The lost Waltz gold??
Tell em where it is then tell em not to go..😂😂😂😝
For 6 months I lived in a T-shaped cave just outside the boundaries of "The Lost Dutchman" State park. Kept my gear in there back in there booby trapped with tear gas attached to the shrub branches with a trip wire. I brought in the shrub to act as camouflage in front of my gear. If they persisted and went for the actual gear I had military grenade simulators rigged to the back pack and other gear by thier small cotton string. Pick up the pack then 15 seconds later "BOOM", lol. Fortunately no one ever went in there, of course when I was a way for extended periods I would ripen a dead skunk in the sun for a couple days and then toss it into the caves mouth a few feet. Always kept old dried rattle snake skins littered about too. Anyway I took a few trips back up into the Superstitions , to Weavers Needle, The Massacre Grounds "Peralta and men killed there". I had read where most people killed back in there were foolish and hiked out in the open, kept sky lining themselves, walk across the open valley floor, stay on trails etc. And were thereby easy prey for others back in there who did not want to come pout for new supplies etc. It was easy to watch people enter the area from vantage points and then ambush them for supplies and even their life. Quite a few were killed by beheading. It is said that higher up, the spires are called "People turned to Stone" and are sacred to the White Mountain Apaches even to this day. They were suspected of the beheadings. I was 09 years in the US Army 82nd Abn. and was not going to be foolish back in there. Always walked the military crest, stayed down is washes, stopped to listen for noises etc. When I got to the steep ascents to the spires I came across a skull and bones etched in black on the face of the rock wall with the word "Beware" then the date 1921. After that I had the safety on my HK91 switched off, round in the chamber and moved cautiously. I made camp about sunset, unpacked a few things. Once it was pretty dark I packed everything back up and moved perhaps an 1/8th mile to establish another camp. Just tried to be smart up in there. The next day, a peaceful Sunday morning perhaps about 6:30 standing up on the cliffs edge overlooking the valley floor I took the HK and cranked of 20 rounds of 308 as a great wake up call to all the people down below at the campgrounds and adjacent restaurant areas. LOL, it was pretty loud, then just echoed for a few more long seconds. Found mountain lion tracks about 30 feet from my camp, there is danger all over up there. From swarms of bees, snakes, Gila Monsters, scorpions, Black Widows, People. When I got back to my camp all was good except some joker shot the tires flat on my bicycle I had tucked up to and under a saguaro cactus. Suckers got me, but not my gear. 6 Months there waiting and waiting. Funny thing is a TV station came out there to use the cave for a Gold miner commercial. They brought some old furniture with them and when they were all done they said "Hey Rambo, you want us to leave you this here furniture? So hell, I had a furnished cave to chill in. It was all good excpet they had a large air cannon that they shot a bunch of popcorn from during the filming and I had mice for a couple weeks gorging on popcorn. Ah those were the days, no great pressure, now out here back in the game, fighting the daily fight, ugh. That was 1986 I lived out there. Went in the army at 17 in 73-83. City life and always chasing the dollar trying to keep on top of the bills, sometimes I so hate this mess of a life.
Does not matter what is at the Superstition Mountains, for most of us the cost is not worth it. If someone has nothing that ties them to the world as we know it and want to chance not coming back, feel free as you might end up somewhere that would be least expected and none here would be able to find you. There are a couple such spots there, and if someone has a working 3rd eye they can see what I’m saying. I can see through those locations holes to other time and places. Some of the Apache walked through these holes to save themselves and loved ones, and others have as well.
Gee wiz, Need someone that will go down inside, I will volunteer! You spent so much energy to get there but didn’t go down inside, what a waste of your time! 🥵🧐👎🏻. But thanks for telling me where it’s at!👍🏻
I know now & I’m going to go in it myself?
I just want to tell a little history of what a very reliable source and also a very good friend that is a very knowledgeable and in all words a real mountain man that does not spook very easy untill he was near this exact mind or cave and he was with a few other men of the same caliber of my friend and I have known these men 25 plus years ,so I believe what they tell me they had all types of weird unexplainable things happen they all seen a creature that moved like a shadow and my one buddy said this thing screamed at him when he was approaching this very cave where Larry and the other men went to.They would hear people talking all through the night like they were walking up to there camp and there would not be a person to be found.They had a real good fire going the first night and they were seeing sillowets of men looking at them like 50′,60 feet away’ and they would focus there eyes and there would not be anything there.It was going to be a 3 day trip let’s just say they were all home in there houses by noon the next day. This was 1991 when this all happen this trip changed my friends way of going on overnight trips and the way they prospect .
So they sit by a ladder.. That’s it!!!!!!!!!!
Rope flashlight flares water and food. Some people have all the fun
I’m coming so get ready & I don’t care who don’t like it I’m coming??????
Nice video, was hoping to see inside though!
Disliked because they never. Went in.
Blomburg add no good
You guys are animals! To make that trek at your ages, is outstanding.
