Lost Dutchman Goldmine

Thank you Thomas for the great tribute to Joe. I miss him terribly already.

Are you sure the Deadwood days ended way back then?

Only one major gold mine still operating, but SD was the leading gold producing state for many years until the Homestake mine shut down.

Thanks for sharing the photos, and what a pretty rattler! Western Diamondback right? Anyway AMEN to not texting while walking - anywhere!

Stolen from FB - the next time the checkout clerk in any store asks you "Did you find everything?" Reply - "Why, are you hiding something?"

Not to derail this topic, just an observation. The Jesuits 'endeavors' in China went somewhat off the rails, gaining numerous 'converts' though it was highly questionable whether it was anything resembling Christianity. The Jesuits adapted the Catholic rituals to suit the local Chinese people, resul...

Holyground you don't know me, nor anything about what successes or disappointments I have had. Enjoy the mixture of fact and fiction, seems you prefer it that way.

Sorry for your loss Thomas. Thank you for sharing the story.

Tom Kollenborn passed away September 27. Tom was a living legend and we are all the poorer for his passing, for no one knew the history of the Superstitions and the southwest like Tom Kollenborn. I was lucky enough to meet Tom and became friends, we are going to miss him terribly.

I can't remember the first time I posted here, but I haven't seen anything come back, well one, but it was formal with no response required. So, are the people that post here, or used to post here, all passed on? Were they those old guys I used to see sitting under the awnings of their fifth wheels...

Hi Joe; The Marine reference was due to my being told that, back when we first started chatting online. It was from a friend whom has passed away, but he had only said that he believed you were a Marine, and I had never questioned it. Your being a Vietnam veteran actually helped support that idea of...

Klondike, you have NO idea what research I have done on the Tucson "artifacts". No more than what flavor ice cream I favor. It is you whom are in for a rude awakening amigo, for you seem to be ignoring the many indictments and even guilty pleas now starting to flow. Also, I want to point o...

Klondike wrote Imagine Roy will not be back. Well you are partly right. Joe and I have disagreed on poly-ticks before, but mainly because I am an ex-Republican. It is hardly the basis of our friendship, and we don't like the same flavor ice cream best either. No disagreement over poly-ticks, no matt...

Jim - all thanks are really due to Garry for his excellent and tireless research, and generosity for sharing it without charging us for the privilege.

Garry THANK YOU for your efforts!

Joe Ribaudo wrote You sound very much like the Democrats trying to explain why their memo should be released as it was written. Joe I am beyond shocked at your post. Of all the people, you as a veteran of the Vietnam war, and lived through the cold war, a well read man, to say that. Your statement i...

Gentlemen: Perhaps it will not do any danger to share with you a bit more. The history of Atlantis is incomplete at best. Even you can grant that as a point of discussion. More is not known about its location than is known. To understand why South Africa is the home of the ancients it is simple eno...

Roy, I came to the conclusion some time ago that replying to Ben was to be done for the exact same reason that he posts.......boredom. Kinda like playing Pong, just something to pass the time. Hope all is well with you, Beth and the various and sundry pups. Take care, Joe Have to agree on your stat...

Atlantis in South Africa

Greetings Klondike; How about posting a few paragraphs from your extended version of Critias? And maybe a few paragraphs from Hermocrates? Maybe throw in a couple of photos of those gold/copper plates just for good measure. South Africa as Atlantis, well this is not the first time I have seen this p...

Roy, Instead of cursing the darkness you should try lighting a candle. It is not about what you have not been given it is about what you have been given. As I have stated again, and again the clues are out there you simply have to see them and you have to ask questions about what can be answered no...

Jim send me your EM address, think I can help now thanks to the assistance of a friend.

Hi Roy, I know he had a map, but was it a "Ruth" map? Here's what I'm thinking: If Keenan and Purnell had any involvement in Ruth's death, how was it that Tex and Adams found Ruth's notes and at least one map on his body a few months later? Wouldn't Keenan/Purnell have taken those items w...

Klondike wrote Hello Roy, Perhaps it bears repeating, we will show the way but we will not solve the riddle for you. There is ample evidence to support the position that we have advanced for many, many years. It is not that these dialogues are not interesting but to continue you must demonstrate an ...

Klondike wrote Hello Roy, Mr. Odohul could not have made the artifacts because well we know who did make them. As has been pointed out in other posts the artifacts were made by 2 scribes, each with a different level of expertise. An analysis of the artifacts reflect this. Also the physical evidence ...

Hi Jim - I believe that Purnell had a map, in fact it is pretty much a certainty that he had a map as this became an object of contention when he enlisted a new partner, and the partner ran off with his map during a court hearing with Purnell in hot pursuit! Ruth had several maps apparently, which h...

Greetings Klondyke; I presume that you are concluding Mr Odohui couldn't have made the Tucson 'artifacts' because he could not get the old car battery lead used to make them? I can assure you that it is a certainty that he could obtain that type of lead. You have indeed stated that a large colony wa...
