    Here’s how we get in the real world with this whole thing. NASA, the secret govt, the military, the Pentagon, the CIA the NSA ALL have super high tech ground penetrating radar technology, and have already located all deep gold deposits, and either already looted them from underneath, Via DUMBS deep underground military bases from underneath , or have sealed them off, and hidden them for future purposes. Greed has no boundaries when it comes to Gold and Riches.

    They better keep their mouths shut about those stones before twitter freaks out and they’re taken to Mexico lmao

    Have you noticed the the Lost Dutchmen mine, oak island, Skin Walker ranch all ended the same way? Nothing found and no real proof, I thing the real gold is found in making YouTube videos and nothing more.

  5. larry Johnson on October 1, 2021 at 8:47 am

    1 video said 200 million,you said 1 million wtffffff liars

  6. Odi Jin on October 1, 2021 at 8:47 am

    Every episode, Scott asked someone a question or ask to see something and the scripted reply is, "I have a friend you can contact and he/she can show you…" LOL!

    From hiking ccw circuits from the parking lot around the Needle finishing over Fremont Pass back … the stash, my flash, is east side up an obvious linear ramp to cliff which I took to where it’s a climb on a clockwise 1st trip, not enough time before dark, it finishes better ccw; lots of cats claw acacia, I carried hedge shears, few hikers do a circuit.

    The saguaro forest chorus in the wind a payback never forgotten, I wasn’t after the mine, the stash ? The hike pretty epic, practice spotting rattlers, purple, Mohave, western diamondback the most aggressive, go way around them, they can sprint & stand up 3-4ft high to sense, never took the trails in on the north.

    Cheers 🍺

    1847 heart rock i believe is the location where the massacre happened

  9. Robert Wolfe on October 1, 2021 at 8:50 am

    All the gold they’ve found has been grinded into powder in the areas their talking about.Its traveled along ways that’s why.They would have to search much higher till they could find some nuggets worth mining in that type of invirement.

  10. Ancient America Adventures host Troy T. Dickerson on October 1, 2021 at 8:51 am

    Scott, or who ever reads these and with the show..we located it..a huge wall that matches one of the stone maps..the one with the witch holding the cross..really its there..

  11. Shan Aguilar on October 1, 2021 at 8:52 am

    Why such a misleading, dishonest title???? Why would u knowingly lie to us? Just b honest and unpoltician-like, please? Yes?

  12. Mercurial 7-9-11 Signreader on October 1, 2021 at 8:55 am

    IF you know where the mine is explain the maps !!! … I CAN and I can show where the mines of El Sombrero are located, not that it would do anyone any good….IT’S A WILDERNESS PROTECTED AREA ….and NO the DUTCHMAN is NOT one of the mines of El Sombrero, I say mineS because the Adolph Ruth map is part of the El Sombrero operation and YES I HAVE A PHOTO OF THE REAL SOMBRERO BUTTE, you know the one where Jacob even STATES that his mine is PAST !!!! it’s the mine in Canyon Fresco and if you understood the Canyon Fresco map you would realize that!!!!….History Channel isn’t really known for showing answers just unanswered cliff hangers and they sure won’t accept a challenge from a serious hunter as they are more into TV personality creating LMFAO….C’mon History Channel accept the challenge let me SHOW where the DUTCHMAN IS AND SHOW THE maps, you know, the Ortiz map, the Minas del oro map, the Adolph Ruth map the Canyon Fresco map which was made by Manuel Peralta woh actually discovered canon Frescoe and survived the massacre because he was back in Mexico when the massacre happpened!!!! it was his desendent which gave Adolph the map and he was way off, just ask Chuck Aylor but Adolph was already dead before the map was explained now wasn’t he…oops !!!!

