Lost Dutchman Goldmine

DAMN....Have a Beer and relax.

Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter. The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention o...

I've been absent for awhile and low & behold whadda ya know......this subject is at the heart of my absence, my return from AZ was tainted by a brewing storm that started with a trust issue from 7 1/2 years ago and just keeps rearing it's ugly head. I've always believed (and have taught my Child...

Thank you Joe & Roger, I thought this would be something my wife could enjoy doing with me. We are both Disabled Vets and while I can still get around pretty good she has a harder time in rough country. She would like to come along with me into the Superstitions but thats just not possible so I ...

Say....while I'm down here in Az I'd like to spend a day looking for Geodes, any tips on where I might go?

I hope to attend the Dutch Hunter's Rendezvous one of these days but I'm only able to visit the Phoenix area in Jan, Feb & Mar. Hopefully I will be able to come down here in the fall and join you in the future.

I went though the 2nd water area yesterday and while they didn't come after me there were lots of them concentrated at one of the upper pools. I decided to let them have that one. I was amazed at how loud the buzzing was.....reminded me of some of the Mosquito swarms I hear at my home on Lake Traver...

I downloaded Google Earth to my computer and for the most part think it's worthwhile having.........however......while using it for the Superstition's I could not help but notice that IMHO the most prominent landmark isn't highlighted. Of course anybody with a basic understanding of the area can loc...

Hello and Welcome to the Forum Scoots.
Who knows why your question didn't show up but it didn't so just repost it. A few weeks back a post of mine was double posted.......so maybe I'm at fault for taking up cyberspace for your post

Hello Gene, About 6 months ago my Dad went through the same thing with his Gall Bladder, there were NO options but to remove it which they did. It was a rough coupla weeks afterwards but he's doing great now. He also has other Medical issues he's dealing with (he's 73) which made his recovery more o...

Gene, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad to hear that while you still have issues with your health that Cancer is not one of them. I've sat here for the last few days trying to come up with some words that might help in some way but I just couldn't. My heart knew what I wanted to say but my feable br...

YIKES!!!!!! Elvis & Tom Selleck
Just kidding Ron. I loved the show.

BrokeBack Mountain??????? Excuse me......I need to go upchuck

Say.......this is a name (Hope Root) I came across on a internet search as to a person said to have found a Mine/Cache of gold in the Superstitions. There were no details, just the name. I have not found any other ref to this name......anybody here ever heard the name mentioned?

Did Emil Thomas know Herman Petrasch? Brad Johnson places Herman in Washington in 1892.....Emil left Phoenix 1890 and arrived in Washington in the early 1890's ( I know he was there in 1894 as Emil and Leontina were married then but so far thats the earliest I can place him there but it seems unlike...

Ok....1st off.....sorry about the double post, not sure what happened there. 2nd.......I did find something about a Herman Petrasch with a Country of Origin Germany in Whatcom County Wa. on 10 MAR 1887 http://www.secstate.wa.gov/history/search_detail.aspx?r=36&id=12384 But again......not sure if...

Lets see if I can remember....oh yeah.....The Petrasch family :lol: Well I don't know if this has any bearing on the subject but I found a ref to Herman Petrasch coming to AZ from Washington State not Montana. I found it at http://www.treasureexpeditions.com/Lost_Dutchman_Gold_Mine.htm in a story by...

Joe, You took my post EXACTLY as it was intended. And yes.......It probably shouldn't have been in this thread but I've been sitting here in the Frozen Tundra of MN reading what has been going on and I felt it was time to give you the dues you deserve. Toe stepper? Yes.....Caustic? Yes.....Heavy Han...

Joe, I gotta say.......you sure do know how to stir a fire :lol: . And while some here hate that about you, IMHO it is of great value for the board and I enjoy it (even though I don't always agree with you). If ya build a fire and just leave it alone it will eventualy burn down and go out if someone...

Gene, It's good to see you posting but in the next breath it brings saddness to hear of your health decline. While I have never met you in person (but would love to) we did talk via E-Mail and of course I've read your Book Borrego 13, both of which I enjoyed and they showed me you are a good Man and...

Having not known Steve all I can say is Happy Trails to you Steve and may the Wind be forever at your back.

To Steve's Family & Friends.....you have my Heart Felt Condolences.

Greg

Amen to that.

I found this while searching for something else but thought it may be of interest. Helen Corbin was interviewed by Barbara Simpson on the radio show Coast to Coast AM on 10/19/02. http://www.coasttocoastam.com/guests/74.html I'm not a member (you have to be to listen to the shows from the archive's ...

Thank you Joe, From the limited things I have read about Al Morrow it seems that everyone agree's on one thing about Al........He was one of the "Good Guys". I'm not sure which topic it was but I remember reading one of your posts where you included part of a letter from your Uncle and he ...
