Brad,

Again, forgive me - we have been out in the mountains since October, so internet time is sketchy, at best, and few and far between.

No, I wasn't referring to the Miller mines - geesh, 2 years ago, you could barely find them - grown over and sediment falling in (actually dangerous, because they aren't marked on the new maps, and all the rain 2 years ago grew the stuff up very high).

No, I was speaking of a group of guys who were scouring the area by the old Bilbrey area - I was told that "they" were looking for a potential shaft, and had been looking for quite some time this past year. (didn't directly talk to them, but another guy who had been out there not too far away from that area). We try not to disturb other folks.

I've been following your posts, as best as I can - waiting to hear - and hoping, there are pictures!!!

Darn, i'm still a newbie, cant view any files . . . if i admitted to what i found and what i did with it, not proud of that, was mistake and not of monetary value . . . now i feel better . . .

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

If you aren't familiar with Bilbrey, here is a link you can read from Jim Hatt about it.

You will see that the claim filed was down Peter's Canyon Trail. (not near Tortilla Ranch, but, you do have to pass it).

The map is no longer on the site, but, the claim papers are.

So, I guess that wasn't you guys down there.

I sure hope that it is found before I die - I'd hate to find out where it is after!!!

Good Luck,

Mrs.O

Hi Brad,

I was just curious - it was quite a site to see that group - were there for at least 2-3 weeks, though I don't know if they came and went, or what.

I'm not sure your senator can help you out. A piece of ore certainly won't. You cannot get a Treasure Trove permit on a mine (though, if you found a cache, that would be different).

Your only chance (and it is slim), is to document every single thing - assays, directions, pictures, coordinates (gps) and heavy-duty documentation. Unfortunately, in Wilderness, it's pretty much hopeless.

However, with any luck, all of the folks in the Sierra Club and Nature's Conservancy will get a Russian cold, and they will turn our land back over to us (I'm not holding my breath), but, I'd be "sampling" a whole lot
