Geronimo's Hidden Treasure
The story of Geronimo’s Hidden Mine with treasures of untold wealth is a story that Geronimo told his army captors about. He would not tell them the location without being released so he could make an escape.
Part of the story goes that the mine lies under the nose of a rock outcropping that is in the shape of an Apache warrior.
Two old prospectors and treasure hunters actually found the rock face and the entry to the mine around the 1950’s. Shortly after they found it their house burnt down and they didn’t make it back again.
Later they told the story to a fellow named Dick, who my brother happened to be working for and then told to me. Dick agreed to take me to see it as he had tried to open it up in 1970 but didn’t have any success.
We will walk you up Sycamore Canyon which is now in the Superstition Wilderness Area to show you the outcropping and discuss the rock formations along with showing you some of the fortifications that Geronimo had.

There is a mine on the Ft Irwin reservation in California.
Very cool, thank you.
What a beautiful country…
We don’t care for money
Love to sight see the wonderful places
North America looks amazing. Such a huge place with massive variety of geography. I would love to visit USA and drive the whole place in a camper van and see all the national parks from coast to coast. Take 2 years travelling the whole country. I’m from UK and love visiting the whole country. But Britain is tiny compared to the immense geography of USA.
Very beautiful place !! I would love to go and visit all those hills, mountains, and caves and hear all the history . I enjoyed your tour very much and I love the history!! Thank you for sharing.
I went to basic at fort sill in 02 my Drill sgt told me the storey and i researched it
I think it was just a water source an food storage.
He showed basalt nearby. Sandstone has no metals, correct, but volcanic intrusion could be in the area, just not where the cave is? One thing for sure, if there was treasure in the cave it is long gone.
Who lost it
Outstanding !! Thanks for sharing !! 👍👍💪💪💪💪💪✌✌
Where I live we have a huge cliff face called GERONIMO. T-he mines own the property. We snuck back there on several occasions in the early 90s. There were paths in the rocks & bathing sites. Lots of places to hide stuff. I was so awesome.
Around here, a lot of ppl work at the mine. The story is they found a huge cache of treasure. Gold, stuff they had stolen, scalps, helmets etc.
The mine took all that stuff.
You can’t get back there anymore….. Security is 24/7 and much more advanced than it was back then.
But it was so cool to walk on those paths knowing Geronimo & his families walked them too.
Actually, Sycamore Canyon Rd is almost exactly 6.5 miles (paved), and almost exactly 6.5 miles (dirt track) to Parson’s Point. I’m sitting here right now! LOL
The best treasure is the hardest to find.
They forgot to tell you that Fort Sill is near by and the government after they captured Geronimo stripped the entire mine and they afterwards blasted the entrance.
Geronimo wasn’t found that far north
This is the same story I heard will stationed at Ft Huachuca during 1972. I went in the cave a long distance. The end of the cave was dynamited shut.
Metal detectors do wonders if they find old artifacts be really cool an save for more generations to see in a museum
I wanna go
Another cash of rifles and union solider buttons and food pots. . South of Dos Cabassa
I’M happy you are doing well…. Stay safe and be Blessed 🌹🙏 ☝️🌹
All them entrances seem more like a tactical attack position. Great cover and upper ground . Especially if there is no gold there
I would think a treasure is burried there in the cave, not the cave being a gold mine, wouldn’t make scents at all, Jeronimo digging gold in a cave. lol.
Sycamore Canyon .Sycamore Creek out of Cave Creek on to Bloody Basin and Sheeps Crossing?Outside of Phoenix Arizona?Takes one to the Verde River via Red Creek.And one could get to Four Peaks I guess.Four Peaks had some gem quality Amethist crystal clusters back in the day.It was a long hike to get to Four Peaks.And I believe in Body Nevada gold was found in sandstone.Gold is where you find it sir.
The JESUITS cleared that out centuries ago lol
Gold I need Gold ✨️
Thank you for sharing such an interesting pc of history
Love it
The I you that’s lovely.
Interesting! While I have respect for Geronimo,,I also recognize that he enjoyed f**king with the whites and the entire gold story he told was just a fairytale to stir up the whites..who knows and at this point with the evidence available,, it’s a case of "everybody add their own view to the story
Ty for sharing.
🤣🤣 listening to educated people talk about geology is hilarious. Where did the sand stone come from? How did it get there? Gold occurs on every inch of this planet. You can pull gold out of a tree, but it’s not valuable if everyone can find it. That’s why geological education is so important, they have to control the supply.
Beautiful land, very sacred… Please respect our land and leave it the way it was when you got there. It would also be great to leave some tobacco for the ancestors.
The Real Treasure (for me) was Finding, Seeing, &
Learning Some of the History of Such an Awesome
Place to Take a Hike, & Chill!! You are a Wonderful Story Teller! I am Absolutely Captivated!
Thanks for Sharing!
Thank you
Geronimo did not value gold, there is no gold near the Superstition mountains.
Nice vid thanks🇺🇸👊

Hello. Greeting from Albania.
What did u find nuthing wasted my time atop perpatrating the punch
This is the real deal a family named parrilla or paralta had a mine in this area they were believed to have been killed by the Apache in 1835 documents in Mexico show that the mine produced thousands of pounds of gold in high grade ore it would be plausible that geronimo would have known about it and never revealed the location
Interesting bit of history. Thank you for sharing.
Just subscribed, amazing location, so beautiful..!!! Love the history..!!!
Everybody has a different story about the location. When I lived in west Texas it was supposedly around King Mountain around McCamey. Nobody will ever find it because it was found long ago and they kept their mouth shut! True of most all treasures. 👍👍👍(always hiders and finders. Sometimes one and the same!)
The Dutchmen. Is. In the same. Area if. I remerber .
thanks again
Water was their gold.
I enjoy treasure stories, thank you for sharing!
Please, why would indians mine for gold? They had no way to extract it. And no use for it. They never advanced beyond the stone age.
