One of the challenges of treasure hunting is sifting through all of the tall tales and getting to the truth of whete something might be. Thats part of what makes it fun as well.
Yes, I agree! You discover a lot about history along the way, things that have been forgotten except in old newpaper or magazine articles as one searches for the truth. Cheers, Greg Hawk
Thank You! Jim and I do a lot of research on the stories and try to interweave history into the treasure story to make it interesting. Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers, Greg Hawk
Thanks Bob! We have two coming up later that I am working on. One about Bob Brow's Saloon and the Lost Safe from the Walnut Grove Dam Disaster of 1890. It has a lot of history to it when Arizona wasn't a state yet. The other story takes place up around Horse Mesa which is north of Canyon Lake so stay tuned. Cheers, Greg Hawk
I found two mine portals directly west of tumacacori mission in the mountains. Have seen other workings without holes. Often run into treasure hunters over there.
There have been treasure hunters looking for the lost Spanish treasures for over 100 years out there and some make it their life's ambition to find the treasure. To me it is reason to get out and hike and see the beauty of the desert and whether I find something or not it doesn't really matter. Greed is a funny thing that some can't turn loose of and they waste a valuable part of their life and others looking for the treasures that may have never existed. Keep enjoying the desert as you have. Cheers, Greg Hawk
@@randomtangents5204 I couldn't agree more. I wonder of what use the metals would have been before the spanish arrived.l, or during early colonization. Seems we today have forgotten what is truly valuable on life. Hiking is an excellent way to put life back in perspective... I saw that mine entrance west of tumacacori peak. I hope to go back and peak in the gate. I have explored the next drainage west where you thought it poked out. I didnt see it but wasnt looking hard. I need to go back and see again where it is.
If you saw the old mine entrance with the steel gate across it then if you go up on the ridge above it and to your left there, I believe, is a vent hole for that tunnel and if you go right for aways there is a covered up shaft that you can see the tailings from over in the next drainage. They must have been chasing something so one should research old mining claims to possilby get an idea of when it was mined last. It is all an adventure! Cheers, Greg Hawk
Glad you enjoyed it! There is a wealth of history in Arizona from mining, old stagecoach routes, ghost towns, and riverboat traffic on the Colorado River. Cheers, Greg Hawk
When you showed the picture of the two level trough 6 months prior, what's that big mound in the background? The middle part of it looks manipulated somehow
Can't say what the big mound in the background is. I didn't photo shop or manipulate anything though, it was just different times of the year and from a slightly different angle. Cheers, Greg Hawk
I had the pleasure of visiting Mission San Xavier Del Bac2 yrs. ago. I hadn't heard about the mice and cats though. I did find a book in a nearby thrift store on the mission written by Yvonne Lange.
Arizona is rich in history and there is so much to see. The original foundations to the mission you visited are some distance away and have yet to be fully discovered. Cheers, Greg Hawk
Thank You! We try to bring out the history of the area and use the treasure story as a catalyst for the adventure. It keeps things interesting. Cheers, Greg Hawk
Did you see the real mission or the one they made for the public? The original one is a secret they. Dont let ppeople see or know about.do your research.llook behind what is said for your real facts.
I guess you are referring to the Tumacacori Mission. Through a lot of research by different individuals I believe the original mission was on the other side of the river where soundings have been done locating the old foundations. If you are talking about the Mission San Xavier del Bac, close to Tucson, then that is another story. If you research history and Father Kino's journeys and building of missions you will read where he first laid the foundation to this mission along the river bank. It was never finished and the one today is the one that was built at a later date. Let me know your thougths? Cheers, Greg Hawk
No, this one deals with the Tumacacori Mission which is north of Nogales and south of Tucson. John D. Mitchell wrote two books of treasure stories and they had 12 treasure stories that were based in this area.

@randomtangents5204 oh no I didn't mean by you, I mean it looked like man did something like maybe a marker
@@autotek7930 Will have to go back and have another look. Thanks!

Have you heard of the lost escalante?
Yes, I have read about it but never searched for it. I believe is about mine with the iron door that you are referring to. Cheers, Greg Hawk
Nice job. Thx for the coordinates. I plan to be in the area and have other adventures around Tumacacori Peak I will be exploring.
Sounds great! Greg Hawk
Nice work on this. Great idea sharing the different books used for research. This area and the stories are very interesting.

Seems like it would be really interesting to learn every detail about this.
Is this the one in my area? El paso? I have read several stories about this exact scenario

@@randomtangents5204 oh OK gotcha. This must be a popular story line