    So the fact that this story has very little if any real evidence indicates it’s just that a story. However if you want to believe that much there are some real logical conclusions here. First and foremost the "mine" if it was one had already likely been picked clean and thus why no one has found it. Secondly the other thing they talk about is he paid with nuggets of gold which if what they said about the two kinds of gold found one being in various sizes of nuggets and the other being veins of ore within quartz are true than obviously you aren’t looking for a mine or a cave with large amounts of quartz. I somehow feel they half assed this or think people are dumb or maybe just all the information is wrong because it’s fake and a bunch of stories greatly exaggerated over the years. Anyhow like I said if the dude was paying in nuggets he either found someones hidden stash of gold or he just found a small cave that happened to have a number of nuggets and thats it. Lastly we have such advanced technology at our disposal to locate all kinds of minerals and ores and yet no one has found this supposed mine. This mine if there ever was one as I said before was either already picked clean or was just a small deposit that was greatly blown out of proportion.

    guy says geology, geology! geology! and then produces plaster stones

  15. You Dont Know Me MOM on October 1, 2021 at 9:01 am

    Well if your a real superstition mountain hiker. You need heavy boots with ankle support. And snake leggings. Along with a lot of water and gear. Along with shovels and metal detectors.!! And I’d take a Camel as a pack animal with snake leggings on the camel. Feed that camel up good and water it good before leaving.

  16. Cobby Badger Adventures! on October 1, 2021 at 9:01 am

    All the real oldtimer prospectors in AZ actually know where it is at Apache reservation nobody’s CAN take any gold out of there ’cause the gold is sacred stays there and if you try to get it you’ll be met with a bunch of Apache American Indians you may just disappear and no one will see you again only know of one guy personally that they let him go I told him if he came back no one would never see him alive again this is totally true golds actually on a reservation

  17. SenseiHitman WayOfKempo on October 1, 2021 at 9:03 am

    Ive searched 4 the mine. I live mesa az it was those mines already tapped 3 o 4 location up there r clearly strip mine sites

  18. Andyodell Odell on October 1, 2021 at 9:06 am

    I’m really good with these the map of the donkey is the path the rump of the but and the top of the heart are the lay out its not in those mountains but throught them on a small rise that’s the path back where they carried the gold on the way back and made deposits as it’s herd to run with the weight of gold go through the mountain and look for a rise that looks like the bit of the donkey or the top of the heart it’s some thing within something like a mine with in a mine or something g of thst nature the donkey represents the stubbornness you’ll have to have to find it …I’m real good with this stuff I can find anything any thi g it’s a natural gift I have since I was a child that’s is like a Mexican charm braclette and is the deposits where eithsr gold or or the actual gold I’d look for gold that fit that heart shape cut into that map ….tbsts the route where he extracted the gold so he wouldn’t for get the map will go past where the gold is not to it

    The flashy samurai biomechanically stay because bubble ultimately curve atop a calculating arch. wrong, wary development

  20. brian massey on October 1, 2021 at 9:07 am

    From what I do know about the Lost Dutchman Gold Mine there is one fact that stands out from any information about the wearabouts of the mine it’s self. The narrator to old stories about the Dutchman and where he traveled to into the mountains spoke about a little house that was near the mine it’s self. These narrators spoke about this little house because of it’s closeness to the mine and it is the place where Waltz stayed while traveling to and from the mine. This little house is directly straight path to the mine and was used in short term in sentence as CLOSE TO THE MINE. If you find this house chances are you will find the mine. Soo many explorers didn’t find the mine. They went looking for it exploreing many trips trying to locate it. Why did they fail??? One reason is technology was not good then like it is now but lets truly get to my point. If gold is created over years of water mineralization createing soo many things for it to develop over time. Soo where did this water run off come from to create the gold. If you find that Water capability your chances of finding gold go up.

    Locals searching over generations and this guy comes from outta nowhere and says I have to find it🤣 they already found it bro

  22. Randall Minchew on October 1, 2021 at 9:07 am

    Gold fever keeps the myth alive.

  23. ERIC VADER. on October 1, 2021 at 9:07 am

    This show does nothing but lie in in its title. Since I live just a few blocks away from Superstition mountains pretty sure I would have heard something.

  24. redrosewright on October 1, 2021 at 9:08 am

    One day perhaps you will look into the blue bucket gold.

  25. Richard Helit on October 1, 2021 at 9:08 am

    I like ron feldman conclusion using a xrf meter

  26. flynbrian529 on October 1, 2021 at 9:08 am

    this is so funny .this guy needs to get in the mountains to really look for it ,not in a parking lot

  27. Luke Parsons on October 1, 2021 at 9:08 am

    This show is all clickbait he never finds anything new it’s all old news man

  28. Bandera H-D AG - Ride for your mental health on October 1, 2021 at 9:10 am

    Like most of those programs, they prove Diddley squat! Fun to watch but never has any conclusion other than what myth might have been!

