[SECOND Repost with hopefully improved audio volume. Also, RU-vid Copyright dinged me for some free-to-download music - so confusing... Sorry to those who left comments and likes, I don't know how to save them]
We evaluate an article from Frontier Times 1966 about 96 bars of lost silver. At 63 lbs each, that's over $2M waiting out there under the black sands of Arizona. One bar has been found in the area, as have a number of other colonial Spanish artifacts such as armor and a sword. This tale has a day by day description of the route traveled as the soldiers and padres attempted to escape from their pursuers somewhere up on the Mogollon pass south of Flagstaff. I have been to this area, and there are many signs of past occupation and travel, so this was definitely a crossroads area that makes sense for the tale. Rather than a map, we have been handed down a diagram, the description of the translated Spanish document, and the research of the article's author. Finding the landmarks such as the hill with the red spot, Sierra Azul, and black sand seems key to digging up what must be a shallowly-buried fortune given the desperate straights of the desperate Spanish burro train.
