One of my searches this yr
?Will be
"The (A!) Cave of Silver" !
This
"Cave!", may be associated with A Lost Jesuit Mission & It's Gold/Silver Cache !
,
In, The Same General area.
Both! Are located right along the Az/Mex. Border.
Roughly, About !, 12-14 miles, due east of Nogales, AZ.!
This area is SO!
Spooky! That the early Indians/Mexicans, would not go anywhere near it!
The Mission was actually relocated/found, back in
The Late 1940s!But!
This finder, was killed,
OH! YES! You, of faint heart...! :
BE WARNED! The Area
IS! FULLY CURSED! He Was Killed ? By, one of the LARGEST STORM/FLASH FLOODS EVER! recorded in this part of the country !
But!
Luckily, Not before his partner had a roll of film, given to him, by the 1st Partner, developed that
show the Mission and it's Treasure Cave!
NOW!I said, "SHOWED
THE ! MISSION !"
I didn't say, THE! LOcation!
When the 2d partner got back from a resupply run, his partner's camp was gone!
A search was made by the local Sheriff's Office,
But!
The First Partner's, body was never found!
NOW!The Cave of Silver WAS FOUND!
Back in the Early 1960's
By a Husband & Wife, Who!, while out on a Prospecting/Rockhounding Trip!
" & " Who/were
Serious "P & R'ers" ,
Not! Just, Your local weekenders !
The cave, has been described to me!
By the "H & W" Team,
As having pure silver veins running thru & top/bottom, & around, the surrounding walls!
The "Silver" was described to me as being "Sparkling" !
NOW! We all know! :
That "native silver", looks more like "lead", a, dull gray color, when exposed to the air!
So!
I expect that the "silver" is really, what is called, "
Ruby Silver" !
Which has, small shining, crystals,
reddish in color, thus it's name, "Ruby Silver", as part of it's make up!
I'll be glad to write/publish more on this story of the Mission/Cave, if interest warrants? Linkback: You are not allowed to view links.
