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.

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.
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.
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.
Hello. Greeting from Albania.
there’s a huge compound with SUV’s in the superstition mountains. regardless, there was family YT video (i think of geronimo) that he is buried far away in a private location. anything he had is probably in some sacred place also.
Ty for sharing.
The best treasure is the hardest to find.
Another cash of rifles and union solider buttons and food pots. . South of Dos Cabassa
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
Nice vid thanks🇺🇸👊
Metal detectors do wonders if they find old artifacts be really cool an save for more generations to see in a museum
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.
The JESUITS cleared that out centuries ago lol
Who lost it
Geronimo wasn’t found that far north
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
What a beautiful country…
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!)
Gold I need Gold ✨️
I wanna go
The Real Treasure (for me) was Finding, Seeing, &

I went to basic at fort sill in 02 my Drill sgt told me the storey and i researched it
What did u find nuthing wasted my time atop perpatrating the punch
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.
Geronimo did not value gold, there is no gold near the Superstition mountains.
There is a mine on the Ft Irwin reservation in California.
Interesting bit of history. Thank you for sharing.
Just subscribed, amazing location, so beautiful..!!! Love the history..!!!
We don’t care for money
Love to sight see the wonderful places
Love it
Very cool, thank you.
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.
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
🤣🤣 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.
All them entrances seem more like a tactical attack position. Great cover and upper ground . Especially if there is no gold there

By the way, Random Tangents, you are not looking for the signs left by the Spanish. If the signs are there, you could be on the right trail very quickly. If the signs are not there, then it is a lovely hike.
I enjoy treasure stories, thank you for sharing!
