    This makes all the Native Americans very angry, because that is native Americans gold. That’s their land it belongs to the Native Americans Indians. It does not belong to the white man.

    Tell tell everyone the truth, the gold may have already been found and mined, back into he 70s or 80s.

    ok ,let’s say the facts first .. as far as the Peralta stones go .. one symbolic on the stones was only used between the mid 1200"s to the late 1300"s ,by a very small group of people ,,IMHO ,this fact alone makes the stones real because only a few people in the world even know of this symbolic and even fewer know how to read or plot it on a map or know how to use it correctly .. i am a X Navy Quartermaster .. i corrected charts and was a special ops master helmsman ,i have taken the FFG -3 in and out of dozens of ports throughout the world .i have been trained in all types of historic & modern navigation and observation ,. IMHO the stones are 100% accurate to within 3 cubic feet ,the stones are coded and i translated them in 2002 correctly .. the LDM is not on the stones ….the stones were made way before the LDM was even found around the years between 1876 or 1878…IMHO …"As a Quartermaster, i navigate the open seas to keep our mission on course. Specializing in maps, charts and oceanography, .and work generally involves mental analysis and problem solving.a Quartermaster must be a U.S. citizens who can meet all security clearance requirements. i have a "A top secret Clearance " because i was on the Flagship of the 7th fleet .. when i say i found the LDM in 2006 , i am not joking ! it is very well hidden ,i wanted to go back but my health and cash flow does not look like i will be able to , i spent over $54,000 after selling my farm on locating the Hoya after a sighting of it in 1979 …i was not looking for the LDM when i found it ..! i found 16 sites of interest .. over my 6 expeditions ….that last part you are talking about them calling the isolated mine the LDM , that is not the LDM . that is the Hoya …

    Mister Scott Wolter… I had no idea how painful it would be watching you after you came on the leak project and demanded that we all get the vaccine I just hope at that time you were not privy to it affects if so your soul is it a very sad state

  5. American Defender on June 4, 2023 at 5:48 pm

    Nothing presented here is true. Especially the stone maps! The creator of the maps came forward 3 or 4 decades ago and admitted to creating them! I’m surprised to see Tom on this episode. The host of the show is an absolute joke!

  6. grease addiktz on June 4, 2023 at 5:49 pm

    That man ain’t t got nothing but fake stones and a bunch of stories

  7. AngelaH on June 4, 2023 at 5:49 pm

    I’ve lived in AZ for over 35 years…….people have died searching for that gold. The desert is very unforgiving, and will swallow you up if you don’t know how to prepare for the deadly possibilities.

  8. Curty Andrew on June 4, 2023 at 5:49 pm

    Man, either the man holding that skull at the 9 minute mark is really small or that skull is huge.

  9. Warren louisiana on June 4, 2023 at 5:49 pm

    The mine was there with the Spanish before the Dutchman got there,,,

  10. Will Linke on June 4, 2023 at 5:52 pm

    Stone maps… come on lol 😂

  11. Privatepilot on June 4, 2023 at 5:55 pm

    Wow. He got a text inside the mine!

  12. Julia Stepanova on June 4, 2023 at 5:56 pm

    This man can find NOTHING! He is not a really good hunter and researcher!

  13. Sm0ky2 on June 4, 2023 at 5:57 pm

    Scott: i hope this reaches you, there is good news and bad news. Good news is the mine is exactly where he left it. The bad news is it sits on public lands. Therefore the gold inside would end up belonging to the state or the government.
    Meaning, exposing it would only be losing it once more.

  14. Privatepilot on June 4, 2023 at 5:59 pm

    You would think the US Navy could fly a P-3 or P-8 sub hunter over the Supes and map out any hits they get. Those aircraft are essentially big flying metal detectors utilizing MAD or Magnetic Anomaly Detection technology. Working like it’s cousin, a handheld metal detector, the aircraft could cover large areas in just a handful of passes.

  21. JimZion on June 4, 2023 at 6:07 pm

  22. Aldo Bueno on June 4, 2023 at 6:07 pm

    IF THE RIGHT PERSON FOUND IT HE WOULD NEVER SHARE THAF INFO WITH THE WORLD …: it only you dummies that what everyone to know everything

  23. Louis Enriquez on June 4, 2023 at 6:08 pm

    Ustedes alaban a este señor y mis respetos para todos ustedes, solo una pregunta. Que tanto habla de Jesucristo y si ustedes miran a Jesús en el? Porque si siguen al hombre según sus opinión es muy humilde, pero porque habla puras sandeces y no da un consejo de Fe sobre Jesucristo.. entonces hay que ver que es lo que están consumiendo.. para vida o para muerte?

