The Mystery Of The Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine In Southwest America | Myth Hunters

[@lindathomas2350]

I am 76 years old and my grandfather was one of those men who looked for the Dutchman's mine as well as some other lost mines. He was a prospector among other things. His son, my uncle who was a geologist spend time doing the same thing. I have always been interested in geology and have my own rock collection. However, I've more important things to do in life than worry about finding lost gold. Seems like the history of this mine is riddled with death and despair. Somebody else can find it. I care nothing about it, but this tale was interesting to me. Thanks so much!

[@georgelmothershed5120]

The Dutchman was actually the former mining engineer for for the Vulture Mine near Wickenburg, Arizona. Local lore has it that the Dutchman embezzled gold from the Vulture Mine, took it with him Traveled to Apache Junction . Stored the gold in a cabin, went into the superstition mountains, pretending to search for gold.. Came back from the superstition mountains, took a gold from his cabin, went to a local assayer declared he found the gold in the superstition mountains, and then came up with the fictional story of finding gold in the superstition mountains. Therefore, there was never any gold in the superstition mountains, discovered by the Dutchman.

I'm a 80 year old Arizona native. This legend IS the Arizona treasure. For a hundred years it has fostered insane interest in Arizona and brought in millions of dollars to Arizona's economy. More money has been made by stores selling prospecting equipment to dreamers than has been made by the dreamers. Just like the purveyors of supplies to the miners of the Alaskan gold rush of 1898 and the Sutter's Mill of California's gold rush of 1849. Dreams are hope. Without hope we are lost.

[@blueexplorer76]

The obvious being overlooked here is that the actual legend behind Waltz was concealed as he was a watcher of the mines for Reavis (the Baron of Arizona), who's affairs land in the middle of the timeline when the publishing of the Beale Papers had taken place in 1885. With the solving of the Beale Papers you find the discovery of a mass of information about Waltz, Reavis, and their financiers Morgan, Rockefeller, and Pike, who were directing the operations behind the Peralta Land Grab. Their whole plan to use the money for clandestine interests in a financial racket in NYC take hold, forging their financial empire with backing in millions of dollars in Gold and Silver from their heist. With the crimes of monopolizing the industries of the times made using this heisted stash, they spread into London, and teamed up with the Confederates of their cabal, and conducted a number of murders in the aftermath of the Beale, after having already murdered their 30 miners in a location called Massacre Grounds. facebook.com/SolvingBealePapers

[@BradfordGuy]

Being a native of Phoenix, I grew up hearing all of the tales of the Lost Dutchman's mine. There have been so many people who have either died or mysteriously gone missing while looking for it that it is a true legend, a mystery, a ghost story, that even just camping in the Superstitions gives one an eerie feeling. The mountains do not look that big, but I've hiked them, and you can easily become hopelessly lost if you do not give the mountains their respect.

Fantastic video. 👏👏👏 I love these tales. My interest started when we bought our home in 1997. The house was built in 1912 and during some repair work on the main stairs, I found a small wooden box. In it was a folded piece of what I think is parchment, so pretty old. It’s definitely a map and mostly faded but under certain light we can see the name Weiss or Weise? We had it framed and it has pride of place on the stair wall. A friend who is a historian joked it was The Dutchman’s Map and that’s what sparked my interest.

I have a book on lost treasures in Colorado. When I lived there, I sometimes casually looked for several of them. I think the real treasure is in the story, the searching and the imagination of discovery. The trouble with all these lost treasures is the constantly evolving mountains. They will probably never look the same as the clues. One such story was the finding of massive gold by a hunter in a snow storm. He carefully marked the spot but never found it again. I heard he died in the state hospital without ever finding the gold again. The mountain had reworked itself over winter and nothing was the same. Have fun and good luck looking for any of them.

My Father’s a MENSA member, he really thought he could find it, we never did but we sure did find a LOT of trouble!!! I’ve been shot AT, chased, had standoffs with psychotic old prospectors that ‘lived’ on the land… it’s actually VERY dangerous & I do NOT suggest that anyone go looking now either, sht’s only gotten worse with the invention of the internet.

How much of the legend about the mine and the miner just Arizona bull s&!t?

[@ramirovaldez3061]

Great basic story with a lot of missing information based on all the clues that treasure hunters have gathered and shared in last century. Fear or greed divided all of them which lead them basically no where near the goldmine. But the sad stories of never finding the goldmine are so true. In fact Brownie was right he took the wrong military trail. But what those that mean? First of all, historians should know by now that the military trails primarily ran from Fort to Fort, such as Fort McDowell to Fort Apache. The Apache claimed the location of the goldmine and part of the military trail to Fort Apache was used in route to San Carlos because it was a safe trail being that Fort Apache was the closest Fort to the town. None of the trails in the superstitious climb a mountain range towards the east except the military trail to Fort Apache. Jacob Waltz explained that when climbing one had to look back at the needle because the needle points to the goldmine. The goldmine’s elevation location had been cipher on two of the Peralta cipher stones to be exactly 1847 feet above sea level which is the same ground level as Aztec Peak. In order to align yourself to the needle you had to reach the saddle peak on top of the Sierra Ancha Mountain Ridge. But you need a spyglass to make sure you’re in line. The saddle peak is the best view cause you can see the Four Peaks line up to the northwest, the needle pointing, the military trail coming from Fort McDowell, and since your above Jacob Waltz’s goldmine, as he mentioned, then by looking downward a mile away towards the East your going to see the hidden canyon that is very visible from above. At ground level you’re going to miss it unless you see it from above first then you where it is. Jacob Waltz did not sealed the goldmine. He sealed an entrance to the north canyon ledge that lead to the goldmine. As the Spaniards once said, you could not bore from above the goldmine or from below the steep ledge because it’s surrounded by hard rock. First of all you must be in the right location and second of all you cannot dig into the ground to cheat the Dutchman’s goldmine.

