Another pause for the cause… Fill up the gas tank and my stomach. It is unbelievable how much traffic there is on Highway 10 on Christmas Eve! Truck Stop restaurant has a waiting line to get a table. Doesn’t anyone stay home for Christmas any more? Or, is everyone trying to get home for Christmas li...

Buscar, I like your logic. Without diving too deeply into why at this time, (Since I am on a laptop via cell phone connection) I will offer you my simplified opinions of the stone maps, and some of the theories presented by a few of the major players in their legacy. Although it has been suggested b...

Roger, No offense taken at all. I allways enjoy your posts, even when they back me up a few steps. We all need to be reined in at times. The farther one gets off into a wrong direction, the harder it is to get back on the right track. I do appreciate your clear expression of your opinion and value i...

Roger, Thanks for the Kenworthy background about his study on the maps. I wasn't aware of anyone taking infrared photos of them. I fully agree with you about the possibilityof errors in the reproductions and I have been considering that. I do believe though that the latex mold process is a little mo...

Re: The Priest Map
Sorry about the double post Joe, I intended to edit out an error and hit the QUOTE button by mistake. Quoted myself resulting in a double post. Eggnog? Yuk! It sticks in my throat!

The Priest Map
Gentlemen, I was looking at Brad Coopers photos of the stone maps in the members archive section of this website and noticed something on his photo of the priest map that cought my attention. Just below the priest's robe and above the 1847 date there appears to be some scratchings that cannot be mad...

Joe/Gary, It is always nice to have FACTS, but when they do not exist or cannot be found we can only fall back on logic and reasoning. I can’t offer any facts on the subject of Julia selling tickets for people to talk to Waltz on his deathbed, but I do have a strong opinion about it. First of all, i...

Scientific evaluation of the stone maps
While on the subject of scientific evaluations, I am still trying to find the post that discussed the FBI evaluation of the stone maps that was supposed to have been done when Bob Corbin was interested in them. I have searched this site over and over and cannot find any reference to it. If I remembe...

Thanks Roger, That’s quite a detailed summary and it is appreciated! I can add a little. It falls right in with a 4 page email I got from Jim Hatt about 6 months ago. In the email he states that he first got interested in the stone maps in 1991 or 92 when he attended a presentation on them given by ...

Perhaps the crosses are more of a historical record, rather than some kind of treasure map.

I suppose one could come to that conclusion if they had never translated the words on the crosses.

Joe, You are asking the wrong person. I am rather new to the Bilbrey crosses compared to some of the members on this site. I've just been keeping an ear to the ground for historical events in 1751 because that year appears on one of the crosses. An Indian uprising could explain how them came to be l...

Great find Roger! Did you happen to notice how many times the year 1751 appears in the text? Seems to have been a very important date in Jesuit history! Is it just by coincendence that the year 1751 also appears on one of the stone crosses that Mike Bilbrey found? Hmmm. Sure makes you wonder doesn't...

Joe, I always thought Chuning learned about the mine from Deering? Being in print is not a criteria, but if there is no recorded history about a person then I have no story to tell about them right? Roger, I have a list of 212 names. I need to truncate the list in a big way. The real thrust of what ...

Joe, I understand that my research may be incomplete. I was undecided about including Deering, I know he came here to specifically look for the Two Soldiers Mine, (according to Ely anyway) but to date it has not been determined if that mine is the Dutchman's mine or not. Are there any books, magazin...

Dedicated Dutchman Hunters

Re: The Quiet Lyon
The whole idea of this "secret code" seems far fetched to me. It does not fit with the actuall events of the time. Are we to believe the Jesuits, and others, were hiding the king's share of gold and silver and using the king's code to draw maps to the locations of the loot? Just how stupi...
