Hey Stan, Just wanted to drop you a line. I wonder what you are up to these days. I hope you are fine and all bids you well. I have been following your site for several years now and have corresponded with you as well. I have enrolled in the University of West Florida Underwater Archaeology program and am having a blast. They have some primo sites here in Pensacola Bay. Two of the ships from the Luna Fleet of 1559 have been discovered they are within 500M of each other. I want to thank you for putting together your program for becoming a free enterprise like your self. It really has been beneficial to me. I am John Smith, recently retired from the Army. I am still looking forward to coming to Quito for retirement and other purposes. I have been sharing the Stan Grist knowlege at the university and have some professors looking at me strangely. Again, I hope all is well with you. What of the Knowlege of theAncients? Is it for real? Did you find it? Your friend in Quest, John >:^) pixiecat53
Hi Stan, Thanks for the update. Sounds exciting. We need something to change this paradigm before all goes to hell in a hand basket. Good luck on the exploration. I wish I was going with you. BTW I came across this amazing story about a mountain on the California - Nevada border that in the 30s a canyon was found. Underneath it was an underground river running through and massive gold in the sands along canyon edges. A group has bought all the mineral rights to the mountain and has been actively trying to figure out a way in to the cavern. It is said that a major water system runs under the desert of Nevada coming in from Utah.
Regards, Dr. Rick Bierman accudoc1@comcast.net PS: What is your take on Planet X? Hi Rick, I have been interested in the Earl Dorr story for most of my life. I would love to know if it is true or not. Even Clive Custler wrote about it in his great novel, Inca Gold. Please let me know if you hear any more news about it in the future. As far as Niburu (Planet X) goes, I consider it a strong possibility of being true. I was introduced to it in Z. Sitchen's books. I continue to research the subject and will be dealing with it in future newsletters. Thanks for your interest in my work Rick, Stan Hi Stan, I reviewed all the Earl Dorr stuff on the web. It appears there that the group who bought the mineral rights had a lot of investment money, but they have internal conflicts and lawsuitsare flying around. Dorr talked about seeing daylight while in the cavern so there must be another entrance somewhere, but after blowing up the entrance (another Burrow cave move), he spent a lot of time trying to find that daylight source to no avail. I wonder if some satellite viewing would reveal a way in. If Niburu is real, a whole lot of people are going to die and that survival would depend upon being underground for a while. We should know soon. Estimates are that by spring of 2009 other telescopes in the southern hemisphere will see it besides the one at the south pole. I think we are going to have a major transformation. I hope it is a spiritual inner shift to knowing what is real and a breaking down of authoritarian structures rather than the physical world being changed. I am a medical dowser for 30 years and a fairly decent psychic, mostly medical, but when I look at people's energy, a lot of them do not look like they are planning to stay in this physical world for too long. I think a whole lot of people are going to check out in the next 5 to 7 years. Probably a better way to go then sticking around for the rocking and rolling if Planet X shows up. Something has happened many times to the planet in the past; that is clear. It is too bad the Hall of Records has not been found to find out exactly what. All we have is the myths of native cultures and intuition right now and the vague statement by NASA that there is an object out there. What is confusing to me, if Planet X comes around every 3,000 years or so, the Chinese would have it written down. I have not seen anything solid regarding their records of it. So it is possible that the time line is off. Also there has been no report from the aborigines regarding Planet X. Their culture goes back 40k years. Anyway it always nice to talk with a serious researcher. I wish there were more people like you around to talk with. Regards, Dr. Rick accudoc1@comcast.net
Congratulations Stan! 2009 will be a great year for you. I wish you nothing but good health, good treasure hunting and personal satisfaction. You are already a living legend so this new discovery will truly be rewarding to all peoples everywhere. If you need a treasure hunting neophite (I fly for almost FREE with American Airlines as my husband is a retired Vice President from TWA) and would love to witness first-hand this discovery. However, since I have no archaeological or geological experience, logic tells me I'd probably just be in the way. Take care and be well. I will be anxiously awaiting your new link to your upcoming website.

Thanks for your email Stan, It is good to hear from you again. The last message I had from you was dated June 4, 2007 and was regarding the disputed information about the "Metallic Library" You left me with the following paragraph... "I promise that my next newsletter will shock you as it shreds the lies, sends heads rolling and finally reveals the truth. I promise to share with you my own personal, first-hand information, no second-hand hearsay (what a concept)." "Volume II of III will be coming up soon…" If I have missed something here, I am wondering if you can bring me up to date on this subject. In the mean time Stan I will look forward to hearing about your latest projects and adventurers. Definitely the most anticipated emails I receive. Thank You in advance! Kind Regards, Robert hunterobson@yahoo.com Thanks for writing Robert, You're are quite correct, I have never sent out "the rest of the story". There are a number of reasons for that. However, I will be finishing up that unfinished business this year. Further, I will be posting some video interviews that I conducted with key players in the story. Hopefully, we will put the whole story to rest soon and then be able to move on from there. Best Regards, Stan
Just got your newsletter Stan, Thanks for keeping my email address in your database. I have land in the jungle up the Rio Napo about 11-12 hrs from Quito depending on how you get there. So, I was quite taken with your slide show and re-inspired to once again re-commit to the life of adventure and exploration beyond the gold panning in the Rocky Mtns. and care taking ghost towns. For the past 6 months remote viewing has come into my life too and the CAVES surface again and again. For the next big RV meeting I am submitting the cave information for evaluation by seasoned remote viewers in the Boulder/Golden area. Let's see what they come up with. If you have additional information on the caves this is the time to forward it to me. Photos are always welcome for remote views to key into. Hope you'll discover who I am at: taishanorientalmedicine.blogspot.com I've been an ethnobotanist / researcher / inventor / outdoorsperson / lover of archeoastronomy forever studying the medicinal Amazonian plants right now. Best Wishes in your endeavors. I love the NASDAQ hit, Lacey purerealms@aol.com