[@ramirovaldez3061]

Some of you do not understand how the monumental rock structure called the needle points to the lost Dutchman’s goldmine. The monumental rock structure points like a finger in your hand. It doesn’t point down, up, or straight. It points far away over the highest mountain ridge towards the east. Its size, altitude, based on location can be viewed from many miles away especially with a spyglass. The needle was chosen in the creation of a stone cipher map by a person belonging to a secret organization in the early 1800’s because there was something on the needle that actually points in the direction of the goldmine. The stone cipher map was discovered by a Peralta family member at the foothills of the superstitious mountains which meant that there was no LDM on the superstitious mountains. There was no LDM as far as the needle could see cause the mine was hidden over the highest mountain ridge. He transferred the cipher map onto a ledger. The Peralta member succeeded in finding the goldmine, but that came with a lot of trouble, sacrifice and death brought upon by the Apache. The land soon became the property of the U.S. government. The Peralta member needed an American and contracted Jacob Waltz to help in extracting gold from the secret goldmine somehow Jacob Waltz acquired the cipher map and before he died gave it to Julia Thomas before his death. This map describes what was being used as a pointer which was the left side wall as described by the shadow but you can only see the wall from far away. It is the line of sight that you align yourself to locate the mine. A symbolic structure was needed for leading and deceiving those who don’t understand ciphering?

[@caseycurtis7497]

So if you know all of this, why haven't you found it?

[@ramirovaldez3061]

My specialty skill and knowledge I have acquired happens to be in deciphering old symbolic cipher treasure maps, cipher text, and cipher messaging. The cipher maps are very precise when you figure them out. I’m here to let those treasure hunters know the location of the hidden treasure because as I said I can’t read ciphers. I’m not here to help myself with the gold or to extract it. I’m here to help the treasure hunters who have not found since the time it has been mentioned. You are welcome to go find it if that’s what you’re looking for.

But there are plenty of sources of valid information about the Lost Dutchman mine, other mines in the area, and the Superstitions. If you are interested you don’t have to look far.

[@ramirovaldez3061]

Yes, I’ve been on many treasure hunts. I’ve researched many by as much information as I can manage to collect. But the mystery of the Dutchman’s goldmine started a long time ago, during the Spaniards conquest. The priesthood that was in charge of converting the natives wore the black robe. Their organization was founded by descendants of members belonging to an old organization called the Templars. They were the leaders in the art of ciphering secret treasure maps. Most ciphers found in stone or maps are the creations of this organization. What most fail to understanding, is the recorded fact that the Spaniard found the goldmine. The priest who accompanied the Spaniard managed to keep the information a secret which was passed down. The priest, unlike the soldiers, were well liked by the natives and trusted their interpretations to include that they were the only ones to be spared aloud live among the natives. Eventually, the priest cipher the information onto a map, which was kept secret until now cause it’s being used as a book cover. But that is not all, cause years later another a priest helped a secret organization from the northeast find the goldmine. He helped cipher the location of the goldmine on to several stones called the Peralta stones. The Peralta’s found the first cipher stone containing the ciphered information that helped them locate the goldmine. A Peralta family member showed Jacob Waltz how to read the cipher map and also lead him to the goldmine. This cipher map was then passed on to Julia Thomas. It is interesting to note that nobody focuses on the truth that everything that we know was based on secret ciphering information and Jacob Waltz added his own contribution of cipher messaging which he passed on to his friends that could not understand what he was taking about. Jacob Waltz had to use the cipher method of messaging to keep it a secret among his friends who did not manage to understand, which most of you don’t understand? All the ciphers lead to one location which is the eastern summit of the Sierra Ancha mountain peak near Aztec peak. If you can muster the whole story like it should be, then the readers could appreciate what is not being said?

Just seems like a wild goose chase. Gold is very limited. Your chances of finding gold is very very rare. The Apaches will know where it is but they won't tell you. If it exists.

[@SeaWeed2]

11:10 it was at that point,,,,you realise the story was revised sometime in the past 5 years. That was it for me.

