We found a practice bomb fragment and targets from WW2.Several of the cactus markers are down. We noted attempts of them to obscure the signs of early ha...

A month ago there were two men riding in the back of a pick-up truck carrying guns. One appeared to be a pump shotgun .The other a rifle. They were following a fence line and looking past the fence.They had no idea we were there. They seemed to be poachers looking for game.It seems safe to poach nex...

The Bilbry shaft?

Has anyone found the 20 ft shaft that was cleared after finding the crosses on top? I have never covered a shaft or backfilled a tunnel that was drilled and blasted from solid rock.I would assume the diggings would get larger and deeper over time.I would take a look and toss out a few feet of fill j...

I have read several descriptions of the ore that was found under Waltz bed. Some stories mention $11,000 in value,1/3 metal,gold set in quartz ect.. If I were to bring back some ore that was rich in color,Can this ore be determined to be from the same lode Waltz gold came from? Any Ideas on who We c...

The Spanish cactus markers that were shown to me are all down.These were off of Peralta trail and were seen as 3 or 5 lines that circled the top of the cactus.These cacti were very old and showing signs of decay. I was shown many markers on cactus.The Spanish were treated after being cut.This change...

connect the dots

Walker, The cactus markers took many different types. There are places that were used as "training " areas for cactus maps. I have followed many runs and checked the caches that were left.My impressions are these, The markers lead to supplies:water,shelter,food,family,supplies.These marker...

The Spanish cactus markers I have seen were three rings and 5 rings that wrapped around the upper 3 feet of the uppermost central body of mature saguaro cacti. Suspect Spanish markers on cactus were daggers ,squares and slashes. These cacti can be easily transplanted,the main root system can sustain...

Joes ideas

I have thought that the ore lost at massacare area was removed and hidden in one of the caches. I think that there was so much emotion during the aftermath of the killings the Indians let their guards slack off and a unrelated person or survivor was able to follow the gold to a hidden cache.This cac...

Joe, The Indians thru generations learned the value the miners and others placed on the gold and ores.They also knew the hardships that these Men caused the Indians.The Indians took the gold to prove to the strangers/miners that it is not worth the trouble to mine.And perhaps the miners will go else...

What mine?

The gold ore that was brought out of LDM was likely not mined in the those mountains.The gold was a portion of a cache that was hidden there. The gold was hidden by Indians who aquired it by taking it from miners returning South.After years of stockpiling high grade ore the cache became to large for...

Hidden mines uncovered.

I am looking to gather information about the methods that were used to cover and hide mines in the Superstition area. I would assume several different ways to close or seal a mine.Would the Indians refill the whole tunnel? I have been shown a filled mine and am trying to determine how to excavate. D...
