The Spanish Expeditions of the
North
The cache sites in the north are
not the same as the Banditos sites, unfortunately the depositories of the Spanish were not documented
with meticulous instructions on how to find them as in many cases of the
Banditos’ cache sites, but they were meticulously mapped and marked using a
formula of triangulation that had escaped us and has taken us years to discover
its existence and many months to understand the application of it at the many
cache depositories of the many mining districts. Had it not been for arising
circumstances in field documentation and the efforts of one mans ability to
think outside the box, and another’s ability to apply it in the field, we may
still be unaware of its existence.
Since the days of the Spanish Explorations,
driving further and further into the North, looking for the famed 7 Golden
cities of Cibola (Si-Bol-La, Si as in eye) legends have grown, legends of which date back further than
any might think, yet many names have been attributed to this place which in
some legends is considered as 7 cities surrounding a vast lake called Copalla, stemming from the Copal tree or
the smaller variety Copalchi and yet
deriving from the Nahuatl word Copalli
meaning incense. Yet and in more ancient legends this mythical place is always
pertaining to an Island in the middle of a vast lake or sea, and even in few less
legends, associated with a place of the Heron and others a place of turtles or
Turtle Island. Some in Academia would while on one hand trying to convince us man came from a monkey, would set this whole thing down as ridiculous,
yet not a one of them can explain how these legends and surprisingly accurate
draughts existed long before the Europeans were ever thought to have come here.
The Spanish mining expeditions
into the North have been underway since the 1500’s and more so in the following
century. Despite what history has taught in the institutions of programing, the evidences show that Father
Escalante, was following a very old trail.
The Royal funded Spanish
expeditions had a lot to loose; their operations were subject to looting or
hostile take over by, Privateering Spaniards, French expeditions or other and
also the Indigenous. I cannot prove it by any means, but I am certain one day you will
find it to be true, but a true Spanish mine, with something of value left
behind, you will not find it open, as
any mine of value was to be backfilled 10 varas or 30 feet and made to look
as natural as when they arrived. It would also be
interesting to note, that should the Indians up rise and over throw those who would
enslave them, all remnant of the site, the slaughter, including the mine itself,
would be hidden away, and if it had great importance, a particular family
within the tribe is given the commission to keep the mine covered and all
concealed, a practice that continued at least into the 1970’s a little Ute woman who faithfully carried out her commission her entire life.
For many of the reasons given
previously, the Spanish relied upon a system, principle or rule in which to
ensure they could return to the exact spot. Triangulation has always been the
most effective method by which to mark an exact spot by using the principles of
Geometry and or Trigonometry. However, if you were not familiar with the signs
or symbols which were left behind, you could in no wise located the intended
cache location if you were fortunate enough to have received an authentic map.
If those signs or symbols were in some way destroyed, only the memory of one
who had been there before would aid in relocation.
There are many who wish to be a
treasure hunter, there are many who claim to be a treasure hunter and even some
who advertise that they are a professional treasure hunter.
There are many forms of treasure
hunting, metal detecting, chasing the old stage coach robberies, bank robberies
and the like, KGC cache hunters, lost treasures of the ancients, sunken Spanish
Treasure, Spanish cache stories, Bandito’s cache stories and unique stories of
all kinds and from all over the world. Each and every form of treasure hunting
there is, requires certain skills that if you do not posses them, you can at
least enjoy the thrill of the hunt. But the skills needed are more common than
one might think, in fact, those who seem to be most lacking are the self
proclaimed treasure hunters, they are not hard to find, look for those who have
been there done that and they remind you often, beat their own chest, they
create false situations of evidence which they think you can’t see, and should
you show them something new, they already knew it and seen it 20 years ago.
