I’ve heard that it’s not in the Clippers, it’s in the Old Woman mountains. Schofield said the Clippers to throw people off.
Great story. I sure hope people are prospecting for this mine?
It’s not that lost if you’re pointing arrow at it.
I really enjoy your stories. I am an old prospector and mineral collector on the east coast but I love hearing these old treasure stories where ever they are. Do you ever do any lost treasure stories on the east coast states?
