Update to Lost Ivanpah Silver Vein

Greg Hawk • March 21, 2022

After I made the video about this treasure hunt I found a couple of photos I took when I first came upon what I believed was the “Silver Vein” that Miguel had talked about in the story.


These pictures show an old bucket and a small cigarette tin that I believe were Miguel’s which had been setting up in the mountains for close to 100 years. The bucket had rusted out somewhat but in the desert where there is very little rain this is what I would have expected to see. 


Upon finding these I was elated and believed, after searching on and off for over ten years, that I had finally found the lost silver vein. It was in an extremely rough area to get to, and I don’t believe any cattle or cowboys had been this way during the past 100 years. 


The pictures show my camp out on Mesquite Lake, which is a dry lake bed, along with a pictures of myself with the bucket and by the vein.

A look into the treasure story of Skelton Canyon which lies in eastern Arizona.  Was it real and if so where is it buried today? Cheers! Greg Hawk

A lost ledge of gold and the prospector who found it but wasn't able to return. The marker he left was his vest with a mule shoe on top of it to mark the spot.  This story takes place around 1900 along the Colorado River about 25 to 30 miles north of Yuma, Arizona on the California side of the river at a place called Picacho. A man searched for it for over 20 years and never found it, can you?

This is the story of a stagecoach robbery that was printed in the March-April edition of Westerner Magazine in 1974. It took place south of Beale Springs and supposedly $200,000 worth of gold bullion was heisted from the stagecoach and the stagecoach disappeared after the robbery never to be found until 40 years later.

A visit to gold country in Northern California. A subscriber to my YouTube channel contacted me about a mine he had a claim on in Arizona and also some mines close to where he purchased property in Glencoe, CA. Being a Vietnam Vet, as I am, I decided to meet up with him and look at the mines he was curious about in California.  We had lunch in the town of Mokelumne Hill which was located in rich placer gold country during the 1849 gold rush.

The following pictures I took in 2017 after several years of looking for the Lost Ivanpah Mine, which was a story that was told to me by John whom I mentioned in my book. I had searched for this prospect for several years in my spare time and camped out in the dry lakebed while I searched. Finally, on the last day of searching, before I was going to give up on it, I went up a really rough wash to an area higher than I had been before. Here I found the old prospect hole where Miguel had been digging. Beside it was an old tin bucket and what looked to be a cigarette tin. They had been sitting here for approximately 110 years when I found them as Miguel died around 1906.  For more on this check out the video: The Lost Ivanpah Silver Mine

Directions to what we had been told was the Bully Bueno Mine and evaluating the ore.  In the end was this the real Bully Bueno Mine?

We visit some of the old mining towns and delve into the history from 1860's forward that made this area a mining center back during that time period.
