‘I’ll Tell You Exactly Where They’re At’: Famed Gold Miner Tells Joe Rogan Possible Hidden Location Of Incredibly Valuable Mammoth Tusks

An mammoth tusk collector sparked an interest in “bone rush” in New York City’s East River after telling Podcast host Joe Rogan said that there was a large cache of extremely valuable tusks found in the area around 80 years ago.

John Reeves is a millionaire gold miner and his company Fairbanks Gold LLC. owns thousands of acres of patented mining grounds in Alaska, quoted a draft report from the Fairbanks mining District Alaska, which related how 500,000 tusks were taken from Fairbanks to New York City’s American Museum of Natural History in 1940.

“They’re finders keepers. If any of you guys want to go out and find some bones I’ll tell you exactly where the f*** they’re at, but I’ll only tell Joe Rogan,” Reeves said.

Then, he quoted the report:

In the East River, the East River was a result of mistakes made by the field regarding the acceptable condition of bones being shipped to New York City. The East River Drive was at 65th Street. This was the dump site. It was also the common New York City Hospital dump site for materials that are difficult to dispose of. This could be a challenging dig for archaeologists in a distant future.  

“They were of no value to these guys,” Reeves stated. “But you got to remember this was in 1928 to 1958. People, you know miners, didn’t collect the bones. That’s what makes me such an oddball. I had friends going — when I first started this 15 years ago — going, ‘What the f*** are you doing?’ Fifteen years later, I’m sayin’, ‘We’ll get the goddamn gold, don’t worry about it.”

Reeves valued the missing tusks as $1 billion because they could be sold individually for tens or thousands of dollars.

“Dude. let me tell you something about mammoth bones, mammoth tusks, they’re extremely valuable,” Rogan was informed of the information by Reeves. “I don’t know what kind of current that river has, if it even has a current, all I know is this is where they say they dumped them, and I’ve gotta go with that. If this is where they say they dumped them, this is where they dumped them.”

“You can take an underwater camera and drop it over with your fishing pole,” Reeves suggested.

A couple from Alaska hikes together in October found A long, 7-foot-long blue mammoth tail weighing in at 105 lbs. “Depending on the state and wholeness, [it’s worth] somewhere upwards between $20,000 and $70,000,” The husband replied.

Vice reported A 130-pound tusk could be sold to Russian middlemen for $20,000, and the middleman can then turn it around and sell it in China for up to $160,000
