Crossing the Salt/Soldiers Well

Mr. Hamrick
I believe the well you are looking for is marked Old Well and it is on
the road from Maryville to Florence. It's about where Apache Jct. is and
not very far from the Superstitions.

the Dutchman

bill Bill the one on the right does have a beard but I believe that man to be McEntee and the one with no name is next to him. I think the way it read under the picture is the one on the left is Colonel Sharpe, real name John Murphy, next to him is a man called Babcock and the man on the right is Mc...

the Dutchman

bill711 Bill I'm so glad you got off that ledge with minimal damage and didn't fall into the mine shaft and really get yourself hurt bad. The man in the picture was clean shaven and could have been about 50 years old. It's not easy to tell from the picture. He could have grown the beard later in lif...

Discrepancy

buscar The picture you posted in the archives of Colonal Sharpe appears to be the right picture that Roy was talking about but I think that Jacob Waltz was not the one on the right. John Murphy was on the left, Babcock was next to him and McEntee was on the right. I believe that Jacob Waltz is the o...

Old Photos

Those photos were fairly common in the early 1950's. I have numerous
pictures taken when I was small that have the same border.

Stone Maps

All Some of the confusion over the stone maps of late, whether or not they are real or not, could be as a result of what happened last year at the show in January. I think this is sorta what happened! Please Joe don't disect this word for word. At the show last year the real Stone Maps were on displ...

No you would fall down close to the mine and the cave is farther on.

Ledge

bill711 Bill, the ledge is under the Indian nose and if you fell or jumped off you wouldn't DIE but you could get scratched up, bruise or twist something and that could be bad out there. The ledge is the only way to get to the mine and the large cave about 200' across. This mine is about a mile from...

Ledge

Peter There could very easily have been a hole at the beginning of the ledge that has collapsed or been destroyed over the 150+ years. And Joe Yes, you don't know any of the details of...

Starbursts

Joe I was assuming what Late was talking about is the circle within circle and a bunch of lines going out from the circles like the ones on top of Black Top Mesa, on rock. As far as the trick goes it would be almost as if you came to a dead end as could go no further. You would even have to take off...

Starbursts

Late49 Just thought I'd jump in here if it's OK! The Spanish left the starbursts. The trick that's being talked about is a narrow ledge about a foot wide that has a drop off on one side and a wall on the other side. You have to turn sideways with your back to the wall and inch along to get there. Wa...

Whereabouts of Hermann

GK

Helen Corbin writes that Julia was the one that wrote the letter to Hermann
and Gotfried to ask them for help with finding the mine. At that time they
were in Colorado. If all that is true then the letter that Hatt is supposed to
been connected with never happened.

novice The reason for all the secrecy about the Tumlinsons was because of the relative in Texas that was known as Peg-Leg. I have found no first name other than Peg-Leg or no skeletons that would have been an embarrasement other than he was a TREASURE HUNTER! Perhaps if it were known that the Tumlin...

novice What makes you think that they weren't brothers? I didn't know about Robert until Dr. Glover's book. Travis Marlowe (Clarence Mitchell) wrote that Travis Tumlinson found the maps. So, he must have passed them to his older brother Robert and then on his death his wife passed them on to Clarenc...

Joe I'm not disagreeing with you! On page 99 of Don Shade's book he states that Barry Storm moved that story. I believe that Joe Deering just happened to be a soldier and that he was not part of the two soldiers story. I believe he discovered one of the Peralta mines but not the one the we refer to ...

The FIRST Set of STONE MAPS

Has anyone read or heard anything about a set of Stone Maps being discovered in a Mission in Mexico? They supposedly disappeared shortly after being discovered. It's my belief that this set of Stone Maps was the first set of Stone Maps and they were left at the Mission for safe keeping. ANYONE? Resp...

Joe I'm a little surprised at your answer! But I too believe Bark's account is pretty accurate mainly because the two soldiers thing didn't happen so why make up a story that it did happen. Barry Storm moved that story from Mt. Ord to fit his story! Don Shade was a close friend of Barry's and he got...

WHY IS IT THAT YOU THINK JIM BARK'S ACCOUNT OF JOE DEERING IS
THE CORRECT ONE? NOT MENTIONING THE TWO SOLDIERS, ETC.

There are several books out that have pictures of the signs and symbols
that are followed and show the end results. One of the best is "A Treasure
Hunters Handbook" by Chastain. He hunted treasure for years with good
results following those signs.
