Thanks for linking that. It is interesting and gives a decent location, going to start checking maps and Google earth.
The interesting thing is that everything is almost in a perfect straight line. Smith Valley, NV. Go directly south of that and you have Mono Lake, CA. Directly south of that is Mammath Lakes, CA. The last two are on Highway 395.
It’s also odd that ten $100 bills (if we can believe the reports) were found in one location. Wouldn’t bills be scattered far and wide? If not from a plane crash, what about the wind?
Per the article, Minaret Mine is at coordinates Lat: 37.67472, Lon: -119.14861.
