Lost Dutchman Goldmine

I can't say that I knew Jan well. but she definitely will be missed by the members of this group. Our prayers and sincere condolences go out to her family.

Newjerseyman Are you planning a day hike or an extended back packing expedition? You will have to consider the weight of what you are caryying and the weight of the ammo. Much better to carry enough water. A side arm on your hip is much easier carried and probably will never be used. There are a lot...

I have read several times about a legal battle between Julia and Dick Holmes over the gold left by Waltz. Are there existing court records documenting this?

Greg,
Yes that is the formation I was referring to. Thanks for the info!

Looking back through some old pictures of Aylor's Arch and was wondering about what appears to be mine tailings on the slope below the "arch". Comparing other natural arches all over Arizona and Utah that I have seen, created by wind and erosion, this hole doesn't really fit the pattern. (...

Don't have my notes with me but I think part of the discrepency is the dates when he could have been in Mexico conflicting with the dates of his known wherabouts.

Joe and all Campers,
I hope you all know what a momentous event you are going to! Wish I could join you, I can't wait for next year. Good luck to you all.

Roger,
Thank you for taking the Bull by the horns and putting this in a way that we can all get behind.

I, Jim Hurt, also pledge to follow the 10 steps as outlined in the "Code of Conduct"

Redison, Zentull, Jim, thank you for bringing some much needed words of wisdom to this site. Joe, I think if more members would express the same respect and maturity that you and these other gentlemen have today, I think Dr. Glover , LDM and others who have tired of the bickering and left would come...

Bushrat,
Thanks for the link. Great site with lots of good information. It appears that this is something we are all going to need to be prepared for. I ordered 2 this morning.

Seems like a lot of you have had or know people who have had close encounters with these bees. Like Jim I am also alergic to bee stings so it is a concern. I wonder if the Forest Service has any statistics on Killer bee attacks in the Superstitions?

Jan, I have enjoyed your posts, you bring a different perspective, and what apprears to be a solid research background to the forum. But, you need to take your own advise and get your marbles back in play. There is no way we are always going to aggree on every topic or even how it is presented. Many...

Whether Peralta maps or Waltz's sketches or maps of later hunters, if there was one mine only, the source may be common, but if there are several mines or caches, all the known maps may be accurate, for their particular area, or they may all be bogus regardless of their source.

dutch elm disease I am sure that all of the decent members of this forum are completely fed up with the childish name calling and bullying that has been prevalent on this site the last few months. I have read every post on this forum both old and new, in the past 2 years and I don’t for the life of ...

Does anyone know where this document originated, in it's current form?

Dr. Glover I also have the second printing of your book and have enjoyed it thoroughly, thank you! I was pleased to see a picture of the Transmitting Draft document, but I have some questions about the document. There has been much discussion in this forum about this kind of document, how it works, ...

Joe I think the Military Trail does play a part in the search, but deciding which trail is the problem. I am trying to plot the 3 Military trails from the 1867 map in Dr. Glover's book. Do you know where the Frog Tanks are? I could not locate this site on my topo map. I assume the name has changed o...

TGH,
Are you saying that the window of opportunity to find the mine closed after WWI because of the amount of time and natural changes in the area, or are you refering to some other event?

We know that the Passenger List of the Ship Olbers (1) that docked in New Orleans in January of 1839 does not match the Corbin list. The Captain is different also, but he is a Captain of another ship Olbers(2) that arrives in New Orleans on November 8, 1851. We also know that the Ship Olbers(1) that...

Gene,
I guess it doesn't pay to be a boy scout sometimes, sorry you are having so many health problems. I have been going through similar issues with my wife for years, it's never fun.
I will send the check out first thing in the morning, thanks so much, I was sure I was going to be too late.

Gene, I think it all goes back to one thing, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. As long as there are people who truly believe that you can get something for nothing these types of advertisements will be around, and that’s as big a soap box as I am going to get on today. I have been aw...

Jesse
Can you recommend any books or articles regarding an Aztec presence in the Superstition area? I have heard rumors of such but have been unable to find anything written about it.

Mr. Reynolds

That was an interesting, if cryptic bit of information.
I would be interested in knowing where a copy of Borrego 13 might be obtained, I have been unable to find it. Although it is not LDM related I have also some interest in California mines. Thanks for your post.

Aurum and Joe,
Thanks for the insight, it never ceases to amaze me the huge amount of historical information the participants in this forum have accumulated.
I have ordered Dr. Glover’s book and am looking forward to dissecting it.

Over the years there seem to be a lot of people claiming to have found the Lost Dutchman Mine. I suppose that the only true test would be to match the ore samples, at least the claims that have ore samples. One theory that I have heard more than once is that the Bulldog Mine is very close to the des...
