A day turquoise rockhounding near Kingman Arizona

On a nice Monday morning me and the girls Marina age 8 and Morgan age 6 decided to go out and find some Turquoise. We headed out form Needles CA and headed north through Bullhead city to Route 68 towards Kingman, we took that to 93 and headed towards Vegas. Less then a few miles from there is a road called Mineral park road. well up that road a few miles then off road for a bit and you come to a pile of rocks that are dumped out of the mine as waste rock.

We were not on site for more then 2 min before we picked up our first piece of Turquoise. After the girls seen what we were after the treasure hunt begin. They were finding it every where and some were fairly large rocks with sizes from 8 to 10 inches.

Below is a picture of the girls and some of their finds while we were on site. Also note in the background is the rock pile we were working.

Now we had all the proper tools for the job but never really used them. We had and used the bucket to keep all the rocks in it and had to use a rock hammer a few times to loosen a few that were jammed in but other then that were just picking them up with no effort.

I would suggest if you’re going to spend some time there like more then a few hours get one of those 3 pronged rakes and maybe a set of good knee pads. We were there in just jeans and running shoes and had no problem.

below are a few pictures of what the turquoise will look like in the field, remember any thing that looks from green to blue is worth picking up and looking at.

If you’re interested in going to the site just email me and ill give you better directions to get there. If you have kids and are comfortable going off road this is a great afternoon for the family.

The oak island heavens is yet to be investigated, the possibility the stars may have merit in solving oak island altogether may hold-true. Through out the ages man has been looking to the stars for answers whether its astrology or planetary alignments the earth’s center north pole and south pole axis play a role; 25,800 years to complete one earths axis wobble cycle.

Could it be possible the oak island stone triangle may be made by a advanced ancient nomadic culture that were knowledgeable in star-earth rotation? in the American continent the builders of the south American great temples,aztecs,mayan and even the olmecs would have this kind of sophisticated knowledge.

Just what could be in this area of nova scotia to have this very old construction built, solving the oak island stone triangle can give a answer when and possibility whom did this oak island setup. If the oak island stone triangle is a astronomical time dial of sorts does it mean the end of time or a beginning of time or somewhere in-between?

A time line in earth’s 25,800 year precession axis wobble would give a accurate raw date of this oak island setup right from the oak island stone triangle calendar. This is why the oak island stone triangle could not be deciphered because its meaning is more than likely is hidden in the earth’s precession axis wobble. With this egyptian spinx, pyramid star dating we could also apply this same 25,800 year earths wobble precession to this oak island triangle theory of mine.

We already know that the oak island stone triangle is pointing towards north, but is has a stone line through it that points in a more accurate direction north this is the precession line through the stone triangle of the earth wobble? In my believe the oak island money pit stone may have been trying to explain this precession in symbols, like the line through circle symbols (south/north). The south end of oak island where the stone triangle was discovered was a potential ancient astronomer star observatory area. You could only imagine what the birch island triangle star observatory area would tell you.

By Keith Ranville

Oak Island, one of Nova Scotia’s most talked about mystery, the oak island popularity has dwindled in recent years, but since the Shag harbor investigation has received so much media attention, a new oak island theory has developed in Nova Scotia, a short time ago. For those that are new to the oak island treasure mystery, the mystery has been an ongoing controversy since the money pit was discovered in 1795. It was in 1803, a flat olive tinted oblong stone, with mysterious symbols was engineered out of the lengthily depths of the money pit.

The treasure stone was unsuccessfully ciphered, by the original founders of the money pit and later the stone was cemented into a fireplace on Oak Island for safe keeping. It wasn’t till many years later the stone was dislodged from the old fireplace, by a new generation of determined treasure hunters, and brought to a local linguistic school teacher for examination. Where it was given a satisfying reading for the eagerly awaiting treasure hunters. The linguistic school teachers symbol translations seemed, too made to order for a treasure hunt, but it was a acceptable cipher, for the group of treasure hunters, to assume funds to further there oak island excavation’ exploration.

“Forty feet below two million pounds are buried” was believe to be the translation by the linguistic School teacher. Never the less, the controversial cipher, did not solve anything or give no clues, other than the treasure was in an “x” amount of feet in the ground somewhere?

It wasn’t until summer 2005, a new oak island money pit stone translations came out of obscurity, a translation I made, that’s indifferent from the past, made to order school teacher cipher. My new translations of the symbols wasn’t based on a swap for character symbols for letters, but, a translation that was translated as easy as describing the shapes of the inscriptions themselves. But the triangle clues, on the money pit stone is what caught my eye the most, they gave me incentive to search for triangle images on, and around Oak Island.

