Does anyone know for certain the answer to either of these questions?
1) Are there samples of rich gold ore from the Bulldog mine in existence?
2) If so, have any of them been compared both visually and "analytically" to what's believed to be gold or from the LDM?
Paul,
It seems to have brushed against my eardrums sometime in the last ten or fifteen years that there is a sample of the Bulldog mine ore somewhere. Probably at the Mining Museum in downtown Phoenix or ASU's "mining department" (if there is one) at the school in Tempe. Perhaps I heard word of it when I was packed into the Sups by the OK Corral in Apache Junction. My guides for that three day ride/campout were Ron Feldman and Tom Kollenborn with many stories and legends being told both around the campfire and while out on the trail.
As far as a sample of LDM ore somewhere... I thought I knew someone with a piece in his ring until the last Rendezvous, NOW I have NO idea.
Good luck in your quest.
