    Just curious can you use metal detectors or gpr to see if gold is present?

  2. Enrique Sada on April 1, 2023 at 10:13 am

    False: spaniards did’nt invade really, and they did not killed Moctezuma. Another detail: the aztecs where hated by ALL TRIBES WHO WHERE RAPED AND EATEN by them on a yearley basis of 20-30,000 a year during 122 years of tyranny. Also, no gold could be sent north to the american southwest because all the tribes HATED THEM AND WOULDNT LET THEM EVEN PASS NORTH FROM the Anahuac Valley in Central Mexico

    I can’t believe the history channel keeps repeating this misinformation, Jacob Waltz was a DEUTSCHMAN (German) not a “Dutchman “.

  4. Warren louisiana on April 1, 2023 at 10:15 am

    I do not think that mine was the Dutchman’s mine what so ever.Ron Feldman said the Dutchman was cleaned out with nothing left,,the Dutchman was checked at $110,000 per ton…the gold in this video was no where close to that,,,,,

  5. Alvaro Solano on April 1, 2023 at 10:17 am

    The Spaniards stole just about all of our gold hopefully we can get it back thieves

    wow

    Searching for precious metal treasures requires delagent research and the knowledge of the physics used in dowsing. Read and study the book, The Art of Dowsing – Separating Science from Superstition, for learning all of the physics used in dowsing and how to build the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod. Then become a professional dowser by practicing the book’s dowsing lessons. I hope dowsing enriches your life and have a safe, healthy, good day.

    Human Nature/Animal Nature is ALWAYS take the (Esiest Way out).
    The Gold is placed in a pit, Buried and a Large Boulder placed over it NEARBY. THIS is where I would begin searching. J. Terran author of ANCIENT MYSTERIES REVEALED.

    The aztec went back with the aliens visitors to their portal through space where the people of machipichu

    I don’t understand why English language always call the last Aztec Emperor Montezuma. It’s MOCTEZUMA. MOC-TE-ZUMA. There is NO "N". His names has NOTHING to do with a mount. His name means: "he who is angry in a noble manner."

  11. Off Grid on April 1, 2023 at 10:27 am

    Huh, the, History Channel had became the drama queen channel!
    This has pretty much been found. However a little rare critter in the water over rules it’s chance of recovery. So history is going to scab some views of their own. Now, superstition and Montezuma are two different separate instances. The fake history channel is the new drama queen. Since the curse of oak island history has became milkmaids! A one hour special could hold the entire years events yet they have 20 shows with 2 minutes of new material each episode!

    Have you ever heard of GGPA the 2 main owners that started it they found on one of the military bases either in Arizona or New Mexico they were out there prospecting and they ran across a like land mark. That turned out to be a very big stash of Spanish Gold they had a big diesel vacuum truck the tunnel was full of sand after they got down there they found many millions of dollars in gold.

  13. Jan Johannes Smith on April 1, 2023 at 10:31 am

    History says Montezuma traveled from Utah with a load of gold based on a spirit vision he traveled to Mexico City where he butchered 40,000 Indians and enslave the rest and dug up even more gold for his coltish empire and then in fulfillment of ancient prophecy they welcomed Cortez on the shores of the beach but their friendship soon went sour when the greedy murderous Spaniards kept demanding more so Montezuma fled to his ancestral Homeland. And what’s also omitted from history books is a fact when the Spanish defeated the Moors they got the maps in the stories of all the history and minds of North America and they’d been here before! So so your interpretation story seems very regurgitated cartoonish and a grand dies like an advertisement. Anyway that’s all

  14. DaTIP3R on April 1, 2023 at 10:31 am

    It’s MoCtesuma not MoNtesuma…

  15. Winona shawana on April 1, 2023 at 10:32 am

    He is right they could be as far as up to Canada in those days descendants

  16. oz sala on April 1, 2023 at 10:33 am

    Why are you looking for gold can you answer how the Incas Aztecs Mayans Incas died after Spaniards came brought their diseases into a clean environment. There’s no gold it’s just bad TV this is a disappointment and Discovery channel. Let’s see if the Mexican cartel let these self proclaim explorers pull gold out of Mexico what would be the great outcome of that

  17. Adan Martinez on April 1, 2023 at 10:33 am

    It’s moctezuma!!!!

  18. JW on April 1, 2023 at 10:36 am

    An Ice Age was coming, maybe a Little Ice Age. Is that why they went south, climate change, or just weather changed?