(The birth of Birch Island)
Is there something to this new money pit symbol cipher? Well the previous cipher explains what may be under ground somewhere? My translation tells a story, of what to look for on Oak Island and what to search for around Oak Island. Some can say, my new oak island symbol translation could be made to order like the linguistic school teachers, treasure hunt driven cipher. But, this does not explain the newly discovered large island triangle clue, I made from my money pit symbol’ research translations, nobody new about the birch island triangle, until I disclosed it from my ongoing research.

Birch Island triangle, a second treasure island in a bay of about 500 islands off the coast of Nova Scotia and neighbors, Oak Island. The birch island triangle’s surface takes up a large portion of the island, with the triangle pointing in a southerly direction. Another triangle clue that also strengthens my triangle theory, this would be the oak island stone triangle formation, a well documented triangle clue, which was found south of the money pit. This also led me to the discovery of Birch Island.

Calling all the treasure hunters and metal detectors and general
rockhounds out there, its time to write that book you have been
talking about for ever. Let’s get it from your head to other
peoples hands. And by doing so you might actually make more money
then you spend in this hobby, it’s to late for me I will always be
buying a bigger motor home or a better dredge or detector, but there
may still be hope for you. Stephanie my lovely wife still lets me
believe it’s ok to enjoy the things you love to do and it’s not
really a disease lol.

Yes I know what your thinking where’s mine, lol, well it has taken
this long to find someone willing to do my editing, Having been
educated in a public school in southwestern PA has left my basic
English skills a bit lacking, I was able to get through college,
even though that took 20 years while I was traveling around the
world the whole time, by doing the minimum in any thing related to
an English class, could be why I ended up with an engineering
degree. Ok back to the editor, I have finally found someone that
looks at it as a challenge, to take my words and make them
presentable to the general public and not go running out of the
room crying and screaming.

Dr Cynthia Porter has agreed to take on the task of making my work
grammatically correct, now I think she is actually using me for
another thesis of how some one can do every thing there is to do
wrong in the English language, do it really wrong and still tell a
story that will be of interest to others, but only time and another
PHD for Cynthia will tell me if I am right on that one. So take a
few minutes and visit her blog at
http://www.aspiringwritersresources.com/
And if you have a desire to ever write a book or novel get on her
mailing list also.

Now back to getting you published, its a lot easier then you think,
with all the new changes in the internet there are so many options
to going for a straight ebook or doing self publishing where the
books are printed and shipped as they are ordered so there is no
out of pocket cost to the author.

If there is any interest from any of the readers I will continue
with this series and cover more and more and even make some of our
products available to those that are trying.

If your not sure your ready to jump into the book right away there
are a lot of other things you should be doing to get ready from the
basic squidoo lenses I covered in a previous one and is totally
free so if you haven’t get signed up there and even if you don’t do
a lenses help by rating the lens of the people out there doing
something to advance the treasure hunting and metal detecting
hobby. That free sign up is
http://www.squidoo.com/lensmaster/referral/gregmulac

And to doing a blog like the one I directed you to of Cynthia’s or
my treasure one also. here there are options and the only
determining factor is the amount you want to invest in it, it goes
from free to a lot, so it all depends on what your end goal is, if
its the hobby and making a few extra dollars the free route is
fine, If your looking to retire its going to take some investment.

So again let me know by either email, a comment on the blog or get
to me some how and I will continue this if there is any one out
there that it can help.

And in case you’re interested I work on the book regularly now that
I got someone to finally fix it for me, still working on a title
and may do something where I get the readers to suggest one or have
a contest with the best ones receiving some great prizes.

Still having fun in Vegas, so if your out west let me know.

In the median summer of 1795 three young men journeyed to a deserted island off the coast of Nova Scotia. Daniel McGinnis lead the expedition, exploring their newly discovered island now known as Oak Island.

Daniel and his two friends Anthony Vaughan and John Smith came across a round pattern encircled into the ground next to a large oak tree with a branch and a decayed wooden pulley over hanging this sunken earth area. It was presumed to be some kind of pirate treasure cache marking.

This was the beginning of an era that aroused fortune seekers for well over 200 years. Many years later the aged men Daniel, Anthony and John exhausted all their time and energy digging into this challenging treasure pit.

Many generations of treasure seekers carried the McGinnis burden of failing the money pit. Six lives were lost trying to find the treasure secret, along with many other treasure hunters gone to there graves defeated by the Oak Island pit.

The money pit is located on the eastern region of Oak Island, the pit itself has been engineered to depths well over 200 feet over the years. Smiths cove, an artificial beach area close to the money pit is connected by a man-made tunnel. In 1803 a mysterious etched stone was found 90+ feet down in the pit but it went missing in Halifax

Smiths cove also turned up a stone with similar etchings that was reportedly found on the money pit stone. A stone formation of a triangle was found south of the money pit, but it was destroyed by past treasure hunters.