[@JC-cm9bn]

The gold was hidden in the Chiricahua mountains by Apache Indians and will likely never be found

[@Eddy-cz6fp]

I found it , spent it on creating a story about a lost mine that will have people searching for centuries

[@melissasmess2773]

Cool story bro! 😂

[@ramirovaldez3061]

A lost Spaniard ciphered treasure map was recovered in Arizona during an investigation on an Indian reservation many years ago and the map recently surfaced as a book cover cause the owner of the map had no clue other than it being somehow connected to the lost Dutchman’s goldmine. The book is called The Lost Dutchman by James Gillcrist. It contains a fiction story, but the cipher map on the cover is very real. The map drawing contains a compass which describes the Sierra Mountain Range saddle peak located east of the Salt River valley. The actual trail on the map leads into the eastern summit in the direction of Aztec peak. The hidden canyon can only be spotted from the high point like the saddle peak. At ground level you might miss it. The map carries a ciphered symbol that describes the location of the hidden canyon, which hides the goldmine, to be around the corner to the right not far from the end of the trail. At this point you let the satellite view show you what the map is talking about. The map is talking about a one square mile area where there is a natural ground feature that looks like a horse’s neck with head which contains a hidden canyon. The horse’s head and neck was a symbolic symbol used on Julia Thomas cipher map.

Sound like Lasseter reef in australia. A big find but no one knowns were it is now.

[@DavidC_AZ]

Why didn't Tom Kollenborn get credit in this video? Everyone else got their name and a title flashed on the screen when they were interviewed. Mr. Kollenborn was a remarkable and honorable man.

[@Davefinney370]

Sounds like the “Dutchman” may have moved there with the gold and used his excursions to the “mine” to launder it.

[@jasonwillis4819]

More mentions of Dick than any other documentary.

[@ccc822007]

Suprised they haven't tried to find it using LIDAR.

[@chrismcnatt1602]

I doubt Waltz ever killed anyone? Arizona had such a small population at the Time. It would have definitely been noticeable. I think he was a Claim jumper possibly. I always thought it was suspicious Waltz never filled a Mineral Claim like he did in the Bradshaw Mountains? It just doesn't make any sense otherwise.

[@wickedwidget3812]

The area out there looks so beautiful. Damn the mine idc about that lol I would never find it I am not that lucky lmao but I would definitely go for the beautiful scenery.

[@karljensen893]

There are some extremely rich gold occurrences .. Thames NZ and saddle reefs in Victoria Australia ... these are not huge bulk tonnage mines ... just little jewel boxes that do not present an exploration target but if found ❤😂😊 and 😮

[@DutchKC9UOD]

I found gold in northern Wisconsin near Iron mountain, opps I mean copper harbor Michigan? Well actually both! We still mine the shore of Lake Superior while camping on the lake!

[@britt7138]

it's so many names and info left out of this story...dick holmes wasn't the only person in the room when the dutchman died it didn't even mention the Patresch brothers

[@dazzlingfreeman8903]

What ever happen to the lady who took care of Jacob Waltz "The Dutch Man" when he got sick.

[@loadedfun4764]

Shoose got a nice shape up for the cameras 🎥 😬

[@vincentdavidson755]

I can understand going in the winter time i spent alot of time in mountains and meny times i sad down only to look short time later at a rattlesnake comeing towards my feet close call but they are a food source

[@breeanaoldham2634]

My uncle must have spent half his life up there and other places. Gold panning and looking for gold. He found some too.

[@jacquelinevanderkooij4301]

Jacob Waltz sound more like a Deutsch-man (Germany) 😂😂😂

[@billiebleach7889]

Dat dacht ik ook. Een Duitser is geen Dutchman.

[@pitsmcgoo]

4800 dollars worth of gold weighed 240 pounds not including the weight of the quartz. It would have took several trips to steal that much gold.

[@dwp138]

John Wayne found it and had a legal claim that is public record. Him and Charles Kenworthy

[@jamesrjohanniii774]

If you think that was the real actual duthmans mine and not a publicity stunt. Ya got another thing coming

[@weldenjon]

Good telling but a lot of details glossed over, some totally missed and some plain misleading. For starters Julia Thomas was not black but of mixed race. She may have only been 1/4 black. Existing photos of her detail as much. There was another man with Dick Holmes at the time Of Jacob Waltz's death. His name was Gideon Roberts and he owned the lot next to Jacob's. Rhinehart Petraesh, a German boy taken in by Julia Thomas is also never mentioned. He played a key role in helping Jacob getting that candle box with the gold ore in it placed under Jacob's bed. There is no doubt that he knew there was gold ore in that box and Julia would have known as well. What is not known is why Jacob had not already given the gold to Julia? It is recorded that Julia claimed Jacob did but she was never able to prove it. The thing is both Julia and Dick had different clues that Jacob had given them. If Dick had shared the gold with Julia they might have also shared their clues and history surrounding the mine would be quite different today for they might have found it working together. However, it was greed that found the mine and now it is greed that keeps it hidden!

[@michaelf.2449]

FYI if you put chocolate in milk what is it?

[@rogerdavies6226]

there is a dam in the area, forget the name,,, there is a road junction just under that dam. I think Dutchman is a place where gold works its way to the surface. I would make a 100 yard circle around that road junction. source is reliable but now dead (of course) be a good picnic maybe
