Having translated the hand writen treaser map of J. Wals, You first need to understand that J. Wals was a 36 degree Mason. (a "Judge") The map is formulated with what J. Wals considered to be expressing his grater knowledge. Looking to the bottom right hand corner you will see what the reader might overlook to be a set of a vertical scribblings. This is a (cryptogram) remark of ( man being a monkey or monkeyman), awaiting translation. Noting this as not a probable insult. (interactive variant) this is a key on how to clime up and understand the maps cipher. R-L, from out of the CAVE on the right side,, accounting the mountains on the left side. The top of the map is based on chemistry, (MATH/Numbering) The map is formulated with symbolism that is interactive.
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!
U can sit down in the desert
And if u take your eyes off the
Ground around u u may see a
Rattlesnake by your feet then
It might b to late for u. It almost
Happen to me. I have seen them
In caves, in bushes, and menny
Other places.
There’s no record of the Dutchman ever taking anyone to his mine. One person moving and installing the heavy timbers show in the tunnel, highly unlikely.
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.
The story that I heard was that the gold mentioned at 20:28 was found in a man made cave 200 yards down a tunnel in the floor that Scott was standing in front of. The cave he went to is government land. 4 gentleman discovered the gold. 3 rows 3 feet long. Stacked gold bars. They brought it up but the gold was seized
As always, click bait headline with no results.
a show based on lies and some truth, just to get people to watch.!!!
This dude never finishes what he started!I do like the information he brings to light, cause I never heard of any of these places, so I appreciate it for that aspect! I wish he could just say yatzee 1 time, but also, what’s with the Masonic compass???
I’ve known that the mapstones had been in the museum for years, I even have pictures of them from back in the days, so at the beginning of the movie, I’m like- ok, I know exactly where the original stones are… Haha, so I’m glad someone finally contacted you. An fyi-anyone who has ever taken this quest seriously, has eventually bumped into the originals in order to fulfill their quest… This still remains today, the one and only reason to even visit Arizona. The mystery of the lost Dutchman mine. 🤍
I Believe The Government has dark Operations looking for all this😎 But that is just a conspiracy theory
I can tell you for a fact, being a resident and knowing many of the locals in this series, that most of it is bogus. Made me never trust the History Channel again after watching these falsehoods and made up events.
yes true
So when I googled Mash- sports. Its some type of company assocaited with baseball. They have aloamt 1 trillon stored in Isadore- he has the record for expert goddess offers. He might be someone that new about the 9.11 attck on the world trade- and hid his idenity. But thank you.
You want to see the LDM up close and Personal then you need to contact me. I am to this date the only person that has actually seen, been inside the mine and most of all I know the exact location. Tom Feldman is good but he has No Clue where the Mine is at , Tom Koll e n born (had to your comment section does not recognize NAME) was a Great Man but even he never knew where the LDM was located. The Original so called Peralta Stones disappeared probably 20 yrs ago and no one wants to come forth and say who has them. The Stone Maps are real if you can find the originals but they were made by Jesuit Priests not Mexican Land Owners. I started prospecting just after high school graduation in 1982, its been 40 yrs from a Hobby to the only employment I can work withy my disability. Seriously, you need to contact me!
Well one of the clues was the setting sun shines into his mine. Doesnt seem like the eastern side of the superstitions is a good place.
Stone maps… come on lol 😂
Well when you hear Scott’s name on a show you then know nothing is solved. Just a show with a bunch of talk
The History Channel has a way of making people think they are actually doing something… 🙄
THEIS BE FOR I NEU BATOR .
Hes searching private property not because he got some cool new tip, he couldn’t get filming permits for the soups lol
Nope you didn’t
Quiet is cool at times. Let’s the viewers mind engage.