The analysis of Oak Island clues may have changed the direction of the treasure hunt altogether according to me Keith Ranville a now prominent First Nations Oak Island researcher. I examined the Oak Island clues with my native studies, which lead the treasure hunt off Oak Island to a large triangle on an island called Birch Island, located east of Oak Island.

Three centuries have conjoined since the 1795 discovery and treasure hunters are still actively working on solving this Oak Island mystery. Oak Island itself has changed hands many times over the years but treasure hunters still reside on the island. Yearly, early summer annual information potluck gatherings happen in celebration of the history of Oak Island. http://oakislandmoneypitblogspotcom.blogspot.com/

Oak Island Treasure News
“Da Vinci code” continue’s to  Mayan civilization, Keith Ranville’s
Rosslyn chapel research gives a updated clue of a Mayan temple depicted
in Rosslyn’s Chapel’s mason art. Rosslyns new world corn,
beneath the Corn a Maya ruin in the Rosslyn chapel.

Rosslyn Indian New world Corn wasn’t known to Europeans yet,
this is as mysterious as finding coconut husk in the Money pit
Keith Ranville ‘’Corn and aloe are prominent plants in the new world
all but one Rosslyn plant images was imported by the European explorers
to the new world. With these Rosslyn plant clues I searched for more
possible clues in the Meso civilizations, Mayan architectural art and
block writing gave some indication that there maybe a relation in art
and block writing. My Discovery of a Maya temple in the Rosslyn chapel
gave futrher indication of Sinclair-Maya connection. This depiction of
a Maya temple in the Rosslyn church is a remarkable discovery, this gives
the Sinclair new world expedition a lot more exploration credit than realized
by scholars. The Rosslyn Maya temple is a significant discovery for New World history”.

As legend would have it, out on the deep blue sea, the pirates and sailors often found themselves in a passionate love/fear relationship with the ocean.  It was the ocean that would carry them to distant shore but it was the fury of the waves that could tear their ship apart and pull them all down to the depths of the ocean.  It was not uncommon for the sailors to find solace in the believed power of the aquamarine gemstone.

The Deep Blue Sea Is Found Onshore In A Gemstone

Aquamarine is a gemstone that gets it’s name from two Latin words that mean water and sea.  This gemstone can vary in color from pale blue to blue green, the colors of the ocean.  It is said that when the stone is held underwater, it seems to completely disappear.

History Finds The Aquamarine Gemstone Provides Wisdom And Strength

It is written in history that ancient sailors once traveled with aquamarine crystals, sleeping with them tucked under their pillows at night.  These crystals were said to provide safe passage during sea travel.  Many sailors believed that the mermaids’ tails were made of aquamarine.

Aquamarine has always held a popular place in ancient folklore and mythology.  In the Middle Ages, it was believed that aquamarine could provide security from the fatal effects of poisoning.

In Ancient Greece, this gemstone was considered to bestow great wisdom on individuals; statues were built that symbolized power and strength.  For the statue’s eyes, aquamarine gemstones were placed into the statue.  It was believed that anyone that looked upon these statues would become filled with great wisdom and power and that the individual would suddenly possess the ability to see the future.  Many times these statues were placed along the shoreline to calm Poseidon and to insure safe travel for ships headed out to sea.

There Is Beauty And Value In The Color Blue

Aquamarine is a very beautiful stone, the largest ever mined was found in Brazil in 1910.  It weighed over 110 kg and it was 48.5 cm long and 42 cm in diameter.  Today, many of the gemstones are heated to increase the depth of the blue.  When buying an aquamarine gemstone, it is important to remember that the deeper the blue the more valued the stone becomes.

Aquamarine gemstones are Colorado’s state gem.  They are also the birth gemstone for the month of March and the 19th wedding anniversary gemstone.

Caving or spelunking is the recreational activity of exploring natural underground enclosures.  It is the art of moving safely through a cave and getting back to the ground without doing yourself or the cave any harm.

Exploring caves can be very dangerous if done without prior knowledge of the safety rules and guidelines of caving.  Hypothermia, injuries from falling and severe physical exhaustion are just some of the risks.  If you are interested in exploring caves, it is necessary for you to take the time to learn the basics of caving.

There are reading materials, online and offline, that can provide you with the information you need in exploring caves.  The skills needed for each major type of caving are mostly developed by actively taking part in cave tours.  You will learn more by observing and emulating how experienced cavers move.  Getting some minor cuts and scratches as well as making some mistakes will also teach you what not to do when caving.

Know, remember and practice the techniques and safety rules you need to follow and you will experience the joy and wonder of spelunking.  Here are some of the ways you can learn and experience caving and enhance your skills for this physical sport.

Joining a caving club in your neighborhood is a good way to learn how to explore caves.  The National Speleological Society local chapters or grottos offer caving trips for beginners.  They provide training opportunities, teach and exercise cave conservation, and generally offer the fundamentals for learning about caves.

