Lost Dutchman Goldmine

Hello Roy, America is a wonderful place. It gives us all opportunities to do things with our lives that are rarely possible in most of the world. Having said that there were worlds that existed before this one that attaches to some of us but not to others. The children of Calalus cared for the libra...

Hello Roy, Seems your panties are in quite the wad there. Perhaps keeping to the discussion would be helpful and trying to avoid well sensationalism would be a better path. I have indicated that the trail maps have multiple meanings. I will present three. 1. Joe`s solution is the well best of the li...

Hello Mr. Ribaudo, Let`s see. The Stone Maps, The Tucson Artifacts, Circlestone, Calalus, Oz, The Bible. You folks really have been given a wealth of things to ponder. Perhaps the first thing to do is consider what is the common element in all of these gifts. I would just offer that deception and re...

Hello Mr. Ribaudo, Oh I would contend that how the artifacts arrived on Silverbell is quite significant. The same planting argument was made regarding the discoveries made at Valsequillo Reservoir, and like the planting assertions regarding the Tucson Artifacts were pretty silly. If you haven`t read...

Hello Mr. Ribaudo, Peter is out of pocket for a while so let`s see. Just curious did you ever figure out who planted the Tucson Artifacts? The library of Oz has been visited by a number of folks. As far as languages go I am no expert but it is safe to say the language of the Ancients was not created...

Hello Randy, The Ark of the Covenant? Good question. The library of Oz went back at least 10000 years and chronicled the world of a more ancient people. America was a very interesting place from what can be determined. On another ancient story that is of interest to some folks is the history of the ...

Hello Somehiker, I have always been impressed with Mrs. Staude`s creation, "a chapel dedicated to finding God through art". I would imagine the only thing that would complete it would be an observatory. Perhaps the chapel is very, very close to a ancient site. A site that opens many gates....

Hello Mr. Ribaudo, I really was interested in your answer to the question of who planted the artifacts. Seems we have one vote for the Confederates, one vote for the survivors of Calalus, and it appears the intellectual community votes to lay it all on the discoverers. I have to assume you simply be...

Gentlemen: The artifacts on Silverbell Road and Valsequillo Reservior have one simple message. They were here. Because of this their discoverers were villified and treated with contempt. The difference being that Bent knew the artifacts were real before he passed away. He saw the truth. The artifact...

Hello Mr. Ribaudo Perhaps it would serve us to return to the original focus of this discussion. At that time two different positions were put forward to explain the deposition of the artifacts on Silverbell Road. 1. The artifacts were planted approximately 10-20 years before the discovery. 2. The ar...

Hello Mr. Ribaudo,

Can't believe I just responded to your posts and lost the whole thing.

I will crank it up again tomorrow.

Ben

Hello Paul, Thanks for your kind offer. Perhaps it was a bit of fate that I could not figure the computer out. After reflection I would have to agree with Klondike and Dog. Simply put you believe in Oz and we have always said you have to believe in Oz to see it. We will simply send things to you and...

Hello Mr. Ribaudo I believe your points are: 1. How does one account for the artifacts being found at various depths? Your examples being Artifact 15 at a depth of 42" and Artifact 24 at a depth of 78". 2. It seems you account for the deposition of the artifacts by suggesting that a trench...

Hello Mr. Whitepaws I just got back recently and saw your post. I am not sure how folks can do this sort of thing, but I guess an education does not necessarily improve the ethical qualities in an individual. Klondike "First, you ask us to believe the conclusions and work of Bent, over the opin...

Hello Mr. Ribaudo, Klondike will be out of pocket for a while and he asked me to convey to you the importance of artifact 18 that was missing in his last post. Artifact 18 is both a history book and a map. As klondike mentioned on the left side of the artifact is the word Calalus, on the opposite si...

Ben, The more I read of the McGee/Bent correspondence, the more I understand your trying to make a Calalus/OZ/Superstition Mountains connection. Not that there is any evidence to support those connections, but I can see why you have attempted to do so. In the letters, Bent shows a casual interest in...

Hello Mr. Ribaudo, I hope you enjoy Mr. Bent`s work. As he said it is not a work of art it is however the most detailed history of the artifacts out there. While Mr. Bent defends his position as to the genuiness of the artifacts he is not shy about presenting opposing views. I believe it was on 01/2...

Mr. Ribaudo, If you indeed take the time to acquaint yourself with the most detailed work ever written on the Tucson Artifacts and as Ely said become communicative, ask yourself a few questions. 1. This whole business ended up exactly the way it was intended. While the intellectual community was bus...

Mr. Ribaudo,

I really should proof this stuff. Layer after layer, not lawyer after lawyer. Have to say there might be something to that mistake.

that I have provided, not if have provided.

Hope you get a copy, read it and get back to me. I am interested in your thoughts.

Klondike

Hello Mr. Ribaudo, I have been out of pocket for a while and just saw your post today. I believe there are a number of copies out there. Seems you should be able to secure one from a library. The copy I have was given to my father by Bent and has some rather personal information that I am not prepar...

Mr. Ribaudo,

Sometimes age is a terrible thing but it is also very funny also. the Comment about Covey`s mine should have been Covey`s mind.

Take Care,

Klondike

Mr. Ribaudo, From your silence I can only assume you have not read Mr. Bent`s book therefore you have no real first hand knowledge of the Tucson Artifacts or the events surrounding the dig. Therefore your ability is limited in seperating the truth from fiction. First off saying there is a holy place...

Hello Mr. Ribaudo, One final thought. You should never underestimate the use of hidden meanings in books or other forms of communication. Do you remember what the main city of Calalus was? Let`s assume the major city was Rhoda. Rhoda comes from an ancient greek word meaning the rose flower. For year...

Mr. Ribaudo, If you really want to understand the Tucson Artifacts you will have to acquaint yourself with Bent`s work, "The Tucson Artifacts". This is the only work that gets to the level of detail that can create in you a sense of awe and wonder surrounding the discoveries, and make it p...

Hello Mr. Ribaudo, Circlestone, The Testamont Stone and surroundings encampments, The real and forged Calalus artifacts, the Stone Maps and hidden Star Charts therein. Seems that dismissing all of this as silliness is a bit premature. But maybe you would be more comfortable considering the words of ...
