1542 is the year when Spaniard arrived to Peru with the idea of Gold & Silver in their minds and the current empire at that time were the Incas dominating a vast territory, There has been a system of trails nicely done along the Peruvian Andes at that time where runners called "chaskis" a sort of modern post....but lets leave behind it, the thing is that this trail system became very important at the colonial times when Spaniards begun to transport gold & silver to the fist port of Callao at that time, tons of gold & silver were transported towards Spain by ships sometimes sunken and taken by pirates and corsairs.
Now a days there are remains of this transportation system used by Spaniards. Each mule used to take about 40 kls of gold from Cusco area, gold of the Incas and you know there wee times when mules used to get so exausted and die at places where terrain conditions were so hard with no grass and water the animals used to die and of course several weeks of journey by foot to Lima the capital and still until nowadays was not easy to cover so what happened to the load?
The horsemen used to dig a bit...like 1 - 1.5 meters and berry the treasure, there has been more than 200 years of this fact...using the same system of trail until 1821 when dependence day was declared in Peru.
This is what nowadays still exists and there are a lot of targets along this trail system, hoe it is possible to find locations??...the local people are Quechua language speakers they are the ones with exact information about those places.
Anybody with a good metal detector capable detecting at 4-5 meters deep with target imaging real time, discriminating capabilities at that deep can make possible good findings..!!
drop me your comments if you are interested.
Cheers
