Ty for the info, Im not trying to help someone sell a book. I found this info as a new guy very informative. I take more pictures, than dig for gold thats for sure. I thought this may help another guy who wanted to know about the symbols.
I know I cross post from other sites a lot. But theres a lot of regular joes like me who enjoy learning. I can quit posting if Im stepping on toes. I always try to promote the sport.
It seems when I get close to certain subjects it gets quiet. I am stumbling along the same stuff that has already been found before. Its the nuggets everyone walked over I want.
Gold and silver along with other things have been going through my area for at least 500 years of the written word. Even if one in ten of the con mans stories were true, it leads me to stay informed in case I ever come across a marker or cave.
I think that the guy who found a marker did great. That he moved it is tragic. But with the exploration or these areas, more are being destroyed every year.
Maybe next time Ecra finds a marker, he will take pictures, and maybe a gps.
I do believe there is some truth to even a lie.
I do believe there will be some finds in this area, either by accident, or a well trained person. Im not sure I would trust any old signs or markings unless they accompany a actual treasure.
But there is probably more nuggets that can be detected than placer gold panned. Detecting is a lot easier anyway. Treasure Troves are most likey buried so deep, they will never be found.
My fishing buddy from Hatch ran into a homeless guy walking the desert up by Caballo. They guy showed him gold nuggets. Said he found them laying on top of the ground. All this homeless guy did was walk the desert till he found enough nuggets. Sounds nutty I know, but my fishing buddy had no reason to lie.
My point is, if this guy wants to travel the el camino trail, who cares. All he wanted was info on the markers. I took your post to say there was no such thing. I find several post on here about scams and things being non-sense. But then I find lots of info on what people are looking for.
Are you gentlemen hiding something? Or are you too smart for everyone else? Look, its all about fun, and I applaud this site for being accurate, if not anal. Most people do not have your knowledge or experience, and ask for help in good faith. You shoot them down with off comments. Now who is sidestepping, who is the scam?
I dont have to believe in Spanish symbols, or any other form of treasure hunting to enjoy reading about history, and learning about other treasure hunters experiences.
You guys need to learn how to bake a pie. I may be new, but there is no excuse for bad manners. Make it a closed forum if your not looking for new input.
