Re: Silver Bar Found North of Government Well

Hey Buddy. There is no question at all. Like I posted, "The Great Western Smelting & Refining Co. NEVER manufactured precious metal ingots." They made Nickel Babbit Ingots. If you see the four X's, THAT is the quality(hardness) of the Nickel babbit.

Re: Silver Bar Found North of Government Well

I know this is an old thread, but I had been going through a bunch of old stories, seeing what interested me enough to maybe spend some time on. This was one of those stories. The casting had that old "Style" look to it. The rubbing is great...exceeeept for one thing (actually two): When M...

Re: The triangle and the 10

A triangle 10 could also be a joint effort between Izhmash and Bulgaria. Can't wait to see the mags If that was a joke, put a smiley or something. :-) If not, don't be so quick to dismiss Teamfever. They are a bunch of VERY sharp people, and they have been at this for quite while. You can see some ...

Re: The triangle and the 10

Hey Harry, I haven't been on here for some time. Glad to see you here. I tried getting ahold of you through Feldman's LDM Forum, but never got a reply. Shame that site died out. Too much BS and conflict. I am very glad to see y'all are still at it. I don't know if you have seen it or not, but in 201...

Re: Damage to Clues or Markers

Hello Spirit, I know I am resurrecting an old thread, but possibly you may get email updates from here. I believe Rex Western was talking about a story associated with a cave story that may be meshed from a few different stories or maybe a few stories that sprang from one (I can't be certain). Story...

Re: Pegleg's Lost Mine

Yes. It was confirmed that the letter sent to the editors of Desert Mag was a hoax. Dwindling magazine sales caused them to make up the story. I was also the one to post the picture where you can see the spray paint on the wrist. The PegLeg Black Gold Nugget Story is NOT a hoax as several examples o...

Re: all the stones and crosses including the latin hearts /r

There is also a very good chance the trail maps were set into the floor of the Arizpe Mission in Mexico until the late 1800s. May be why we have a cross on the side of one and "DON" on the side of the other.

Now, how they got from Arizpe, Mexico to Queen Creek Az is another question.