The Spanish were pretty crafty at hiding their cashes before they left an area that they worked. I’m sure that area is loaded with still hidden cashes of Spanish gold, that’s probably what the lost Dutchman was. He may have just stumbled onto it trying to get out of a heavy storm one day. The caballo’s over in New Mexico are rugged like the superstitions as well and there are alot of holes all over them made possible by gold fever. Willie D is perhaps one of the few who actually walked away from them with a sizable stash. It’s said he left 4 gold bars from his score when he died in a storage locker in the San Diego area, certainly a family member is living it up on that!
i need someone to come to this spot and review a flashlight while ghosts whisper around him
I’m game!… let’s do this! This needs to be answered folks. Let’s organize something.
In 1968 I went to work for the Oklahoma City private investigator, Glenn Magill. Soon after I started working for Glenn he showed me a book that had just been published on his exploits, The Killer Mountains by Curt Gentry. He had me read the book and then talked about it extensively. Up until then I’d never heard of the Lost Dutchman gold mine. After being filled in on everything he knew, Glenn wanted my input. He said that even though he’d told Gentry that everything he said was true and he knew exactly where the mine was, he still wasn’t sure. One of the first things I learned about the whole thing was that there were a lot of dangerous people looking for that mine. (I quickly determined that Magill was probably the most dangerous of them all.) Magill believed the mine was on Bluff Springs Mountain on the slope facing the Old Military Trail. He said that it would take him several more years to actually prove that because he had to save up the money to finance each trip. I quit working for Magill in ’70 and in ’72 moved to Phoenix. I didn’t do so just to look for the mine myself (by then I’d become a floor-covering installer and had heard there was plenty of work in Phoenix) but in ’74 decided to check it out myself. Magill had said that he told everyone who worked for him about his findings and that if he ever caught any of his former employees in those mountains, he would kill them. I took that seriously and went in when I was quite sure he wouldn’t be there. I never thought the mine was on Bluff Springs Mountain – never actually came to any personal conclusion about its location – but wanted to check it out anyway. I went to the location where Magill believed it was and became thoroughly convinced that there was no mine there and never had been. I think Magill died in 1993 or ’94 and like so many others, wasted a lot of time and money on his quest but never found a thing.
Anyone else feel letdown?? Complete waste of my time
Such a good mystery remember the show wish they would have brought it back thanks for the video
The lost Adam’s digging lie on the navajo Indian reservation near sonsela buttes peaks. 18 miles northeast of fluted rock.one of the landmarks of the location.this rock formation is square about the size nearly of a football field.and is 300ft high.i climbed this rock and took pictures of the twin peaks.in 1999.i wrote a book called Adam’s gold trail.the Navajo nation you can’t make a deal with them. So I forgot it.
Jesse and Hart Mullin dug this for no apparent reason anyone is aware of. The Mullin brothers were friends of Herman Petrasch. It is a pretty well known spot, but not a fun hike to get there. They found nothing, but had it in their heads there was something there, so they kept digging. I believe either Charlie or Larry lost their cell phone on that trip, so if you find it let someone now. I always find it amusing how a lot of modern prospects become almost legendary with a large helping of BS stirred in.
Did you get the gold 👹💩
Funny how he said the mind has been found, but nobody been down there yet so why not send a spider drone down there,lolllll!!!!?
bring a gun with you also, lots of nut jobs still looking for Jacobs Waltz gold
Justajo2
Look me up on FB and message your email I’d like to speak with you.
Larry Hedrick
Nay Nay
5 guys bush wack in 4 come out.
What happened to Larry?
He said he went to the bathroom.
Never saw him again
The superstition mountains are interesting..
You guys should have brought some tools to clear the vegetation so you wouldn’t have got yourselves sliced and diced like that.
I can’t find bayous butte on google maps where is it?
That’s amazing
90% talk about the hike. 5% BS about some "history" on the other side of the mountain and no actual facts about the (not lost) mine.
Chances are the mexicans already overpopulated the territory and got the gold in their mouths
What a bunch of crap, to much talking and not enough showing.
Became bored when you constantly just repeated 3or4 pieces of information adding nothing new.
basically he’s saying, "get your ass in gear and go up there!!! there’s hidden gold in them there mountains!!!"
The abandonded mines guy needs to go here
It looked as if the opening down there was still clear though. We’ll never know until someone actually goes down and in there.
Fast forward to 12:33 There is a single shot of a huge quartzite deposit, oh and by the way I once saw a picture of an 80lb ingot of gold supposedly found at the lost Dutchman mine, way back in 1979. ( Hard to believe today, but back then it was worth 240k).
stop talking show me gold and did you find, as a view we want to see gold less talking
looks like they were digging for bedrock through a few thousand years of erosion deposits.
Share what with the world!!!
15 minutes of talk talk talk.
Nothing, nothing, nothing……
I have hunted in this country many many years, its rough and hard to manage country.
Where bigfoot lives
I really like these guys! BUT they used all the buzz words to make a show. In all my research this mine does not fit a Spanish mine. Just saying.
Hidden antiques near the Superstitions https://youtu.be/mj0Row402dY some of these antiques hold unknown secrets of the Superstition Mountains and the towns surrounding this mysterious place.
You better not be cutting down brush! Wtf dude
I been through that area. Trust what they say. It is very dangerous and NEVER go alone.
Bring a helicopter
looks like a heart attack in the making
