Gold Treasure Map! Can we follow the clues to the GOLD?

Historic Documents point towards some significant gold at Cerro Gordo. After doing some research and finding some clues, Jason, Brent and I set off to see if we can find any evidence of the MASSIVE amount of gold they supposedly found back in the day at Cerro Gordo.

    MRDS shows gold listed as tertiary for almost every single mine in that area which isn't a soapstone or talc mine. No question lead was first with a bit of silver, zinc, and copper too. I'll bet the gold is running with the lead and you need to cupel the lead away to find it.
