Lost Dutchman Goldmine

Joe, Before I let you know which one's I have narrowed it down too I want to do a little more researching then I will let you know. Seems Cortez's son did buy his exile, I bet it did not come cheap..... Yes I am having fun researching this, I find the chase almost as good as the kill if ya know what...

Joe, That is an interesting post, funny how the name Peralta keeps popping up. I must say I never thought that connection could go that far back. The history of all this sure has some interesting twists. The Royal Fifth seems to be the center of treasure hunters lore, while I must say if I was in th...

Joe, As I read your post about what I said to Tomtom, I find myself being a little humbled. Both times that I have seen his two different post I was not in a good mood due to others things going on in my life right now. When I first came to ths forum one of the things I liked about it was the fact t...

Tomtom, I said usually B.S., if you have something concrete to educate the amatuers, by all means give it up, but dont come on here and say you know the " true " source of the maps and then say I will go silent ( what is the point in going silent? ) . Doesn't make you look very good. I mys...

Joe,

That indian was wise, and when these guy's do decide to say something it is usually B.S.

Joe, You are correct, I do find it rewarding to exchange information with someone I know such as your self. I also find it offensive for someone to come along and make a crack about amateurs and say they know something and can validate it but in the same post say they will go silent for now. I dont ...

Tomtom, Feel free to join in anytime and steer the amateurs down the right path, I am sure they will appreciate it. Why remain silent about the source of the stone maps at this point. If you have something to contribute why leave us all hanging on the edge of our seats. You made some bold statements...

Bill, My feelings did not need to be cooled, if your's were offended at my reply to Peter's post that was not my intent. Sometimes a post comes along to a reply that seems to say a mouthfull as that one did, it just happened to be at your expense! I'm sure your an intelligent kinda guy. I misspell w...

Peter,

Very well put.....Golf Clap.....

Dr. Thomas Glover, Thanks for the reference of the book, I just checked the Library that I use and they do have a copy of it there. I will be picking it up over the weekend. I have to ask, in you research of your book on the Lost Dutchman did you ever run across anyone who thought there might be a J...

Joe, Why yes I a finally amongst the living again, the flu that is going around is brutal. My wife gave it to me....of course sharing is caring. The Burrus book is a thick one at that. It makes for some good reading I find if you are ressearching something in particular. To the casual reader they mi...

Joe, Sorry for delay in answering your post, I have seen and read some of Kino’s Historical Memoirs of Pimera Alta. Yes it is dry reading at times. I never noticed a Peralta name in the book, course at the time I wasn’t looking for one either I was researching something else. I have Kino and Manje E...

Joe,

In any of your research and readings have you ever heard of any priest's escaping the expulsion? By that I mean some who were not rounded up and fled somewhere else. If so, have you seen possibly a list of the names of who had escaped?

Rochha

Peter,

Thanks, Dah.......I should have known or seen that,

Thanks

Rochha

Joe, I have read something's since my last post to you and you are correct, nothing in print ( yet ) matches what is being said about this topic. I believe their material was carefully worded to produce the illussion that they had nothing directly to do with mining. Do you have any idea what the let...

azdave35 Why yes I would like a copy of that if it is possible, is it the same article that shows some of the bars that he found? I also heard that he supposedly had some of these bars on display in some museum in michigan I think, it has been awhile since I read the article. Let me know when you fi...

azdave35 I had no intentions of chasing after any of his stories, I was just wondering how credible his claim was of finding the pure conception mine across the mexican border. I dont believe the pure conception mine is across the border, I feel it is here in az. Thanks for the warning tho........ R...

Peter,

Thanks for the info, where is the smsh located at?

Of course.........

Rochha

azdave35,

Thanks for the response, I came across this guy's name in an article doing some research, it said that he had found the Pure Conception Mine across the border in Mexico and remembered I had seen his name here before in this forum.

Was wonering what ever became of him.......

Rochha

Hello everybody,

Who is this guy? Anyone have any information on him?

Thanks

Rochha

Joe, I just recently became a member of that site, dont do too much posting over there. Have you ever heard of the company that is making that claim? I think as well that their is only one place they can take you to, whether they have found it or not remains to be seen. I myself dont believe too muc...

Joe, Yes indeed Joe that does add a little more insight. I tried to get that book at the ASU Library but the only one they had was in all spanish. I will try and get that book along with the others that you have given me references to. Do you know of any books that specifically talk about the Northe...

Fellow Dutchman Enthusiasts, Hello, I ran across this post in another forum talking about the Peralta Stones and The Lost Dutchman. Follow this link and scroll down to the comment made by the Ouachita Treasure Consulting. http://pub69.ezboard.com/fancientlosttreasuresfrm26.showMessageRange?topicID=2...

Joe, Sorry for delay in gettting back, I have been out of town and didnt get a chance to post before I left. Yes, it is nice have a library that has books of this nature, the ASU Library has tons of books, most of what you have cited to me. I am going to try and get over there soon and check out a f...

Joe, Thanks again for the informative post, I have gone and checked out the book " Antigua California ", it does give an interesting perspective as to what happened. On page 371 it says that " Service in the New World was distasteful to many highborn Spanish Officials ", why? Als...
