Send me an email if you want. It is avadams at lostadamsgold dot com. Sone of the "bars" were reported to be square, actually. You should be able to assess the density to see if it is gold. Weigh it and then get a "graduated cylinder" or heck maybe even a measuring cup and see how much water it displaces. Then you can calculate the density. You never know, but don't count those chickens until you do some testing and research. And yes, the Museums and Universities will ignore on one hand and then steal your stuff if they get interested in it on the other hand. I have heard personal stories time and time again about that.

What’s your email?

Just changed my pic , that's the actual piece I'm talking about , just in case you can't email me , y'all think ,by looking at the pic this thing could be worth some money , I meen, the piece itself even if it's worthless it's beautiful

Maybe it's something worthless but it's a beautiful piece and I would like to know what material it could be or if it's something important for the History of the State of New Mexico .....

@@robertrodz9112 That's an interesting looking bar. Have to get it tested to see what it is. Maybe a University geology department can assay it with LIBS or some other minimally-intrusive method.

At the entrance :)

@@GrumpyGramps67 Or was it the exit?

The Franklins are interesting. Forget the "Lost Padre" silver mine there - probably not a real thing. I'd explore East of there, in the Jarillas, Guadalupes, Rustler Hills, and down near Eagle Pass if you are looking for bandit loot,

I recommend the Caballos. Really, I had to hold back in this video talking about Doc's *original* discovery in the Caballos. You can still go there, as opposed to WSMR which is off limits.

@@lostadamsgold yeah that my next . Franklin my back yard pancho villa stash . Caballos look promising

The Black Range is about 70 miles south of this location. This is an area that the book Return to the Lost Adams Diggings is focused on. I don't think that the canyon we were in was THE zig-zag, though it did zig and zag. It was not long enough and horses could not make it up it - we had to climb a bit.

The other of my two experiences was in the Burros, south of Bullard Peak. A short-lived, large-scale thing. Sounds like you got to see the same deal, multiple times. Just neat in a hard to describe way. Maybe I will get to see one more before I croak - pun intended! Never seen a big bird, though.

I know there's gold somewhere around Bishops Cap, but that may be the Organs. I bet there some gold in the Franlinks, but maybe minor. Silver seems more likely. Lost Padre Mine is placed there, but I have seen it on an old map far to the East - not sure what range that would be. You introduced me to the Hand of God sign - and there is one at Vic Peak. That kind of sign may have more to do with convenient landmark for burying refined goodies, rather than a mineral deposit.

@@lostadamsgold while going over transmountain......i see signs that day no trespassing coz the army owns it. What would happen if someone were to go hiking up in there and get caught?

@@autotek7930 Do not trespass on the military ranges. Best case: you get charged. Worst case: you step on some UXO and end up maimed or gone. Use OnX or another map resource to check land boundaries. Some areas of the mountains are open, others are part of Bliss, IIRC.

Thanks for the encouraging words, Clint. I am glad that you roam around - some of the most interesting things I have found or seen have come from just being out and about. I rarely go anywhere with a sign, parking lot, or trail name. My email is in the "About" button or put this together avadams at lostadamsgold dot com.

Thanks, I'll plug your channel when I do my next ad hoc one. This one I wanted to be more self-contained and I even wrote it all out ahead of time instead of rambling like I usually do, hah.

Yes, quite the tantalizing list of goodies to ponder. I myself am on the fence regarding the whole thing in totality. I really appreciate your past stated opinions on the Caballos of course since that's a place one can still go poke around ;) To me, topics like this are just as fascinating because of the human element of deception as they are for anything else.

In the Gold House Books, I think it is Drolte who mentions one even *larger* than Vic Peak which is in a nearby mountain range. Hard to imagine just how much wealth is hidden around our dusty little desert - but what better place to hide goodies than where people don't even go?

When I first moved down to the area, people would mention this whole issue but never go into detail. It was not until years later after I started hiking around a lot and talking to locals after hanging out that it became more real. One of my friends knew Benny Saminiego personally. Benny was tight-lipped even to friends and associates. It takes something really impressive to cause that much secrecy among so many people.

Certain individuals got the proceeds from the gold. The "other people's money" in politics/government needs to be addressed, for sure. It is out of control.

​​@@lostadamsgoldlook up Walter burien " the CAFR" there's no debt. his audio is at rense radio archive..if I have a thousand dollars BUT I tell u the budget is 100$, then u understand. CAFR.

It was said after this gold find that the deficiit was declared gone and we had a balancd budget, Kennedy administration allegedly said so.

If you believe the Gold House books... then literally, multiple Presidents of the USA.

This story is so huge, it is hard to get ahold of. Irony is the strongest force in the Universe, not gravity. We can only hope that it applies equally to any scoundrel who may have deprived a rightful claimant of their due.

@@lostadamsgold well said!

Oh great the weather is finally getting good. It's on my list to get down there sometime before the new year. Good luck, and be careful, rattlers stay active almost year round there.

@@lostadamsgold oh thx! And when you come down….. be careful and if you ever want to team up- let me know- we have some great resources.

An interesting guy. Definitely kept people entertained on TreasureNet for years on end. Showed him a few things in the 'Cruces area some years back. Wish I knew how to sort the truth of what he knew from the entertaining embellishments.

@@lostadamsgold I know where turtle rock is!!! We need to sit down and have a chat over some coffee soon. I live in las cruces.

