Lost Adams Gold Diggings - Clues to the Gold #3

Three segments where Ron discusses several aspects of his experience at the Diggings, and only one monolog section by me where I nerd out on Spanish Mining Law and the importance of Mercury. Ron shows a "medallion" found at the diggings that he thinks could be Aztec - central and south American classic cultures did make a lot of flat earring type things, and they did idolize the Eagle - when their prophecy of an Eagle clutching a Snake on a Prickly Pear cactus came true, they moved back out of their floating platform swampy exile and started subjugating everyone within reach. Ron goes through some pictures, including one that make it pretty clear how D-Cross mountain got its name. He even relates how one of the former owners of the ranch that the Diggings is on used a helicopter to access a cave where they found a bag of gold and a pot - question is: how did they know to search there!? Ron discusses the frozen/petrified landscape I hope to go see and document someday, and we have just a generally good chat out in the Southern New Mexico desert.
