Killer Mountains: The Ultimate Search for the Lost Dutchman Mine: Glen Magill's Legendary Expedition

[@johnganshow5536]

I have 2 copies of " The Killer Mountains " excellent read!!!

[@limhan3209]

Why 2

[@jerrymoore838]

I read The Killer Mountains every decade, more or less. A great fun read with old photographs and maps. Appreciate your insights and outstanding storytelling Larry. Much respect for your integrity and ethics

[@jarrodhamm8472]

They used the alias “Jim Miller” for my grandpa in that book. Him and Baker Looney have said that Glenn wasn’t much of an outdoorsman, and was hardly out there, but he was Gentry’s main source of info for the book so there you go. Been to the site many times with my father and even left his ashes there.

[@wellsjdan]

Why would they use an alias?

[@jarrodhamm8472]

He was taking leaves of absence from his job to work the mine and didn’t want his employer to find out so he asked his name not be used in the book.

[@larryhedrick254]

Jerrod If you still have a copy of Killer Mountain you will find the story of the second pit at the back of the book under “epilogue”

[@jarrodhamm8472]

@@larryhedrick254 yes sir, I have several copies, but haven’t re-read them in a time.

[@jarrodhamm8472]

The 2nd pit is very intriguing, especially if it is in the steep area that I think his map shows. Would be very difficult to get to.

What a wonderful way to finish out the evening, with an expertly told tale by Larry Hedrick. This one is classic "Mysteries of the Superstition Mountains." Such an intruiging story and storyteller. Larry, your personal history with the Superstitions and first hand knowledge and aquaintance with Tom Kollenborn and numerous other characters lends tremendous authenticity to these stories. In addition to just being fun to watch, I consider these short history lessons given by expert, local historians. Thanks again!

[@DPhippsActual]

It's always good to hear / learn about the SuperStions. Thank you.

[@jaggjagg5928]

I have that book. My Dad bought a copy when we visited Mesa and hiked the Superstition in the early 70's. I was around 10 or so and have been truly captivated by the mountains since. Will have to dig it out for a re-read. I still hope to return some day for a reunion hike to view Weavers Needle again. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@Oldnoitall]

If only we had a video of Larry, Tom Claiborne and crazy Jake in that bar after they suspected him of dynamiting the hole in Now that wood be interesting to watch !!

[@backwoodscountryboy1600]

Enjoy the old stories

[@dgiorgi1725]

Larry, I love these videos. I have been interested in the LDM for well over 59 yrs. The stories that you have are the "REAL TREASURE". Thanks for sharing.

[@glennwebster1675]

Thanks Larry....

[@stevescott8060]

Interesting video presentation, always nice to see photos of the homeland.

[@vopenacattleco]

Excellent. 🍻 Cheers 🍻

[@davidmurphy619]

I just find it interesting and a whole lot of tough ...that somebody could operate like we do at 8500 feet up in the northern Arizona ranches ... But 124° in the shade ... My hats off to anyone that tough .. wow !

[@davidlancaster8152]

Awesome Larry! Excellent tale! Multiple views for sure. Thanks for keeping it going. Your new posts are always welcome and celebrated. Really appreciate all you and the crew do. Lvya all much

[@davidcarlisle6244]

Another good one, Thanks LARRY.

[@phillipseaton7163]

Great story Larry the mystery continues

[@jbmbryant]

Thank you Larry and team! Absolutely fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable episode.

[@Linda-cd3dq]

Time to go back to Bluff Springs Mt. There is a funnel-shaped pit and a tunnel that is covered up. I think the clues point to the large crevice in the center facing Black Top Mesa. There are petroglyphs on Black Top Mesa pointing to. Bluff Springs Mt. LDM I believe is in the volcanic crevice on the side of Bluff Spings Mt. not on top.

[@germaineprien7691]

Thank you! I enjoy these stories very much !!!🙆‍♀️🙅‍♀️👍🤗

[@mlgauss60435]

Great tale, as always! I've always had a gut feeling that it has been found that only the person or persons are tight-lipped about it. Still, all in all, another great story of the Superstition Mountains!

[@deciduousdiscipline9592]

Thanks. Fascinating

[@foxmulder4269]

Sooooo interesting, Thank you

[@carlsowell8099]

Thank You Larry for another great story.

[@garyjohnson1757]

Thanks Larry for keeping this going I really love these shows

[@joeswff]

Thanks Larry, much appreciated as usual. 😊

[@annalisette5897]

This was a great live presentation. It would be fun to look for the mine. My interest in the gold would be the jewellery grade ore such as was used for the match box. That is extraordinary! I live around gold bearing areas and have had plenty of time in my life to look for gold. I married into a Spanish land grant family and there were family tales about transporting gold, I thought from Mexico to the U.S. across the California border. If the Dutchman's gold was once Spanish gold, my husband would have joked that it was once in the family!

[@arthurpeterson246]

Enjoyed the video/story thanks larry good to see you, please keep em coming.