@@rushdawg7282 I think that a map Roger claimed came from his dad has a turtle shown, but that is maybe in off-limits land status. Roger was always suggesting to pushy people that they go places where they'd likely get in trouble of some sort - hah.

@@lostadamsgold he was always full of adventure!!!

There are rockhound clubs in many NM cities. ABQ and Las Cruces for sure. They often have people of varying interests and capabilities as members. There's Facebook groups probably (but I don't really use that much). Also, overlanding or 4x4 groups may have a few people who actually get out and walk around - but not many, LOL. Looks like you are in ABQ SE heights? Sorry to hear about your Uncle, I bet he knew all kinds of stuff.

Send me an email (found in the About button on my page).

@@lostadamsgold thank you for the information. I really appreciate that. I’ll send you an email now.

Unfortunately I can’t seem to locate your email link from my phone. Not sure it wise to leave my email on this feed, but I also checked your website and couldn’t seem to find a contact. I don’t use FB so that wouldn’t work for me. Apologies for wasting your time.

@@findingenoch101 No worries. It is avadams at lostadamsgold dot com

Thanks. I make all this out of love for the subject matter. My email is in the "About" link on the channel. It's avadams at lostadamsgold dot com. Dan is a great researcher - with a lot of strong opinions, LOL! We have traded information over the years. I am completely confidential. Some people have sent me really neat stuff in the past to look at, and it goes no farther than me. I actually found an authentic Laguna bowl at Savers used store about 6 months ago. A Pueblo member stopped me in the store and told me all about it. I gave it to a Laguna lady I know along with 5 pieces of Turquoise for her 5 little boys.

Guess I should have looked closer.. Anyway, shot you an email sir.. :)

Don't forget the FOOD! When it cools off I will be heading that way for some outings and while there eating as much as possible and spending time in the best used bookstore in the region: Coas Books.

Its worth the adventure

As they say "Don't quit your day job". That said, the mountains are beautiful, there is some weird stuff up in there to see, and you may run across other kinds of treasure. I found a beautiful ram's head still attached to the skeleton on a hike last year (it's in one of my vids). Unfortunately, it was not legal to keep, so Fish and Game have it now, but stumbling across that is not something you can get on the couch. I have sat in the Eye cave above Burbank canyon - wild hike to get there and an exhilarating view. Getting out anywhere is good, but I personally choose to go where there is above-average chances of goodies.

@@lostadamsgold thank you for the information I'm just a Pueblo Indian I subscribed to your Channel listen to all your stories except the ones about Utah I mostly about New Mexico treasurer my mother used to tell me stories about Giants in the Manzano mountains and gold

@@tonychapa3330 Hey Tony, the Manzanos are very interesting. I was up there looking for a lost mine when I took the footage for my Quarai Mission video on the way back home. Quarai Mission has a square Kiva - I didn't know that was a thing until I went there. Terry Carter would love to interview you about Giant folklore - and I'd love to hear that interview! From my house I can see Cabezon, and I think the lore says that is what is left of the head of a fallen giant. For some reason "Nistcre" comes to mind as a name for tumbled down stone leftovers of defeated giants, but that may be an Apache thing. Pueblo and other local cultures are part of why I love living in New Mexico!

Yeah, the video of the President or whatever being handed it was hilarious. His eyes were bugging out of his head. It will be interesting to see how they cut it. They'll probably try to get the biggest single one, but there's a chance depending on internal fractures, etc. that there could be several smaller ones that also come from the same biggie.

Yes, *metal* petrified wood. Crazy. So heavy (dense) it is insane. My back still hurts... We did write a paper a few years back. In doing research for the paper, we determined that this material occurs nowhere else in the world with this specific configuration. There are other metallic petrified wood occurrences, one of which is in New Mexico further south but the chemistry is different. Other blue wood like Cholla wood from Turkey and the Chromite wood from over by Grants id green, but not composed of precious metal.

@@lostadamsgold That is fascinating. What was the mode of preservation? Absolutely beautiful specimens and it is rich in copper content.

@@treasurebound Watch the vid where I run electricity through this stuff. It's an older one. We just clean the snot out of it with high pressure water. Then, some specimens get ground down or cut to expose the metal content.

Thanks Clarence. Get a hiking buddy and get out there. Sometimes going slow lets you see stuff in plain sight, so age can be an advantage. I see old trails and roads all the time going 70 mph down the interstate. There's history right on the side of the road. One of the arrastres I know about down by Anthony Texas is 300' from I-25 off an exit. Good luck!

People find can of gold coins in their backyard and famous paintings at garage sales. The thing is, you could search your whole life and find nothing super valuable and others may stumble upon a virtual fortune by accident. Better enjoy the journey. Getting out there yields lots of "treasure" in many forms - health, memories, pictures, rockhound type stuff, etc. - so it is WAY better than the couch, by any metric.

Sounds like you are having fun. Never know what you will run across!

Smarter. Only the strong (minded) could survive in the old days.

I suppose there could be. That name gets assigned to a number of different stories. I do not have any information about that one. Nevada is very mineralized - lots of mines. However, it was not as traveled as other regions such as California, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Utah, etc. I'd start by looking up what old Spanish Missions may have been established in Nevada.

Thanks. You have a huge back catalog. I got some viewing to do!

@@lostadamsgold You better get busy! ha ha ha. Glad you are enjoying thank you.
