Major dilemma,
Hi folks quick intro I'm 48 live in Scotland I'm a keen gold planner.on my quest for gold I have found a gold mine that I can prove was worked 300 years ago it comes complete with aquaducts and hidden tunnels.i have done a lot of research and can find no entry of this mine ever having paid monies to the crown.there is no evidence that this mine ever existed.the reason being I believe is that inside said mine is Templar treasure I have many reason for coming to this conclusion.
Now what do I do with said information do I sell my story to the press ?.
Why don't I go down said mine you might ask,at the moment it is securely bricked up if I were to open it up and there is Templar treasure within  it could be booby trapped.For sure they wouldn't of made it easy to get therefore would also be no way of securing it again so what if kids got into it ?
Well folks you see my dilemma I would appreciate any advice you could offer me

Hi Dan , Welcome to the forum , Gold mine could have been worked and played out and bricked up for safety reasons , If it were me I would drill a hole thru the bricks and insert a flexible probe camera ( cheap these days ) and investigate , good luck with this project and keep us posted ..cheers Mick

Thanks Au.
I definitely don't think the mine has been played out as I have recent geological evidence that there is still plenty of gold in the area where the mine is(gold is not in a vein).Also I believe the operation stopped due to the building of a railway nearby in the early 1800,s..

And there are masonic symbols and writing next to the hidden opening of a tunnel hence why I think it could be Templar related,also I'm not a million miles away from "Killwinning Abbey",

Why has it been hidden all these years .?  I can understand it being hidden at the beginning if no monies were paid to the crown but the fact it's been kept hidden.i have aquaducts leading 3 burns into one to work a stamp mill.Water tunnels that are in excellent condition and look as if they were built recently due to the good condition and excellent architecture.

I have loads more theories on the area that I have  been unable to prove as yet Romans,rosecian monks,the Scots,Picts Neolithic and megalithic, Cistercian monks all have history in the area.not to mention the covenanters and masonic links.

What I intend to do is cover an area around the mine with a metal detector and see what happens then

After that I will sell my story to the press.

Unless any of you have a better suggestion.
Will keep you all posted on events thanks for any input folks

   You realize if you sell your story to the press you will have Night Hawks and Yabs crawling the hill sides for years, Right?   How is that going to reflect on the Detector Community and impress the public's view on metal detecting ?

   Just something needing some thinking.

I do realise this but surely that will happen anyway if I was to contact the archaeological people first.
Anything I would find according to Scottish law would belong to the "treasure trove",and I would only be entitled to whatever they decide which incidentally could be nothing.
I suppose if I'm honest the lure of cash for my story is very tempting as I'm not working at the moment as I care for my mother.on the other hand I'd like to do the right thing.

So folks you see my dilemma and that is why IV came to this site seeking advice.
Any opinion or advice would be appreciated

Totally stupid concept, Don't you think that the persons who bricked it up would have looked inside, Not to mention the people who have walked past it in the Past 800 years,

The moment that Templer Treasure is mentioned Common Sense Goes right out the window.

I had been done in such a way so that it looks as though is part of an old lade for a mill.

The owner of the mine bricked it up to conceal its existence

We have seen it all here with claims from as far away as Asia, France and the middle east and North America and the UK, and still "No Proof"

The crazy part about it is that seeing as they were fleeing for their lives, I think that treasure would have been the last thing on their minds as it would of weighed them down increasing their chance of capture.

Everyone who has made posts about it add their bit to the story and the Truth has been buried in all the BS years ago. It just does not exist and what ever happened 800 years ago has been plundered and is dead and buried.

I have no doubts it could well be a Mine, But I would be thinking Gold, Silver or Lead etc and  put the templer part to one side otherwise it will cloud your judgement.

We have seen Wars on here with just the words Templer Treasure and things get heated up and disappointment sets In and feelings get hurt, so I would just keep an open mind if I was you.

Thanks ridge
Totally right the facts are that it is a gold mine worked 300 years ago not 800.

So dilemma still stands what do I do folks ?
