Hi kydave,
On all the trails 24/7, rebel and I. We research every treasure we can hear of or find on the Internet. I am presently after several Jefferson Davis' treasures. I am searching for a diary. I have bought a book which I have received yet for $155. Only three known copies. I only hope it is not like all the other books and diaries empty from April 1st to May 15.

;D YO! For $ 2.70? GET IT! I found one for $ 4.00; gonna get it in June. Has lots of maps, info of treasures of the world & USA. My sense is the B.T. is seen as a mine cache along the BRP, and we KNOW the WEST side of BRP (Roanoke County, Buchanon County has mines of SILVER, and ORE furnances in the woods/forest of Buchanon County. USA treasures are BEALE, SUPERSITION MOUNTAIN, TEXAS SILVER MINE - SAN SABA MINE in Menard, TX; WORLD treasures, such as RENNE-LE-CHATEAU in France, SOME of which I had NEVER heard of before. ANYWAY...GET IT! GET IT! GET IT! ;D

My best find lately has been 2 key date Morgan dollars, 1885cc and an 1881cc. 2010 "low book" price has them at $500 each. I got'em for $18 each. Guess the guy never checked the dates!

That's treasure too, kydave. I wish I could make buys like that everyday. I know a place where a lady swore she lost an 1804 silver dollar, may go back and look for that one soon. Probably been excavated or deeply covered over but who knows. It needs to be checked out. I need to get access to the Beale Property also and soon before deer season comes back in season.

I threw one down on edge in a "soggy" cementery after a rain when i was about 10 years old playing around then lost my bearings and never did go back years later when i got into metal detecting to search. Graves everywhere now, even mine is only about 15 yards away! Or could i have picked a burial site "exactly" where i lost the Silver Dollar unconsiously? Ha! Ha! Wouldn't that be something? Stranger things have happened!

;D HIGH-TEST! YEP! Did "water-witching" at my OLD "home place" in the Shenandoah Valley; looking for water lines (iron pipes, underground); did good, too! Used metal coat hanger wires, bent into "L" shapes... short end - 3", and long end - 6". It was FUN! (SUNNY out...).

Hi everyone. I am Dave , Aka BMT, BlueMountainTracker. My ultimate passions are basically solving mysteries. Having seen a bigfoot, ufo's and some pretty strange other things, I am convinced that my life is some sort of quest filled with treasures (wishful thinking).Someday maybe...Ill talk about my real passion( a lost treasure) in another post. This one is about my friend and his quest Recently I became aquainted closely with an old friend that is still seeking a treasure from TISOTGH, Treasure: In search of the 'Golden Horse'. This contest ended many years ago, in 1985 I believe (1980-1985), I could be wrong on the dates of the contest. The prize was $500,000 and a small golden horse statue. The solution to this puzzle was never published by its creators, mainly Paul Hoffman, but there were solutions(supposed solutions following the most simpistic formulas) published by several groups of people. Apparently this thing was burried in Colorado on Tennesee Pass. Anyways....It ultimately was donated to a charity when the deadline arrived and nobody solved the puzzle by that date. I got into this truly unsolved mystery becuse I wanted to play the sceptic to my friend and disprove his ideas. I then found deeper connections and clues putting an extra depth on the whole thing. Many believe that other horses (a silver and even a bronze) were burried in other locations. Well, I discovered a very deep connection to the golden spiral and several of the books (you needed this book to be involved) artworks. The creator was deep into chess. I believe chess formulas were added to lead you down another path of thinking. This is just my opinion, but I am finding that the author had more up his tricky sleeve. There was an original/duplicate location but that it was not Colorado or Tennesee Pass. I cannot disclose his findings, but can only say this: Today my friend is traveling to the location he believes to be the original location. After massive research into his ideas, his route of discovering other hidden clues and trying to disprove his solutions, I came to find other deeper aspects of the creator of this puzzle and the people that fell into his snare. I found massive energy that thrives and is well. Aspiration and excitement. A ghost legend if you will, bent on haunting you. I do believe that (and basically I have some really crazy proof of it), that the creator used a Trojan Horse mentality in the gateways of this puzzle which basically created a virus of obsessive treasure hunters which. to this day, refuse to believe that this contest is over. Too many clues point to another treasure and a forrever timeframe in which to solve it. There is a forum of people out there discussing this still. The author wanted attention and still has it. Paul Hoffman, a very interesting puzzle master indeed. Using keywords and mostly doing research into the creators achievements, I came to believe that there was a chess move performed that allowed for the treasure to either be retirved and reburried, or that there were more treasures to be found. When applying some crazy far fetched ideas into some of the puzzles clues, I found another route of information pertaining to some treasure that is emense in some way or another which is yet to be found. It is as if some powerful force is guiding this treasure hunt into the history books with its longevity and that someday there will be more solutions (maybe what the author is waiting for) to this puzzle. I just am still mystified by what I have seen and discovered in trying to disprove my buddy. All I have done is add to his fire. I want to say that this puzzle is deep. I believe that incorporated into the puzzle was the will of the author to be able to reinsert himself into the ultimate final solution once that the other location can be proven to contain treasure or not(castle move). Maybe he was butt hurt becuase there was more to the story and no one figured it out. Who knows? I wish my friend all the luck in the world today and tomorrow as he hikes and photographs the area that Ultimately he believes to contain a duplicate/mirrored treasure which relates to the original story. Maybe the author was making a move and castled up as a defense mechanism for future puzzles or a continuation of his success. I really cant say. All I know is that there are so many treasure seekers still running after this other solution. I am sure many books will come to light once my Pal is ready to go public with his 30 year journey chasing the (real?) solution. Others as well insist this puzzle is still not completely solved and that the authors are withholding the solution until it is completely solved, which I believe is not completely solved as well. it is fun to follow the game solutions and to see what hooked so many people into this infinite search for an original location that may still contain treasure This is a great mystery, and I do believe that the obsessed have a good reason to continue searchin 25 years after the contest ended. That enthusiasm is to be admired. That is why I am wishing all of those seekers good luck today. I hope my friend has some really good luck today on location in the field . I can not wait until he returns to see what he discovered. Maybe you all will have some fun with this old Armchair teaser. There are just not enough of these contests around anymore. Anyone with information on other contests like this that are still alive and well, let me know. I am getting into this kind of treasure hunt. =)