Hi Stan, It was so great to hear from you again. I was wondering when youwould surface and hoped that you would be coming out with something that wows us all, and it appears that you have. It all sounds exciting, and please realize that I, and I am sure many others, can't get enough of your adventures, so please fire emails at will! I bought several of your courses a few months ago and am studyingthem in my spare time so that when I have the financial wherewithal, I will know what the heck I am doing. May I say that I am really proud of you and am happy to see you following your dreams and passion. It certainly is inspiring to see, and shows in your contagious enthusiasm for your work (and/or play). It also inspires your readers in their dreams as well. If it is still of help, I prioritized your topics and came up with the following: 7, 8, 1, 5, 2, 9, 6, 10, 3, 4 & 11. For 12 I would really like an occasional update of political and legal climates in the countries in South America we might prospect, treasure hunt, and seek esoterica in. It might help one prepare as they approach getting ready to make a trip and avoid prospecting for gold in a legally forbidden area or for diamonds in the middle of a military exercise. Look what happened to Indiana Jones (& the crystal skull) in Nevada when he found the town full of test dummies! Anyway, keep up the great work and I look forward to hearing fromyou soon. Safe journeys! All the Best, John jesjr3@yahoo.com
Hi Stan, Recieved the bulk message you sent.... reminded me to send you a note. I am in Colombia right now due to paperwork delay. I was there a full year and got away with it even though you´re normally only allowed six months. Anyway, I did lots and lots of groundwork in the south and have made some excellent in-roads that I am certain will be highly coveted once I get the info out. In a nutshell I have multiple locations and native guides waiting for me to bring in clients with special equipment such as ground penetrating radar to look for a variety of things. I have leads on locations containing guandos, Valverde´s gold (definite location where bricks have been found), up to 200 gm. gold nuggets, and archeological locations that I am reasonably certain date between 25k and 50k years old. I have accumulated a ton. The natives in the area I am speaking of now call me Indiana Jones.... hope that qualifies for the Grist club... Soon I am going to put together a website looking for those who can afford particular special equipment and will handsomely pay the expeditions. My investment has been a year of my life and incredible contacts. I also have the capability to start a multitude of gold mines should I receive interest. I am ready to talk to anyone with the money to pay my expedition tours. Please feel free to pass my name on to qualified persons, such as yourself. I have a wealth of hard to get info due to my long stays in the places concerned and will only divulge information to those who are serious and can afford it. Let me know how you are doing. Saludos, Jeremy jerwine100@hotmail.com
Dear Stan, My name is Diego and I am an Ecuadorian citizen. I am very interested about what happened in the Cave of Tayos. I heard that one of the first expeditions was with Neil Armstrong and that his experience there in the caves was more overwhelming than his moon travel thing. Do you know something about it? Do you have pictures of the Tayos Cave? I would really like to know because I do believe there is an inner earth civilization and that some of the caves throughout Ecuador are portals to this civilization. Please, if you have time contact me. Looking forward to your answer. Many Regards, Diego Morejon diegomojar@hotmail.com
Hi Stan, Thank you for the information concerning the details of your e-courses. Is your CD/DVD "Lost Treasures of the World" still available for sale and if yes, at which price? I don't know whether you are interested in non-English TH/MD websites, but if yes, let me mention my German website: www.sondengaenger-deutschland.de I created this website one year ago. The URL means "detectorists germany". 120 million people in history-rich Central Europe speak German and, though some speak reasonable English, they want German content, not English content. (For the English speaking people there is my older website dealing with MDing in Germany: www.adventurehistory.com The German website does not deal primarily with my personal searches but with the situation of metal detectorists and treasure hunters in Central Europe, especially Germany. Legal issues, finding prospects, media reception, cooperation with archaeological institutions, real treasure finds etc. For the German detectorists and THers this is much more important than the personal finds shown on the usual websites. According to Google, it is among the top 5 websites (usually #2 after all-mighty wikipedia) for the keyword "sondengänger" (metal detectorist). Right from the start it got me several enquiries from radio and tv people as well as from German MD forums. Because of the publisher status, I even get to know about hitherto unpublished treasure finds such as this http://www.sondengaenger-deutschland.de/higr/supr/oesenringbarrenhort/kirchseeon.html 4000 year old bronze ring hoard found in 2008. All I had to do was to call the finder. Though he did not know me, he knew my website and told me all I wanted to know. Now in the Munich museum, the hoard was found just a few hundred meters away from a place I searched back in 2001... Can you believe the organic ropes shown in the closeup survived 4000 years in the wet German ground? This happened for the first time ever in the history of German archaeology. I did some research on South America in the last few days. As you know of course, it seems many countries prohibit the export of precolumbian artefacts, Ecuador among them. Also, as you know, a key factor to successful THing is local expert knowledge of the history of places. While I am an expert for the Munich region, I cannot contribute much to a possible partnership in your country aside from being an experienced metal detectorist and a fanatic history explorer. However, I would feel honored if you could give me a bit of your time for a talk on THing/MDing issues *in case* I ever come to Quito (which will not happen in the foreseeable future). Until then I will follow adventure-trader.com as it evolves, and will follow your other published work I can get my hands on. Best of THing luck in 2009, Thorsten http://www.adventurehistory.com/imprint.html Stan's note: All you THers and detectorists will love this article below written in English by Thorsten. The photos are very nice! Hi Stan, if you wish to see a recent English article on my MDing in Germany you can find it on this forum. The link will be valid just for a few days. That is the only English content I published recently. Geetings Thorsten http://members3.boardhost.com/Charles.C/msg/1222965083.html
