LDM, welcome back after your hiatus !

I do know that the Spangler family was still actively involved in searching for the mine until at least the 1980s, basing most of their search on the clues that Uncle Jim passed on to his family down through the years. Whether or not any of Barks descendents still seek the mine at this time...I do not know.
