Anyone want to organize a camping trip up around Hall Valley, hunt around see if we can at least nail down some landmarks from this story?

Geez Coalbunny, way to make the guy feel welcome... Doesn't his profile tell you enough?

Hey chris, it sounds like a fun to me. Can't do it any time soon though, maybe later in the summer.

Hi chrisb5401, welcome to the forums. Make yourself right at home browsing around.

Good luck on the treasure hunting too.
These treasure stories are some great old stories and it would be great to hear about one of the forum members finding one.

Granted, I can be a bit harsh at times while not meaning to do so. But even then, he hasn't done an intro page yet.

I've had days like that too. I bet we all have.

Boogie, consider this- someone comes here and does not provide an intro (has he/she yet? I dunno). And they have one post.

They want to start a group project looking for treasure.
And they have one post.

We don't know who they are. Comparing to you & I, do you know who I am? No. But I have been here long enough folks HAVE met me, most folks know who I am, know where to find me, and while they may or may not trust me or may or may not want to go treasure hunting with me, I think they would be far moe inclined to go with me, Russ or CP than someone they know nothing of.

Of course, one pst isn't much, maybe there is PM contact with others and maybe they already have a better repetoire than I.

But we don't know that because of the few posts made (in this case, one).


That is what I admire so much about Dan & Denise. They have the patience and tolerance I don't have.

The way I see it, you can know someone for a long time on the internet but you don't REALLY know him or her until you've actually been around the person for awhile. Just looking for landmarks... What's the risk? I see it as fun way to get aquainted.

Well heres an idea, how about not replying since you don't know who I am nor do I know who you are. I did not ask you anything simply sending out a general invite for anyone interested. Next time feel free to ignore post of those who you don't know rather than making it a point to be a ***** because you don't know someone. Besides some us us only post when we actually have something to add to a thread not only to see our own posts like you seem to.

Any for anyone who is interested here is the map from General David J Cook's book. Anyone looking for an original copy beware the chapter on the Reynold gang and the treasure was deleted in later editions for some reason. I managed to find a copy buried in the bowels of the internet a while back. As Wham noted it conflicts with Vernon Crow's Account which places the landmarks off handcart creek to the south.

Hi chrisb5401,

Thanks for adding the map and good luck with treasure hunt.

I've edited your post above addressed to Coalbunny. I realize Coalbunny was a bit rough on your first thread/post but that was over a year and half ago. I see no point/good coming from this thread turning into a personal bashing session now.
Let's keep it to the topic at hand and both of you remember the forum rules please.

chrisb5401,

I am still having serious problems finding CP's Geocache #2 after several attempts over a couple of years time. Even using modern GPS coordinates and expensive metal detectors, buried treasure is still very hard to find.

Good luck to all whom seek this historical stash.

Yeah, but that only adds to the excitement! Especially when you find all sorts of other stuff in your search! thumbsupsmileyanim.gif
