I'd bet with all the talk about millions of gold having been taken out of this mine alone, many will be encouraged to search the mountains for more.
And not just this area, even for those who believe it IS the LDM. It's obvious that those who have and continue to claim there is and was no Lost Dutchman or gold to be found were either wrong or lying. Certainly lying if they knew all along about this mine. And who knows, what might they know about other finds like this, while at the same time trying to discourage others from looking ??

Good point - and really does it matter if the Pit mine were the LDM or not, if it produced millions for them? This part never makes sense to me, for I don't care what the mine is called if it has loads of gold and/or silver for me to take out, heck we can call it the Easter bunny mine and I can laugh all the way to the bank.
Just my opinion but I don't think that whole area should have ever been included in the wilderness; the wilderness act is supposed to exclude all known mineralized lands, and there are a number of known mines and mineralized areas inside the Superstition Wilderness. Even silica is a vailuable mineral for mining, our silicon chips in our computers need it, and there are known silica veins of high purity inside the wilderness. If I were a lawyer, I think I would start putting this stuff to the test.
Good luck and good hunting amigos, I hope you find the treasures that you seek - and we can call it what ever name you like!
