 The Shawnee Silver Mine. I know from my research it is somewhere in south west Ohio or northern Kentucky.  Some say Kentucky due to the salt mines that the Shawnee would travel to.  Any thoughts on this, or comments?

The mythical silver mines of the Shawnee Indians, as then described, were located in Greene County not far from Old Chillicothe. Stories of their existence have been handed down, as told by both reliable and unreliable white men held captive. These prisoners were marched, always blindfolded, for what seemed a few hours, along the course of Massie?s Creek, east from the village, where they waited under guard until laden with heavy sacks of what they believed to be silver-bearing ore, which they were compelled to bear back to Old Chillicothe. Various attempts to slip their blindfolds enough to see something of the location

Thanks for that info.  I think that would put it near Illinoian Glaciar.

Years ago an old indian said that he knew where it was and looked for it and never found it. The salt trails go all the way to the west of Hocking Hills also good game was taken there.

Cool info, I have been researshing the glaciar maps of Ohio and did see the tip of the Illinoian Glaciar run through Roos County.  It also runs down the Scioto River which dose have some nice gold in it. I have been over to that claim that the GPAA has on the Scioto River and it looks real good for gold I got a little but am going back in the spring.

Sounds like you know whats happening in your neck of the woods. Sure camp just dont own any gold pans. Can make a good shaker box though.