Various national parks with caves also provide many opportunities to learn how to explore caves.  They offer caving tours for beginners as well as wild caving trips that necessitate headlamps, helmets and other safety caving gear.

If you reside in an area with caves, it is possible there are show caves that offer caving tours for a fee.  It is a good way to learn and experience caving without spending anything on your own equipment as most of these tours provide you with everything you will need.  However, some of these tours can be costly or may not really offer a satisfying educational experience.

Caves are entrepots of valuable scientific and historical information.  They are important sources of freshwater for the nation.  It is to the best interest of every living thing to preserve and protect these natural geological formations.  When you explore caves properly, you learn to appreciate nature’s beauty and do your part in conserving them.

It’s ok if you looking at the title and going what cold Atlantis, UFO’s Bigfoot and treasure hunting possibly all have in common, well with a little time I think I can wrap them all together for you..

These were picked just to open your mind and give you a starting place to go from.

Lets start with Atlantis, I believe there are active expeditions going on all over the world with people looking for Atlantis in all parts of the world, Well from a Atlantis Hunters point of view they should track down some Ship Wreck and water treasure hunters to invite along on there quests.

The benefit to the Atlantis hunter will be adding some one to there hunt that has a fantastic history of all the disasters at sea, the ability and usually the equipment to Dive and locate metal underwater and a understanding that cannot be equaled in knowing what is natural in the water and what should be investigated because it does not belong on the bottom of the ocean.  And Since Plato’s Timaeus and Critias was realy the first lost treasure story every put to paper and most treasure hunters have a copy of it and know it well.

The benefit to the Treasure hunter is that most searches all ready have some type of funding, usually a boat and some great equipment we don’t have access to, along with all the required permits and license needed in some areas. So as a treasure hunter you can get in some dive time and a chance to use that underwater detector a bit more.

Ok are you starting to see how to groups that are not of the same mind set can work together with an outcome that will benefit both groups.

Lets now crash into the UFO groups, Yes that was meant to be funny, well what brought this to mind was a discovery show that I seen that had all these people in a farmers field with all types of equipment looking at a crop circle, Now I understand my logic may be different then most but what came to me instantly was that I would love to be in that field with a metal detector.

So from the UFO hunters perspective, Find some local treasure hunters that will be willing to go into an area that you all ready got permission to check out and use there metal detectors to look for all that don’t belong there. And if you’re looking for a craft that flies, there would have to be some metal in it somewhere.

And again from the Treasure hunters side you can get access to areas that normally not be able to hunt on and  remember finding a place to be able to hunt is all about networking, so every place you go and conduct your self with the proper treasure hunting/ metal detecting etiquette the more doors will open for you to be able to hunt there.

Now we move o to Bigfoot, Blame this one on the TV show monster quest,  my oldest daughter Marina who is now  6 wants one as a pet so we watch the series. What stuck me there were these groups that head out into the wilderness areas to look and how the groups usually spend a few days out there, so again my mind went to treasure.

For the Bigfoot hunter the benefits of bring a treasure hunter along would be the Fact that your usually talking to witnesses and every treasure hunter that I know has herd more stories then any one alive and to get good at this has learned when some one is telling the truth or just talking to here them selves talk. As soon as you get know in the treasure hunting community, You will receive every type of scam there is out there, every one knows the location of 200 million in gold but just needs a few thousand to go get it, so in about the first 10 seconds we know when were being scammed.

For the treasure hunter the benefit is heading off into the wilderness to search areas that no one has before, and you have some people around in case any thing happens, the possibilities of undiscovered cashes and even meteorites is just endless, as well as being there with someone that should have some great maps of the area.

I saved my favorite for last, and can blame this one on a birthday gift from my wife and daughters,  a Subscription to Coast to Coast AM were I can listen to the broadcasts on the internet after they air and not have to stay up to 5 am to do it. The shows cover so different and controversial topics but one day I caught a show on the Hollow earth. Again my first thought was Gold, Granted probably not what every one else was thinking but that’s where I went. If you ever panned or dredged for gold you know it finds it way to the lowest possible place it can, usually on bedrock, so if someone is looking for subterranean rivers or deep caves, there would have to be gold there also.

So for the Hollow earth searcher, Find some gold miners that have no problem plunging into a cave to look for things, understand geology and are usually equipped to deal with most things that live in caves.

For the treasure hunter you will find some caves and places that you never even knew were there to search. And have some one to actually go in the caves with you.

Well I hope I gave you something to think about no mater if you’re on the paranormal or treasure side, expand you mind and look for the possibilities that are out there. So to all the Groups on a quest out there remember next time you head off on a quest, why not take a treasure hunter along with you? To do what we do we have to have a Great knowledge of Geology, Archaeology,  History, Myths and Legends, Sociology and survival skills, as well as a healthy supply of common sense.
