Lost Dutchman Goldmine

The documentary is still being worked on. Hopefully it will some day soon come to pass. Chewie is working very diligently on the project. It will be another way to document what we did, which does not happen enough . Too many things are lost to all of us, because someone didn't record what happened,...

The excavation was completed June 9, 2005. We are working on a documentary, so the other web site is abandoned at this time. That site was only put up while we were working. What was found out, was history that was denied prior by academia. The results are made public in my new book " Deep Faul...

Just thought I would let everyone know that my lastest book " Deep Fault" is out. It is the sequel to " Crooked Mountain". You can order it from my web site at www. okcorrals .com

I have not posted in some time. Just lots of things happening; however not even being related to the Dutchman mine, I thought you would all get a kick out of an interview I just did for The Daily Show , with Jon Stewart. Although it aired January 24, you can see it on the internet under Comedy Centr...

It's worse than that. Did the old man take a vehicle from Phoenix?28 miles is a drop in the bucket when one considers how far he was from Phoenix. Also why would he take the route that Sluicebox suggests? No matter where the Dutchman went in from it was one long way , which certainly would of taken ...

TGH,

Oh, does it now?

Joe, Thanks for that into. I'm sure they are great books but I bet they don't have just what I need. I will check. I need names of men that were with these early scouts, 1846-1849. Whatever they were doing and where they were at doesn't matter. Pauline Weaver is the man I'm looking for the most but ...

Hey guys, Back to your discusion about military trails. Try Frazier road #8. Probably late 1870's. If you find anything let me know. Also, what records are available of Pauline Weaver, Mose Carson and other early explorers along with the men they traveled with from 1832-1850? Pro French-Confederates...

Joe The funny thing is that my horses' name is "Doc", and he is already fixed so put your knife away. You might cut the wrong thing. Besides that it's probably dull as a Iowa farmer. We call him Doc because it's a name to get familiar with when you ride him. A healthy respect for his power...

Hello Joe, My horse didn't go lame he went crazy! Maybe when I see you next you can help with that. I bet if we pack your camp on his back that will permanantly fix him. Ha, Ha. Hope things are going well. See you later. Jesse J. Feldman

Hi Joe and everyone else I haven't met. Just a heads up to say dutchhunter.com is up and running, forum and all. If you haven't seen it yet you might be interested. Be welcome. Jesse J. Feldman

JUST TO LET ALL KNOW, WE WILL KEEP THIS NEW WEB SITE POSTED AND UPDATED EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE EXCAVATION IN THE Superstition Mountains. Your comments can still be registered here. The web site is still under construction, but I hope to have it house the information as we find it.

Well Wiz, that's quite a responsibility. I've known alot of men that are dead now, that if we find anything would also vindicate their search. I guess we all owe at least some of them, a debt of gratitude. If we do prove out any history, it was done on the shoulders of some of these men, and of cour...

Thank you for your well wishes. We have set our camp in and have begun to carry timbers for reshoring to the site. As a matter of fact last week , two people that you would all know, helped in that process, Jim Hatt and Jack Carlson. I will keep this site updated. Win, Lose, or Draw, it will be an a...

Just to touch base, ( I guess you guys are my base?), we will begin to open the mine on September 11, 2004. We will start by setting in a camp at the trailhead. Let me state officially what it is that we hope to determine or find. Everyone talks of the Spanish, Peraltas, and land grants, but there i...

It was asked by one of the new members, as to who got the gold , treasure, etc., if one found it. To reiterate, under a treasure trove permit from the forest service, one can search legally for man made treasure, i.e. , bullion, jewerly, coins. If one was to get a permit, the law is very sketchy as ...

P

anytime , call and make sure I'm here.

Joe, a little correction. George Young did not establish Goldfield or Youngsberg in 1893. That was Hall and Sullivan. George young aquired the area and the Mammoth Mine around 1910 till about 1929.

Just to add a thought or two. I too have spent time in trying to run down the soldier's names. However , I think the date of this occurence may have been earlier. I found a claim called the Sky Blue, I suppose most know where that area was. At any rate it was claimed by a couple men, one of which wa...

Wiz, Look at the Tonto National Forest's map 2oo1, There is no Weavers Needle. Why, is a very good question. Maybe part of the answer can be obtained by looking further at the map to notice springs, historical places , such as Aylor's Caballo camp amongst others are gone. I think it is a methodical ...

I would like to reply to some of what Tom first posted in this subject. I shall with a chuckle try to quote from the movie "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance." " When the legend becomes more interesting than the history, print the legend." And so it has been done . Tom, you sugges...

thank to both of you for the comments. No seat belts on this guy. He rides in and out by himself. If the dream wasn't still with him , he would not still be with us.

Summer is here and things slow down for us, so it's time to get back into the foray on this site. It's been a busy season and it's seems to be a red light on our trove dig. Glad to see most of you are still with us( in more ways than one). This spring we packed the oldest dutchman hunter , that I kn...

Dutchelm disease, I think you answered your own question. Although it may not be important as to which hole is where the fact is the entry hole was on the right side and the exit was on the left side of the head. I'm sorry , but at this time the source of what I saw , cannot be told as yet, but I'm ...

Peter, I guess this is my day to be on the site for awhile. Can't add a whole lot here on the man, other than I did meet him a few times. The first time was when I first came to the mountains. I drove up to the ranch house at First Water and met him there. He was friendly and informative about the t...
