITE BEFORE IT CRASHED. I HAD SAVED THE PHOTOS BEFORE THE CRASH, BUT DO NOT KNOW WHO POSTED THEM ORIGINALLY. THEY CAME FROM THE GALILEO MUSEUM IN ITALY. THEY WERE CREATED BY GALILEO IN THE 17th CENTURY. IF YOU LOOK AT THE THE SMALL NUMBERS YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY ARE VERY MUCH LIKE THE TWO SIGNS FROM THE BLUFF. IF THEY ARE THE NUMBERS 2 AND 3, THEY CREATE A MATH EQUATION AND A TRIANGLE WHICH MIMICS A TRIANGLE NEAR THE BLUFF HIDDEN IN A SMALL CAVE LIKE OPENING. IF THEY ARE THE EQUATION THAT SOLVES THE NUMBER THEN I CAN SOLVE THE TRIANGLE BY MEASURING THE TRIANGLE AND DEVELOP THE HEADING AND BEARING LINES AND HOPEFULLY I CAN DIG UP SOMETHING THAT SOLVES THE MYSTERY OF THE BLUFF AND MINE.
I MAY BE ABLE TO FINISH THE BOOK. I HAVE 13 CHAPTERS DONE AND I HAVE BEEN IN A HOLDING PATTERN FOR TOO LONG ON THE BOOK, AND I AM EAGER TO FINISH IT AND GET IT PUBLISHED. I HAVE STARTED THE PROCESS OF RESEARCHING PUBLISHERS SO NOW I'M TYPING WITH MY FINGERS CROSSED.

I WILL BE IN TOUCH WITH ALL OF THE FOLKS THAT HAVE HELPED ME OVER THE YEARS TO FIND OUT WHAT IF ANYTHING THAT THEY WOULD LIKE PUBLISHED IF ANYTHING ABOUT THEM.
THANKS FOR EVERYONE'S INTEREST AND HELP.

GOD BLESS.

OKAY, I'M GOING TO JUST PUT THIS OUT THERE. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE FOLKS HERE THAT HAVE DEALT WITH SCALED DOWN TRIANGLES THAT NEED TO BE MEASURED AND TRANSLATED AND CENTERS FOUND ETC... THEN GO OUT AND MARK IT AND M.D. THE PROPER AREAS. THERE IS MORE TO IT THAN JUST THAT. I HAVE ONE IN A SMALL CAVE AND I WOULD LIKE TO BOUNCE IDEAS WITH ANYONE THAT HAS FACTS AND THEORIES.

ANYONE UP TO THE CHALLENGE?

[PROSPECTORMIKEL]

TRIANGLES

THANKS FOR THE RAPID RESPONSE, FOLKS!!

HERE IS WHAT I AM DEALING WITH, AND WHAT I HAVE TO WORK WITH.

I HAVE A SCALED DOWN TRIANGLE, IN A CAVE LIKE AREA, INSIDE THE BLUFF NEAR THE INFAMOUS MYSTERY S/S. I BELIEVE THAT I HAVE SOLVED THE THREE SIGNS. THEY ARE A MATH EQUATION.
IT READS LIKE ( 2 + 3 = THE SUM OF ALL.) THEY ARE REFERRING TO THE TRIANGLE IN THE CAVE. ( I HOPE!)

THE TRIANGLE IS BUILT WITH STONES. EACH OF THE THREE POINTS ARE BUILT (ROUGHLY) WITH A SHOE BOX SIZE STONE ON THE BOTTOM, AND A BRICK SIZE STONE ON TOP. CLEARLY MAN MADE.

THERE IS NOT ROOM IN THE OPENING TO STAND UP, AND I HAVE NOT CRAWLED BACK INTO THE AREA. I HAVE ONLY CLIMBED UP ENOUGH TO SEE THEM FROM THE EDGE. I AM FAIRLY SURE THAT I CANNOT SIT UP IN THE SPACE. GETTING AROUND IN IT WILL BE A GREAT UNDERTAKING, IN MY PRESENT HEALTH, BUT I AM GOING TO PUT GREAT EFFORT INTO MEASURING AND GETTING MY COMPASS DIRECTIONS CORRECT THE FIRST TIME. IT WILL PROBABLY PUT ME IN BED FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, BUT I HAVE TEN YEARS OF WORK AND RESEARCH INVESTED AND A BOOK THAT IS WAITING FOR ME TO GET THIS INFO.

SOOOOOO... I WANT TO GET AS MUCH GOOD INTEL INTO MY FIELD GUIDE AS I CAN. EVEN IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE THEORIES.
SO, DON'T BE AFRAID TO PUT YOUR THEORIES OUT THERE. YOURS MAY BE THE MAGIC FORMULA.


