Lost Dutchman Goldmine

Thanks for clearing that up - for some reason I was under the impression they were one in the same.

I don't know if I told you or not, but I was able to get a copy of Dr. Glover's book a few months ago. It was a reasonable price online and I snagged it while I had the opportunity.

Joe - Is the mine location you're discussing here the same as this one? I'm assuming so, but wanted to make sure I was right.

Those trash photos are almost enough to make me sick to my stomach. And we wonder why Forest Service people can be such p*%ks at times. I have to agree with Pippin - people are PIGS and can't be trusted to do the right thing unless there's a "warden" looking over their shoulders. As far as...

I saw that too, and I'm confused as well. Here is a compilation of where my confusion lies... The clue consisted in a cliff dwelling of the true ancient era, perched high up on the side of a canyon in the Superstitions, about ten miles east of Weaver Needle. Now, there is no silver in that region, s...

Joe - having not read Jack's book yet, I can't really give an opinion as I mentioned earlier. That said, how would one go about proving that this is/was the LDM? I remember when Team Fever asked at the Rendevouz last year what proof would be needed... I think the general consensus was that ultimatel...

Joe, I made the mistake of not buying Jack San Felice's book when he was at the Rendevouz last year. I didn't have the cash on me at the time - now I wish I could have picked it up. I followed the link you posted at the bottom, but I couldn't find any direct information regarding that book - I'll do...

Ok - I tried to put a few letters and words together in comparison from the handwriting examples I've seen recently. This is by no means scientific in nature, nor is it obviously as complete as I would wish as there are at least a few different person's handwriting I would love to see included. That...

Thanks Garry, I'll take a look at them this weekend and see what I can come up with to post. I agree with you wholeheartedly that whatever handwriting analysis I try to do is going to be extremely subjective. You're exactly correct that I could easily pick and choose the characters I want to compare...

Paul, Earlier today, I had a bit of free time and compared some of the letters in the the documents we have. I compared them with each other, and with some of the letters in Erwin's signature. If I knew how to place a picture in this post, still waiting for Randy, I would post the results. I croppe...

I have no knowledge of handwriting analysis, but I can certainly put together clips of a bunch of handwriting side by side and post it here for discussion. It might be an interesting little side project if anyone thinks it might have some value. I'll try to get together a compilation of what factual...

It also raises the issue of Bicknells column and the variations of it. Was Ruth adding in his own thoughts or are these taken from yet another source? The Bicknell article could have come by way of another Dutch Hunter who sent Ruth information before....Sims Ely. Can't say its a fact, but a good p...

Interesting Garry - I'll have to digest this for a day or so before I respond. You've definitely done some homework!