I believe that the lost Dutchman mine will never be found. For one simple reason the deutschman originally lived in Phoenix a hundred years ago was not nearly as big as it is today. So when you travel up the canyon North Phoenix nowadays. The city has expanded exponentially. If she would have been on foot and traveling with a pack mule or donkey then he would have averaged about six to eight miles per day if it would have taken him 3 days to get to his mind then that’s only about 15 to 18 miles from downtown Phoenix. Where his girlfriend lived. So more than likely the mind is located either in someone’s backyard or under somebody’s house or maybe it’s under some housing development. And all the clues that the History channel and the government allows us to know if steering everyone in the wrong direction. Because the government and large corporations don’t want the average Joe to find that. Think about how our society works people with power want to remain in power governments have special projects that they don’t want us to know about so the best way for them to do what they want is to find other means to fund their projects so therefore they don’t have to explain their spending to us. What’s that in mind I would guarantee that the last Dutchman is already been found and completely mind out. And then covered up by some government agency maybe it’s a lake or a reservoir now cuz they buried a lot of secrets that they didn’t want the public to know about under lakes. And back in the 40s and 50s when they found most of the stuff they would build a big dam and flood it to keep local average citizens out of their business. Lake Powell is one of those. Many buried secrets. There are parts of the Grand canyon that if you go there you’ll be in a lot of hot water. It’s a national park but don’t take pictures of certain areas.
If the History Channel or anyone else would like to one day actually have the chance to stand in the canyon that the LDM sits in, Then they need to contact me.
Every time I start watching one of theses doc’s, I know that you won’t find what your looking for. You leave the audience with more questions than before . Have you ever found anything ? Or found any answeres?
It’s all BS…
Tom Feldman states the (so called) Peralta Stones he has are the Same Size Same Shape and Everything on the…. STOP! No, they do not have everything on them, Period End of Bloody Story. The ones Tom has are a Bloody wall decoration not an authentic replica that has Documentation supporting it. "What the Original Stone Maps were, is a Story of building a Scared Heart to Store a Huge Treasure… I.E. The Larin Heart". The canyon the LDM sits in is the Canon Fresco Canyon which to my belief is where the Guadalupe Mines were originally located at. It might sound far fetched but if you think about it, Its not as crazy as it sounds. And I can prove every word I state 1000%.
This show and this guy are pure garbage makes all these big claims and never comes through with any of them
And the Black Queen.
I know where the Dutchman is located, I can explain about 90% of the Peralta Stones. I need an investor.
Real life holes.
The mine was there with the Spanish before the Dutchman got there,,,
Man I wish I had his phone service… He can get text out in the middle of nowhere in a cave. Imagine that….
Is everything the history channel does have to be overstylized?
Sometimes these shows are as bad as Hallmark movies.
Something that Huge will not and should not be Divulged.I would have pictures of said Gold But never the Location.
How can they call this show "unearthed " when yet again, nothing was uncovered, explained for a fact except …yep.. still nothing
I see it already. It’s in full view no one sees it but me. What a gift.
I call bs on all of it 🤣

100% bs, and always was. !!!
I hope Scott finds something big. These shows are entertaining…I don’t expect them to be doctoral research program.
Clay Worst from the WASP MINE IN APACHE JUNCTION KNOWS ALL
14:21 WTF?
Why do we need a butt shot at 30 feet looking outside from the inside of a shack when he says "let me ask you another question."
Who produces this junk.
Hearts are just to perfect for someone to have carved in the desert
You lost all credibility being politically correct with history , I know you to be secular atheist so your oath and a Confederate dollar
have the same value.
One thing I noticed about shows like this: They are always searching but they never find anything substantial. Then the episode just ends without a real conclusion. Rinse and repeat.
One story says he was not Dutch. He was German. Germans are called Deutsch (Doich) which sounds like Dutch to an American that didnt like foreginors anyway.
I think quartz is fossil blood plasma .That is why it is in veins . the GIANT creatures of the past had gold and silver in their veins , quartz has all kinds of minerals in it just like our blood also has . Fossil BIOLOGY is GEOLOGY . But the GEOLOGIST won’t agree with me . They can’t see the fossil flesh in Geology , but I can .
He didn’t even look for it