NOW... IF I TAKE THE MATH FROM THE BLUFF, I THINK THAT IT MAY SHOW ME THE MOTHER STONE.

FROM THERE I WILL MAKE MEASUREMENTS WITH A REGULAR S.A.E. TAPE MEASURE, AND WITH A
[ BURGOS LAW, VARA TAPE ( IT HAS THE ACTUAL MEASUREMENTS THAT WERE SET IN THE 1500'S WHEN THE SPANISH WERE FIRST EXPLORING THE AMERICAS.) THE TAPE IS BROKEN DOWN INTO THREE SPANISH FEET, AND SIX SESMAS (SEXMAS) AND FORTY EIGHT DEDOS.] THE OVER ALL MEASUREMENT IS ONLY A FEW ONE HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH DIFFERENT THAN THOSE USING PULGOTOS RATHER THAN DEDOS.

BURGOS WAS THE REIGNING CAPITOL OF SPAIN IN THAT TIME. IT MAY STILL BE, I AM NOT SURE.

ONCE I AM OUT OF THE HOLE I WILL SET A G.P.S. POINT AND MAP IT OUT ON MY TOPO MAP.

THIS IS WHERE I AM GREATLY LACKING!!
I AM NOT SURE HOW TO READ THE THREE IDENTICAL STONE MARKERS. IF THEY WERE ONLY SINGLE STONES I FEEL THAT I COULD FIGURE IT OUT, BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY INFO ON THE STACKING AND PLACEMENT OF SHAPED STONES.
I HOPE I CAN FIND INFO CUT INTO THE FLOOR OR WALLS, BUT I CAN'T COUNT ON IT.

IN A NUTSHELL, I CAN GET MEASUREMENTS AS SMALL AS DEDOS [FORTY EIGHT DEDOS] PER VARA OR SIXTEEN DEDOS PER SPANISH FOOT (PIE)] AND MULTIPLY OR SESMAS [ ONE SIXTH OF A VARA]
GETTING THAT INFORMATION WAS A REAL PAIN IN THE NECK FOR A LONG TIME, BUT I FINALLY FOUND IT BY GOOGLING BURGOS "LAW". I HAD TO MAKE MY OWN TAPE AND ATTACHED IT TO A "ONE VARA" LONG WALKING STICK. I AM HOPING THAT IT WILL SIMPLIFY THE PROCESS ONCE I KNOW HOW TO ACTUALLY PROCESS THE INFORMATION.

WOW. THAT WAS A LOT OF INFO, BUT THAT IS WHAT I HAVE TO WORK WITH.

NOW IT IS YOUR TURNS TO STEER ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.


THANKS IN ADVANCE.

OKAY FOLKS. USING OLD DOG'S INFO ABOUT TRIANGLES, I HAVE REVERSE ENGINEERED THE CREATION OF A FICTIONAL SCENARIO, I SET THE CACHE AND MEASURED OUT THIRTY UNITS OF MEASURE TO THE MOTHERLY STONE STACK. THEN I MEASURED BACK UP THE LINE AND PLACED MY SECOND STONE AT ONE UNIT. THAT LEFT ME NEEDING 9 UNITS, SO I SWUNG AN ARCH AT 4.5 FROM THE SECOND STONE(THAT SET THE DIRECTION)THE SECOND STONE THAT IS. THE THIRD STONE NEEDED TO BE 4.5 UNITS FROM THE MOTHER STONE THAT MADE THE PERIMETER OF THE TRIANGLE 10 UNITS X 3 EQUALS THE ORIGINAL 30 UNITS AND SENDS YOU BACK TO THE CACHE.
I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DOUBLE STACKED STONES IS TELLING ME FOR SURE, YET. I HAVE A LITTLE TIME... MY OLD FRIEND SAM CALLED ME A FEW DAYS AGO AND HE WANTS TO GET TOGETHER SOON TO CATCH UP AND TO FILL ME IN ABOUT WHAT HE WAS FEELING THAT LAST TIME THAT WE WERE UP THERE DUE TO ALL OF THE BEAR SIGNS THAT WE SAW.
HE AND HIS SON, ELI, WERE LOOKING AT BEAR WALLOWS AND SCRATCHES EIGHT FEET UP THE POLE. I AM AT THAT POINT IN THE BOOK SO I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HIM, SOON.
IF ANY ONE HAS ANY MORE INFO ON THE DOUBLE STACKED STONES, PLEASE POST IT.

THANKS FOR ANY HELP YOU FOLKS CAN COME UP WITH.