I guess some of these puzzles are for real but i don't think this one was. I don't believe there was any real solution, money or prizes in this one! Just a Genius of an idea by the new owners of "Treasure Magazine" to make a fast buck and sell a lot of magazines! After they went bankrupt the game was all but over! Just my opinion, i threw mine in the garbage after solving that puzzle ha!

Here is one for ya all. This is the treasure that I have spent my time on for the last 8 or so years (crs is so dominant I really do not know for how long). It began in the 1870's when Dorsey Baker ran the Baker Boyer bank and a small railroad in Walla Walla. If you look for the book, Hidden Treasures Of The Pacific Northwest...you will find a blunt story about this supposed treasure. I have read Doesey Bakers diaries and bussiness ledgers (penrose library) and have come to conclude that yes, his train was robbed on July 28th.1877. In all the years of doing his own book work, it was this day that weight was undocumented on his train cargo list (only time ever) of 300 lbs. I also found a document dated Jully27 1877 that lists 12,000 gold coins headed for Portland treasury to be converted to cash. Now, I am pretty sure that after all these years of dowsing and experimenting with other 'Sorceres' tricks, I am pretty sure I found the location of the Gold to within a few hundred feet. (I have an idea that I found its exact location) Does anyone know exactly how I should go about legally laying claim to this cache? I am most certain that I have found the mound that holds two saddle bags of gold and the great(4x) grandaughter (banks president) refuses to discuss this with me or return any of my messages and the land owner wont respond either(he knows not what i am looking for). I also was fortunate enough to track down the oldest safe in washington state, one which Dorsey owned and is now lost to a moving company that is owed storage fees dating back to the 50's. This safe once stored the Gold that is in this story. Its been one heck of an adventure, but I am ready to go beyond research and dig, but its on private property that will soon be declared historic property. What should I do? Sell a Map (even tho I can not gaurantee its location)? I have solved some overlooked clues that puts you in a line to find it and confirm that his train was robbed. the robbery was covered up (and why), etc etc. Should I publish my findings instead and hope for an exodus of treasure seekers interested in lying this legend to rest? In the 70's, thousands of treasure seekers combed the land west of Wallula Junction all the way to McNarry Damn. It was never found because they all misinterpreted one very valuable clue. What to do, what to do. I also have links to some articles on this that I wrote if you all wanna see em, but not sure if I am alllowed to share them. =)
