Lost Dutchman Goldmine

Also, as I read Tom's article, it doesn't make any sense to me that he was involved with the manifest? Did you reread his article and what am I missing? Novice You might all do well to consider that Helen Corbin’s source for this document (Ships Manifest) and for the Draft Warrant are one and the s...

Roger, AMEN! To bad your outstanding observations and comments were ignored by those that are the worst offenders. Those that they are trying the hardest to offend don't seem to be worrying about it. So why should it bother the rest of us? It's become second nature for me to simply scroll past posti...

There was a book published in 1990 on the subject of Ancient Aztec mines in the Superstitions. The following is a quote from Doug Stewart's website at: http://www.lost-dutchman.com/dutchman/related.html#babcock Babcock, R.G. (Jerry) Chicomoztoc I.M.O. Marshall Mo.: Green Printers, Inc., 1990. Softco...

[quote="Joe Ribaudo"]Redison, You said: "In all fairness I have not really completed "THAT MUCH" reading on the subject. I guess you might say I have merely scratched the surface. I do however know the difference between quality material and information, and run of the mill ...

9er I have a pretty good imagination, but I'll be darned if I can imagine where you are coming from or where you are going with that one! Truth be known, it was Ely's integrity that kept him from telling what he knew. Ely's book in my opinion, is by far the most entertaining book ever written on the...

You are welcome Steve, I have a lot of that sort of stuff that I will be posting on this site as the subjects come up. Yard Sales and Flea Markets have been good to me in that way.

Wiz,

I'd like to Wiz but I am waiting fopr Joe's response. I'm not real sure I am correct in what I believe might be true. It's all still coming together for me.

Here is my own opinion: The horse and priest maps are a hoax. They are likely the work of Chuck Aylor, or a good friend of his. If that is true, it makes the trail maps very suspect. Joe Joe Might this good friend of Aylor's be the same individual that claimed to be a long term partner with Brownie...

I have an article from the March 26, 1947 Vol 34 Number 7 issue of Pathfinder News Magazine that fits very well with everything Steve wrote above.

Maybe someone can find out where the U.S. Treasury kept their funds for purchasing gold in 1887?

Upon closer inspection of the Draft/Warrant, I come to a totally different conclusion than Helen Corbin did about the purpose of the Draft. It appears to me that Jacob Waltz was being paid $7,000.00 ( Drawn on the Nat'l Bank of Lawrence ) for 50 lbs of gold ore. There is nothing said about transferi...

Great responess and I appreciate them all. My reasoning and logic determined (in my mind) that missing 20th century history pertaining to the document is being concealed because it does not support the authenticity of the document. Your responses provide reassurance that there is a certain amount of...

TGH You are probably right, I walk into traps all the time. I guess if I hang around long enough I will learn. Looking at it from my point of view, using only what I have read in this form I have tried to use reason and logic to form my own opinions. You seem to have some background info about the D...

Novice, As much as it pains me to agree with Joe, I have to lean towards the idea that the document is a carefully constructed fake. I can’t imagine how anyone could obtain such a document and not carefully document all the details surrounding the discovery. Although the document is very interesting...

Joe, Out of respect for a personal friend, and at his request I have agreed (only after sounding my objection) to let the matter drop. I would much rather see this played out to the "King Check" but I have been told that it will not be allowed to happen. If I could do it alone, I would not...

I wish you would take a trip, A long one.

You are a trip Joe,

Joe, You wrote: "Since those copies were sold to people who had not seen the contents, I can't imagine how your statement has any merit. As I mentioned before, the signatures of Jim Hatt and Clay Worst on the numbered copies was the only thing that convinced me to place a bid." Well you sh...

Joe

Wouldn't you just love to know the details about the sale of copy #2!

Sorry but I am not taking the bait.

re: the remainder of your post,

Assumptions, and opinions do not warrant a response.

Not taking the bait there either.

R. Edison

Thanks for your response Bandit. In all fairness I have not really completed "THAT MUCH" reading on the subject. I guess you might say I have merely scratched the surface. I do however know the difference between quality material and information, and run of the mill pulp and fiction when I...

Joe wrote: "While I admit there are a few books out there which are really just short novels, there is nothing (that I know of) which does not contain a great deal more information than Jim Hatt's pamphlet." I guess that would depend on what you call "information". R. Edison

Borrego 13, My order is in for it.

Thanx Joe

Well, I was reading thru a thread about Jenkins' Lost Lode and was responding to it and I titled my post as Jenkins' Lost Lode but fot those of you who are still confused, The title I was refering to was Jenkins' Lost Lode.

The 21st Century is off to a BANG! It began on the heels of the President of the United States being investigated for previous actions in his personal life and professional career. This century appears to be the Age of Enlightenment and Disclosure. All things indicate that this is holding true for l...