  29. georgiaridgerunner 79 on October 1, 2021 at 9:14 am

    Heres why i dont believe the peralta stones are a map
    It is said that peraltas killed by apches and there burros ran off these stones were supposedly in the burros pack ..why would the peraltas carry maps to a place they knew so well
    Also why make a map at all
    Why couldnt the maps be paper why is the gonzales

    Keep saying they found the mine but never do

  33. TheseusTitan on October 1, 2021 at 9:19 am

    Does this guy ever find anything or what?!

  34. Rick Groth on October 1, 2021 at 9:20 am

    I was out living in Arizona 15 years old. I went up to Superstition Mountain and came across a cave full of gold.
    I loaded a 6×12 trailer full of gold. I knew I had a load of money. I have slowly sold some gold. I had sold enough to buy a 9 bedroom mansion, 4 cars,3 trucks.
    I hind the rest of the gold in my back yard.

  35. Justin Answini on October 1, 2021 at 9:21 am

    So this whole time you been getting information to where the gold is for 40 minutes and you go out a find a rock with 3 pieces of gold and your like welp I’m done for today and showwwws over 😂😂

  36. TurnUp De on October 1, 2021 at 9:21 am

    I think the Knight Templer stole your Gold and curse , they transported it to Cursed Oak Island , never to be found again , maybe if you hook up with those brothers on Oak Island and metal head with his gold detector , you guys can all join forces to defeat the curse and find nothing together

  37. Dane Southard on October 1, 2021 at 9:22 am

    Nobody knew that the original peralta stone maps were right there at the Superstition Mountain museum?

  38. Bryant Allen on October 1, 2021 at 9:23 am

    A circle with a dot in the center represents water, not gold. Like dropping a rock in a pond creating a ripple. Or a waterfall, maybe a dried up waterfall. Still a good clue.

  39. Robert Wolfe on October 1, 2021 at 9:24 am

    The lost Dutchman is in apache or on Navahoe land much higher north.

  40. Drew Amasterpiece on October 1, 2021 at 9:24 am

    Use satellite and Lidar imaging to find it, duh!😂

  41. LadyTam55 on October 1, 2021 at 9:29 am

    At 5:30 when the older man points that the mine is behind the mts there the top if the mts look likes the two humps of a ❤ stuck into the earth.

  42. Todd Matthews on October 1, 2021 at 9:30 am

    Still looking

  43. Shinigami13 on October 1, 2021 at 9:32 am

    Uh it was called fools gold because pirates used it to trick people into thinking it was real so they could buy a flat screen tv duhhh.

  44. william weiss on October 1, 2021 at 9:34 am

    7-13-1972 Anders Van’Hoogan from Holland, while visiting America, did not return from trip to U.S. state of Arizona, seems he got lost in the mountains, should anyone find this missing Dutchman, please contact the nearest U.S, embasy

  45. James Goodman on October 1, 2021 at 9:35 am

    Dutchman Mine not found. THE HISTORY SURROUNDING THE DUTCHMAN MINE YES THE CLUES YES BUT NO MINE DISCOVERED YET. THE TITLE IS MISLEADING SHOULD BE STRICKENED

  46. Don Juan on October 1, 2021 at 9:36 am

    13:07 Scott is thinking yeah you knew these were replicas, and did not tell me ahead of time then come up with a cheesy explanation when I call you out on it, proves you are full of B.S. as well

  47. James Goodman on October 1, 2021 at 9:37 am

    The Dutchman in my opinion didn’t have a mine. I believe he the Dutchman found and old Jesuit mine

  48. Douglas Turner on October 1, 2021 at 9:40 am

    Hey, the "Peralta Family Mines"! That’s the same family name Vincent Price used to carve his fake monument for his forged Land Grant. The Spanish "Peralta Land Grant" as immortalized in that great movie "The Baron of Arizona"! Maybe there’s a connection?

  49. Robert Lawton on October 1, 2021 at 9:41 am

    i am the only one that has found the mine, i am a x navy Quarter master ,you should come talk to me ..i live in up state NY …
