Not much new there and I'm not sure what I'm even looking at. I dug it out and took a bud there with his p.I. detector once spring thawed but it was full of flying insects and he didn't want to enter. I haven't been back since then but it looked like they were digging out the seam between two different breccias. There are quartz grains within. I found a bunch of other drill holes in the rock face all across there possibly from the same people.
The darkened rock is natural I believe, and moisture stained but I did find mineralization in the area so they must have seen something that interested them.
Or they wanted me to think that, and there's a big treasure chest near by!

very interesting. it would be interesting to be a little psychic and know what was going on there. i found a tunnel off gold camp road that followed a large vein of clay for about 25-30 feet. i dug on in through the clay for a while 2 separate days, but found nothing....... would love to know why someone spent weeks on that spot....i may never know. it too was covered with bugs that i just ignored. i think crusty took a picture of me in there with a swarm on the day he joined me.

Luckily these weren't biting insects hehe. I don't mind the bugs unless they are chewing me up!

Just FYI about the legal stuff. I have been contemplating and researching the "what if I find something". To sum it up is: Go find it and don't tell anyone where it is. Leave it there and go get a treasure permit from the forest service. Go back and recover your treasure. It may be hard to do but that is really the only legal way. Usually the forest service and BLM are reasonable with permits, worst case you will have to take an archeologist with you but the permit and treasure are yours.

I never found a treasure unfortunately but i metal detected the area and found alot of things left by the old miners there around the cabin ruins.
I even dug out a bunch of the tunnel and nothing.
