[bustedup]

LOL slayer...

Ok so Tuesday morning as I was fixin to hike in he just off the cuff said maybe you'll find that pot of gold. I just laughed it off like anyone else would and went on to work. I told him about finding signs of people stacking rocks years and years ago, and I told him about the spring and the old dim lit wagon road that I took a pic of and posted yesterday. Wednesday he said something like did ya find any Indian burial grounds...as he was laughing. I just went on with it not paying much attention. Yesterday he said something else which I just laughed off not paying no mind. Then this morning as I was leaving he said well maybe you'll find a cave today to look in. I stopped and turned towards him and was thinking to myself..."Ok, this is too many times he mentioned things like this". I asked him what he was talking about. I wear a head lamp on my hard hat at all times due to the fact that I cave as often as possible. I figured he was just messin' wit me. However I have asked every LO I have ever cut on if they have any caves, this LO said No originally. What is he thinking???

Ok so I got to thinking that he thinks there is something on his place right?? I am getting close to it and he is in his way asking just to see my reaction. Well the cave is here! I will be near it within 2 days of cutting.

Rumor has it that Jesse James hid loot in our area. I here this crap all the time. Actualy no a guy that found a full on Civil War cannon in his cave 2 miles from where I am cutting. Bushwackers hid stuff all the time.

So...why is he asking about Indian burial grounds??? No that I think of it he asked yesterday if I found any Indian mounds! I don't really know what to think about it, however the closer I get to where he thinks it is the more little things he says.

The skidder OP's girlie was there this morning when he asked about the cave, she says it is supposed to have ALOT of gold in it but no one can find it! Oh the suspense!

well if ya find a cannon ........don't look down the barrel lol .........the rest hmmm burial grounds may cause ya grief in a way as I'd suspect some may wanna investigate that.......gold lol well maybe but think that might have walked ........however if ya find the lost gold of the CSA you'll be on the news lol

 

[treeslayer2003]

sounds like talk ta me man. could be some artifacts around, that'd be interesting tho. take pics unless there is pot a gold tell no one....... cept me. :msp_wink:

 

[bustedup]

and me ...oh and Jr lol


Did the james boys make it your way???

 

[treeslayer2003]

best I found was a blowed up steam engine beside a mill hole. I have the saw blade

 

[twochains]

So out of all the stories I have heard...this one is just odd! This man is very quiet type guy and a straight shooter. I always pay attention to my surroundings but I am gonna be paying a little closer attention from now on.

I found an Indian burial grounds while hog hunting over in the NF. The Fish and Game guys have begged me to show them where it is...I won't ever show them. I have only carried a couple people up there with me. It is a 2 hour hike up tough mountains...there is 7 waterfalls, caves, bluff shelters, a blown up moonshine still...and of course Indian remains stuck in crevaces in bluff walls and one woman buried in an upright in a fetal position. So it ain't like there haven't been Indians here er nothin...and bushwackers were prevelent int he hill country due to all the caves around here.

I can't get this deal of my mind...Am I going to find something?? How come the LO couldn't find it? He is older kinda heavy set man, maybe he knows I will have covered the area more than any one else...

Skidder OP's girlie said she thinks he bought the place for what he thought was on it... who knows...but I will be lookin'!

 

[bustedup]

eh just remember ta watch the sticks rather than be thinking what there lol

 

[bustedup]

there stories all over around here bout charlie's gold etc .......I think really it what these days the intel boys would call mis information to keep the enemy a guessing lol.

 

[treeslayer2003]

i'd be descrete about it, if ya find sumptin. I let slip bout a grave stone from 1680s. apparently it a sea capt. of some importance. historians buged me but I refused ta show um outta respect for the lo. prolly they overrun her property n tell her what ta do.

During the War the bushwackers hid all kinds of stuff. Yes the James gang was rumored to have come through neighboring counties. I knoe exactly where a CSA stash spot was...was! We had amilitia group near me that called themselves the CSA. But it was Confederate States of America. They went by Covenant the Sword and the Arm of the Lord. They got busted up like 10 years ago but they still around in hiding.

slayer- I know, I know...lots of talk...but why has he been dropping little tid bits to me? He thinks I am getting near something.

 

[bustedup]

If something found here they shut things down and the arch guys move in lol......they open casted round here bout 20 years ago (I falled the trees before they dug) anyways they came across old workings with old read lamps etc and monks graves so they were shut down for months

Well, TC, I am glad you're still with us. I was beginning to think that you had just got to the point of spilling the old man's secret when a rare three fanged copperhead crawled from behind your monitor and nail you. As was said before don't let thoughts of gold compromise your safety. Hope you find something interesting. Ron
