Lost Dutchman Goldmine

I just got back and read the posts. Hiker, I don't know if domestic livestock is the same when mine might be classified as commercial livestock. You don't have to be a genius to look and see what is happening all through the U.S.The government is pushing more control not less in all facets of our li...

I'm with ya on that Ron! <br> I wonder if posting "ominous" signs like "Littering is an offense punishable by $500" and "Ranger Patrol Area" would help curb the garbage that goes in (and stays) there. Otherwise, it's just another case of the government throwing more bul...

Well. obviously you've already thought about this "domestic stock" thing, but if not your animals, what ARE they referring to? Cattle could be called commercial stock too. I would interpret it as saying they have no right to try and keep you from water. Wouldn't "domestic" be the...

No, they are not directly aiming at putting us out of business, although , sometimes ,they make it diffcult to operate.The Forest Service is controlled by outside forces, and their greatest force that they listen to is the extreme enviromentalists.The Forest Service oils the squeakist wheel.Certainl...

We dont judge the value of any posting. The plan is to make all the old posts available. The good, bad and ugly ones tool

Do what I always do: click my heels together 3 times, repeating "theres no place like home", then run around in a circle until you get sick. It won't get you home, but it will take your mind off of things.

Dear Fellow Explorers, <br> <br>I have spent the last 15 years of my life in search of the lost dutchman's goldmine, and today, my search is over. I have found it ! It is more beautiful than I had ever expected. Nuggets the size of large rocks ! The glimmer from the gold is almost blinding ... It wi...

I think #1 would be pretty tough too. There are people who know pretty much who comes and goes in the mountains, and when. If you found something and went back in with enough gear to do a little digging, someone would notice. You couldn't do it alone: you would have to have a partner or two, to watc...

Good question... "Earl"...and one I have often pondered. <br> <br>Does one: <br> <br>1)Work it in secret? <br>2)Immediately bring in geologists, archeaologists, and Lord knows what other "ologist" to have a looksy. <br>3)Write a tell all book, showing the world how smart you are....

What do you do if you find the mine? Maybe, just maybe, this is serious question.

I agree 100%, which is why I wouldnt mention the name. Some places up there are best left in peace. <br> <br>P

Maybe we shouldn't say it. All of you know that someone poking around in that area without knowing what they were doing could disappear. I don't think anyone wants that. Then, there's the matter of respect. Those who have some would not want to start a stampede in such a sensitive area. Think before...

Hi Ron, <br> <br>I doubt one of us would say different name.....lol. Some mighty bad country up that ways though. <br> <br>P

Hi Jim, <br> <br> Glad you joined in on the conversation. Maybe we should all say what mountain Peter is talking of at the same time, probaly not one of us would say the same name.Peter seems very knowledgeble and I'm sure has very good information.I re-read the post on the oxbow mountain, and have ...

Hi Ron, <br>I found the web-site! Thanks for the heads-up about it. <br> <br>Looks like you have some very interesting lines of conversation going already. I did see a couple of comments on your Bulletin Board by your guests that made me sit back in my chair, fold my arms and shake my head. I was fo...

I beleive you mean the "curse" of Geronimo? While I tend to doubt that Geronimo personally laid any "curses" on any mines or raidng caches in the Superstitions I do believe there was a Chiricahua presence in the area <br>in the 1800s and that certain areas of the mountains were d...

The cruse of germino?

beware the cruse of germino take heed only apache medicine man can open this scared place. the gold is cursed for anyone who tries to claim it. the curse of germino and the plaques be upon those who dare to enter. the gold is cursed. <br> <br>remember the man that died in 1984 he died a horrible dea...

Hi Jim, <br> <br>It wasnt Black Top Mesa where I had my run in with the cholla, but Black Mesa <br>(north of Black Top), near the cholla forest on the western slope once you climb the long rocky trail from Garden Valley. <br> <br>Lets just say I have been a student of the American Indian for most of...

Alright Peter.... You didn't come by all this information on Doug Stewart's website... <br> <br>It didn't come from any of the Published 'Dutchman' Books either... <br> <br>Don't misunderstand me, I do not disagree with anything you said. I just wonder how a guy in New York knows so much about the A...

According to Ely, it was Capt. R, F, Perrin and Lt. Commander Wm. F. Clements who found Cravey. Sheriff Early went in the next day and bagged the bones. According to Ely. Anyone have other info?

Doug Stewarts website is: <br> <br>www.lost-dutchman.com <br> <br>It is invaluable for finding books and manuscripts on the subject. I highly recommend it. <br> <br>Your comments about a "curse" deserve further comment. I do not beleive the mountains or any mine or caches that may or may n...

Yep, that's the sketchy information I've heard over and over.

I spoke to a good friend of mine about the Cravey episode yesterday. While he didnt add anything terribly new, there is now no doubt in mind that Cravey was found in the wrong place at the wrong time by certain folks. <br> <br>Craveys body was found under peculiar cir[beep]stances. Some months after...

i too would bepleased to find a little more info on cravey.as you said info on cravey seems rather sparse-it seems dutchman authors dont seem to have picked up on this story-which to me anyway seems every bit as intriguing as the ruth episode. im not at all sure i believe the report that craveys hea...