  24. Rosendo Dominguez on June 4, 2023 at 6:10 pm

    THEIS BE FOR I NEU BATOR .

  25. John Brainard on June 4, 2023 at 6:12 pm

    Things like this is treasure hunting. Clues, leading to more clues, it goes on and on. Seen things like "National Treasure" series. BUNK! It is not like Egypt, where treasures abound. America is different, Eldorado, City of Gold. The Indians, natives both from South America and North America. Learned of the White man’s deceit. Stories, to lead all on a wild goose chase! Only in Quartz deposits and Thermal uprisings in various states and nations around the globe.

  26. Paula Olson on June 4, 2023 at 6:12 pm

    Simple is how you should think to find the mine

    How do we know that good ole Jacob Waltz just have a twisted sense of humor? He knew he was dying and decided to go out having one last laugh at everyone’s expense.

  29. Chopper_c6 on June 4, 2023 at 6:16 pm

    I can’t stand this dude

  30. Hue Man on June 4, 2023 at 6:16 pm

    Almost at the end .
    Well I know little ,but I do know there was a big earth quak which suposively caved- in and buired the mine .
    SO FIND THE FAULT LINE.

  31. helen stokes on June 4, 2023 at 6:17 pm

    I see it already. It’s in full view no one sees it but me. What a gift.

  32. Douglas Carducci on June 4, 2023 at 6:17 pm

  33. Antient Dude on June 4, 2023 at 6:17 pm

    Our family has a bit of history in southeast okla see my great great grandpa was 12 yrs old n he n his dog was over by/on the backside of Buffalo mountain hunting rabbits n his dog chased that rabbit in a large hole he was worried n got on his knees n hands n crawled in after his dog which he could plainly hear barking when he got inside he said he could stand up it was a large room with one side piled up with gold bricks some large n some smaller n some sacks that was falling apart n they was gold coins he was excited but scared he was definitely where he didn’t belong so he got hold his dog n crawled out n ran all the way home back to the old shack they lived in back in them mountains n he ran up to his dad n told him the story his pa said let’s go see son and my great great grandpa took his PA back to the area to show him but him being a lil boy he didn’t take time to make a mark or sign ot anything he spent all evening trying to find that small hole he climbed thru but sadly he couldn’t find it and that gold is still in that mountain somewhere to this day. NOBODY has ever found that cave if someone finds it that will be huge news in that area. I always said when I’m grown I’m going to look for it but sadly I’ve waited to long n im disabled now n will never get to hike back in there n try to find it. All I can say is whoever is owner of that land will one day trip into it n wind up a billionaire all on accident cause far as I know that mountain is about twenty miles long n it’s starting to get Parcelled out as time goes by n land is sold. I bet whoever winds up selling that part will think they made good money until they see what they sold.

  37. Ryan Tipps on June 4, 2023 at 6:23 pm

    the stone maps are confirmed fake, the family admitted it recently

  38. Michael Shirley on June 4, 2023 at 6:25 pm

    Hahaaa. You found nothing. If anyone would know anything about this.. it would be Terry Carter

  39. Maria Rivera on June 4, 2023 at 6:26 pm

    Lot of water. I lived in Arizona for 30 years. Actually lived at base of Sup. Mnts. Been all over it. Never seen no Apaches. Human or military. The real story does not need all the fake drama.

  40. Mr Capitalist on June 4, 2023 at 6:28 pm

    A moron is someone who spends 48 years of his life looking for a treasure that may not even exist!!

  41. Robert Crittenden on June 4, 2023 at 6:28 pm

    Dutchman’s gold mine found… B.S!!! Sick of these lying titles!!!!! Im thinking about blocking these vids that mislead

  42. Milktruck on June 4, 2023 at 6:29 pm

    Use a darn metal detector. It will pick up gold that should put you close to it.

  43. wm c barker on June 4, 2023 at 6:30 pm

  44. Robert Bobinis on June 4, 2023 at 6:31 pm

  45. Amanda on June 4, 2023 at 6:32 pm

    You go poking around in the Superstition Mountains in the Apaches are probably going to kill you

  49. DONALD Knott Jr. on June 4, 2023 at 6:39 pm

    I can’t say nor presume one way or the other. But knowing the character of both the MINING INDUSTRY AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. IT IS MOST LIKELY THAT THE GOLD HAS BEEN DISCOVERED AND GONE. BUT the Arizona department of tourism has let the legend live on. EVEN AT THE PERIL OF HUMAN LIVES. AFTER ALL .IF one insists on looking they certainly ( ONE WOULD HOPE ) THE RISKS THEY TAKE .
