Ugh why does the gold always have to be cursed? Can’t we find good clean gold?

Jamesfaed The fiat dollar is fiat or paper or digital and causes way way more greed then gold. The devil doesn’t need gold money when a private federal reserve can print indefinitely and then pays a 6%dividend to Wall Street and a 90% franchise tax back to the treasury. I’ve seen many people say gold isn’t needed or bad. But sound money prevents endless war and helps hold corrupt banks and governments more accountable when gold or silver is actually money that workers are paid in.

@herzogsbuick 29 дней назад

for stone, all you can do is date the things in the ground around it, which of course we can't do now. i'm skeptical, but why would a portly old man fake the maps to just dig in the desert all the time? fake a map to show the zimbrinksis or whatever the name of the family with the ranch was here, to get to something you actually know is there. fake a map to convince someone else that it's real, not yourself. this could all be a farce but that would be a very strange way for it to be so

Maybe contacting someone who knows old Jesuit manuscript writings from that time, this could be 50:18 of some help. Spaniards always brought along their priest as they traveled and explored the America's. Many times it was the priest that were in charge of keeping journals and records of their explorations. Perhaps they were also in charge of constructing maps also, yes even of treasure.

@ramirovaldez3061 17 дней назад

This treasure is no different than the treasure that was just recently found by Mr. Carter in Missouri. Most lost treasures have been ciphered using old Templar methods. If you do not understand or know how to read them, you will not find the location. Same as Oak Island, Oliver Levassure treasure map, Peralta Stones, and there are many other maps that have been ciphered the same. I’m thinking that some of you who do not understand the maps are just saying negative things to try to gather information from those who know. It’s an old trick because you don’t want to read history and learn how to decipher the maps. I’m not talking about just history in general, like Oak Island, I’m talking about history of deciphering old treasure maps.

Arnold wasn't the start of the story. The actual beginning of the story lies with the map that he had. Who drew it, how did he acquire it, where did it come from, what are it's origins? That is actually the start of the story. I find it strange, if the "treasure" didn't exist, how he found 3 pieces of the map, digging in places where the previous map told him to dig. What I would have liked to have seen, is his original map, assuming that the map in this video is a modern day fabrication, that is. I do, however, have an "Idea" as to where to resume the search, having looked into this story several years ago, closer to the time when this documentary was actually released, back in 2015.

Here's a way-out-there theory. The hide map could be a map to the stone pieces, which are the true map. I have to wonder if the stone pieces were once a larger stone map that was carved, then broken up and hidden in different areas. But then again, the whole thing could have been an elaborite hoax cooked up by a conman. How does someone who is so obese be able to conveniently and randomly dig up all of the 'proof' of possible treasure at just the right time to get people to support his efforts. Did you notice that the times he was digging up the stones himself that they were conveniently only inches under the surface? Either way, it makes for a fun and intriguing story.