  19. Victario on April 1, 2023 at 10:36 am

    Jacob was German not Dutch

  20. Jose Quintero on April 1, 2023 at 10:36 am

  23. Diego Medina on April 1, 2023 at 10:40 am

    On June 30 1520 as the Spaniards were retreating to Tlaxcala after La Noche Triste, soldiers that had plundered the gold dropped it to save their lives. Probably now lies under millions of tons of concrete in Mexici City.

  27. brian massey on April 1, 2023 at 10:43 am

    I think you guys are looking for the real thing? It’s just outside of Vernal Utah maybe 20 miles west of it at the most. The mystery behind the Lost Rhodes Mines are still out there just waiting to be found today. That gold ALOT OF IT has still not been found and most people that live in Utah don’t care for it or know about it’s true presense.

  28. axe six on April 1, 2023 at 10:44 am

    When the emperor was caught, he was tortured really bad because they wanted his treasures but only told them that there was a treasure to keep them looking for it their whole life

  29. Will Cordero on April 1, 2023 at 10:45 am

    1:03 lmaoooo

  30. Pshe Val on April 1, 2023 at 10:45 am

    LOL is Moctezuma, not Montezuma, wtf

  31. Vladimir on April 1, 2023 at 10:47 am

    I know where my next treasure trip is going to be

  32. CJ on April 1, 2023 at 10:47 am

    The treasure is Mayan. Not Aztec

  33. Carlos A.N on April 1, 2023 at 10:49 am

    The Mexicas did not escape from combat. Many Mexica families left but the Mexica warriors that hid the gold were placed in the frontlines and took the secret to the grave. There is only a few Mexicans who actually know where this goal is located…. and they are those who understand the ancient Aztec riddle.

  34. Viet Breeder on April 1, 2023 at 10:50 am

    Search for Stylianos Atteshlis, he is the reincarnation of Montezuma. He said that the king had made a deal with the Spanish that if he give them all the gold, they would leave the aztec in peace. But Cortez betrayed his promise and killed Montezuma after being lead to the vault by the King.

  35. Armani on April 1, 2023 at 10:52 am

    Love watching documentaries like this.

  36. Phire on April 1, 2023 at 10:52 am

    That dude does mind, he minds A LOT. You know a lot of people go into those mountains and never come out. He was throwing out some serious killer vibes

  37. tae smellsbad on April 1, 2023 at 10:53 am

    1:04 lmao

  38. Emily G on April 1, 2023 at 10:54 am

    Wouldn’t their ancestral homeland have been in Canada or near the Canada-US border?

  39. Titanes Martial Arts on April 1, 2023 at 10:54 am

    Moctezuma people Moccccctezuma

  40. urbex dave uk on April 1, 2023 at 10:55 am

    This gold belongs to Native Mexican people it’s their heritage

  41. Jose Diosdado on April 1, 2023 at 10:56 am

    You want to find montezumas gold go to Spain and you’ll find it

  42. Christopher Leon on April 1, 2023 at 10:57 am

    I dnt think Aztecs went that far from Mexico City to Utah

  43. Boolin on April 1, 2023 at 10:57 am

    Kanab Utah is more likely to have treasures.

  44. leonel martinez on April 1, 2023 at 11:02 am

    Montezuma gold is all in Spain, those Spaniards were torturing and murdering anybody who didn’t tell them where the gold was.
    Montezuma himself got tortured and burned by Cortez men to get information from him.
    Superstition mountains is not even connected to Aztecs. Those mountains are apache mountains. Bunch of nonsense!

  45. Liz A on April 1, 2023 at 11:03 am

    Moctezuma with "c"

  46. Jared Palmer on April 1, 2023 at 11:05 am

    So check this out. I’m glad this video mentions Freemont natives. BECAUSE – back in the early 2000s . Utah was building what’s called TRAX which is an inner city train like a subway. When they were building the platform downtown for this train, they unearthed one of the biggest Freemont living spaces ever discovered and instead of reporting it they buried it under the train platform. All that remains now is a plaque on the train platform that says exactly this.

  47. Powerlifterusa on April 1, 2023 at 11:07 am

    You don’t think they would have mentioned the lake was salty?

  48. J Hernandez on April 1, 2023 at 11:07 am

    Aztecs carrying tons of gold all the way to Utah..? i reckon the gold is under Mexico city

  49. cuda40 * on April 1, 2023 at 11:10 am

    Global warming back then what? There’s no cars though how. Lol

  50. fire stander man77 on April 1, 2023 at 11:10 am