[@believeroftheword4627]

I am currently reading this book. I am honored to have scored a copy at all. Looking forward to coming to the museum someday!

[@jarrodhamm8472]

I keep coming back to this episode Larry, for obvious reasons. I hope you are doing well.

[@cyankirkpatrick5194]

I enjoy this channel because it's not doing any drama and not seeking ratings unlike the other show that tries to lead the viewer into believing that they're going to discover a treasure live, knowing good and well it's not going to happen. So glad I discover you a simple and enjoyable channel with great content, and I'm subscribed as well.

[@larryhedrick254]

Thank you Cyan, your response is why we carry on!

[@samstewart4807]

Hi, love these stories. If the vein they found was tapped out then why keep the location a secret? and have geologists looked for places that would have the same deposits as the dutchman brought back? Has Jeff Williams been there? if not would you ask him to look at where material like the dutchman found might be located??

[@larryhedrick254]

Sam It’s not a secret, scores of people have been there. He did take a geologist there but I did not include that in the review of the book. No, I don’t know the geologist’s commits.

[@samstewart4807]

[@johnshields6852]

Can you imagine asking this guy for directions, you'd have to setup a camp.

[@stevewiggin1062]

this episode proves the point about all the dime novels that are out there. Sure going to mess all those old guys....

[@roderichroby6236]

Thank you Larry for the excellent stories! Have you talked about the Jesuit treasure supposedly hidden in the mountains?

[@larryhedrick254]

Other speakers have but not I.

[@DPhippsActual]

I am very curious to know why anyone would go thru the trouble to dynamite/ back fill a pit mine that's already "played-out". Something to make ya go...Hmmmm??

[@bocadelcieloplaya3852]

cattle could have fallen down that pit, probably cowboys.

[@SuperFuely]

Hello, I'm not 100% certain the area mentioned here has the correct geology for gold. Just saying . . .

[@davidlancaster8152]

Did they ever do dendrochronology or carbon dating on the wood planks found at the bottom? I realize it was eventually caved in, I was hoping someone had a sample before that happened. Wishful thinking. LoL. Thanks for your time.

[@tonyalba790]

Deadly mountains for sure. So many have gone missing.

[@briandm33]

If you directly ask the experts and I'm talking about guys like Ron Feldman or any of the old timers telling you anything about the LDGM they will tell you that no matter where you look in those mountains now there is not an area that has not been searched or researched. It all has been scoped out and looked at due to the Dutchman's mine being the number 1 mine looked for in the world. Soo the mine has either been found many years ago or was connected to other mines that were prospected out by other claims. Sure I want to say that there is a chance that it's still out there but you ask all the professionals and theyll say that it was found or cleaned out many years ago. Ron Feldman is the guide to all the information about the LDGM information.

[@jarrodhamm8472]

I agree. Anyone who was smart wouldn’t have advertised finding it, so it could have been found decades ago and no one would know.

[@wellsjdan]

Ron says he already found it

[@StevenHanover]

@@wellsjdan its east of miners needle

[@wellsjdan]

@@StevenHanover yea...Ron's been there

[@jarrodhamm8472]

Ron believes it was in Angel Basin

[@robertporch8320]

I wish Larry Hendrick could be president

[@calstanke6170]

Has anyone found the LD mine? Seems like we now have the technology to find it.

[@thomastrain7311]

After watching all of these videos and many more others, my opinion is that the Dutchman probably found a big cache. Others have been found too. Maybe there was a mine idk, probably a high grade ore vein exposed on the surface seems likely. So much secrecy, so much greed when it comes to this story. I love listening to Larry and Jack tell these stories.

[@jimlender7681]

That story makes sence i often wondered why he wouldnt have taken a whole lot more gold than he did also the apache wouldnt have called it sacred unless they saw something spiritual in which case the apache would’nt need to shoot the miners they wold just dissapear

[@DPhippsActual]

One more thing. This reads like chapter from the money pit at oak island. Just a thought.....nothing more.

[@Mrz-sb1hw]

You can tell the spooky mountains are protected by "other forces". Don't go or your a dead man.

[@weldenjon]

Just a story to sell a book. How could there be hand hewn logs under native undisturbed rock layers????

[@larryhedrick254]

Well, I don’t know where you live but I would give an example how that could happen. The monsoon season in Az last from June until into September. Some of the greatest torrential rain storms happen during these times and the Superstitions are no exception. It’s been well over a hundred years that this pit has been exposed to these rainstorms. That pit has been filled or nearly filled with water many times over. The settling that occurs can cause loose dirt to become as hard as a rock. Right in my own yard about three feet down is a layer of cliche that some times requires blasting to get through. Water filtering repeatedly down the pit could cause disturbed cliche to reform layers of cliche at different levels. This may not satisfy your question but I know this story of their search was true and did happen. I only scratched the surface of this story and may not have presented it exactly as it happened but it did happen.

[@LuckyBaldwin777]

Something's rotten in Denmark. If the vein was worked out, why plug the shaft and tunnel? Makes no sense.
