Lost Dutchman Goldmine

Hola amigos, I read the posts and fear that there may be some reading between the lines so to speak, which resulted in a misunderstanding. I don't think Joe intended his questions to come across in a hostile manner, I think he was simply curious about WW's familiarity with the Camp ore and any assoc...

Hola amigo Ronn, Muchas gracias for the very kind words, and no you are not pestering! In fact it is wise to learn some geology if a fellow wants to hunt for a lost mine even if only from an armchair as some of us do. I am not sure which post you are referring to as I get carried away very easily on...

WWJohnson wrote Anyone wanting a serious analysis would never accept a lens application unless the sample was such a clear cut example of one form or another. Even then, a serious analysis would demand a piston cylinder, pressure, heat analysis at the least. If I truly wanted to know the type of for...

PS <as if my last post were not long enough> WWJohnson wrote In an independant analysis done seperate from Mr. Glover's ore analysis, the Camp Ore was found to be Epithermal in composition. May I ask who or whom performed the independent analysis? Is this analysis published in a source we can access...

Hola amigos, This got to be an extremely long reply, out of necessity in order to address the many points covered. I am sorry for my inability to condense these replies, and ask your indulgence. I will make every effort to keep things more brief in future. Ben wrote Is this statement true why yes it...

Hola amigo Joe <and everyone reading this>, <you wrote> I understand what you are saying, but gold is where you find it. Sometimes you may find it on top of a hill, with no outcropping close enough to create a placer in that spot. You know it had a source, but how did it go uphill? Could this piece ...

Joe wrote Are you discounting glacier deposits? No - the gold picked up by glaciers still had to be first deposited into a rock host, then later removed. Gold does not spontaneously form placers out of the aqueous solutions it was dissolved in, in order to form a placer it had to start 'life' by bei...

HEY Ben! Same to you! (Hoping you have a great evening, that is!) Thank you Ben , Joe and Pip <and all other contributors> for the interesting discussion, one that actually forces the brain cells to spark a bit rather than their usual lazing around up there. Guess I will sign off too, have a little ...

Ben wrote Your point about placers can only form where significant lode deposits exist is challenged by the beach deposits in Nome, Alaska, and more significantly the Rand Deposits of South African. I think you may be mis-interpreting what I said; I said that a placer can only form from a lode (in e...

Joe wrote I once made up a story and posted it in TreasureNet. It was historically and geographically correct, but was pure fiction. At the end of the story, I posted that I had made it up to demonstrate how stories and maps could be made believable by someone with a fair grasp on history and the to...

Whoops that one sentence should read "Tartessus is one and the same with the Tarshish of the O.T." rather than what I posted, which implies that I am taking the position that the new site discovered in Spain IS Tarshish, which is quite possible but not yet proven.

Joe wrote Atlantis has more I found its than the LDM . That is a fact! In this instance, the ancient site in Spain may really be quite a different 'lost city' - Tartessus, which was destroyed in that time period and was located in the same general area. It is the 'Tarshish' of the O.T. Plato tells u...

Hola amigos, I am not going to post the full quotes I am replying to, with an eye to keeping the overall length of this post shorter. <Ben wrote> <snip>I would keep in mind that Joe has never presented any proof the monuments ever existed. So we should consider the existence of those monuments as on...

Hola amigos, This is a terribly long reply, out of necessity in order to address the numerous points recently posted. I have to ask your indulgence yet again, thank you in advance. <Joe wrote> I must respectfully disagree with much of what is quoted above. First of all, I was not talking about the d...

Hola amigos, This is another VERY long reply, so I beg your indulgence, thank you in advance. <Joe wrote> Plato, IMHO, was creating a fictional utopia, and as such, mundane things like crops and such were not required in the story and so they are not covered in "Atlantis: Fact Or Fiction"....

Tag post - great article Mike!

Hola amigos, Ronn I thank you as well for those kind words. I don't have any other sources to suggest, but would like to address one point that is a common mis-perception. <you wrote> Many people have made a fortune just writing about the LDM. I think this is a commonly held belief among many people...

Hola amigos, Paul wrote There is something I've read that I'd really like to try to do some further research/investigating into - if you're interested, I'll send you a PM or e-mail after you read the article and see if you'd be willing to try to help me out. It may lead nowhere (so far that's where ...

Thank you Cubfan - I had only bothered to check with the NYT archive, as the article Joe provided the link to mentioned that it was published in the NY Post so assumed it would be in the Times, plus I don't have access to the 'paid' newspaper archives and can only search the free sites. If it was no...

Hello again, While I was composing my last very long reply, a bit more conversation passed and I would like to address it. <Joe wrote> Ben, I don't have a problem bowing out of any conversation with you, so feel free to keep the dialog with Roy going. You will get more out of that than my sarcastic ...

Hola amigos, This will be another very long post, please be patient with me, if anyone does not care to 'wade' through the whole thing I will not be offended. Wish I could say that I am a "man of few words" but it takes me 1000 words to say what others can do with ten. Thank you in advance...

Hola amigos, This will be a VERY long reply, so I must beg your indulgence again. Thank you in advance; B wrote Hello Oroblanco, Odd I was told by an associate someone very close to you has indicated they discovered Atlantis. Probably a mis-understanding. No misunderstanding, however I would have to...

B wrote The next thing we know some one will appear that claims to have found Atlantis. And who knows maybe a temple built to honor Poseidon is buried deeply under Freemont Saddle. And perhaps this helps explain the obervatories and canals that were built all over the range. Even the locals eventual...

Mike wrote Roy, You seem to keep leaving out a key part of the Jesuit story that I refer to constantly; Namely the fact that the Jesuits HAD to have known what was coming. Perhaps you missed a part of my previous post, I was not leaving that part out of the Jesuit story; Hence, if the 'roundup' of J...

Hola amigo Mike (and everyone) One more point on the Franciscan possibility; the stone maps would not be something created in a matter of minutes. Hence, if the 'roundup' of Jesuits were truly like the sting operation as they would have us believe today, they may well have not had time or opportunit...
