Examples of Superstition Mountain gold

Motelo, proof ? Impossible in an internet forum. You are unrealistic in asking for it.

Ex: I posted a picture of one mule load of 8 Reales which was my share of an 8 mule train that was assaulted and we recovered, to be met with a simple "I choose to not believe you" remark. ??? .:dontknow:

Go to page 44 i this forum.

Hey Sarge., Why should we take your word that the Gold photos you are posting is actually gold , just maybe they
are fake nuggets. How can you prove they are from the Supers.,I mean proof positive, Court strong.
Walz was over 80yrs old when he passed away , I"m sure he had some Gold in a box under his bed, it would be easy
access,also more than likely he had some buried close by to where he was liveing, again easy and close access.After all by that time he wasn"t makeing any desert trips.

There is more than one member of this forum that I gifted some of that gold to. Greg had a assay done on it. 79.9% gold 20% silver. I let some of the cast and crew of the show hit one of my spots and they dug up some. It's out there if you know where to look.

Sarge,
I agree with you that there aren't coincidences, just evidence that needs put together for a conclusion.

No gold in this sample. It was found in a wash below a site that I am exploring in Peters. My question is this. The course material on the exposed face is typically of what I see just about everywhere but the orange almost flesh like material (Quartz?) looks like it face a hollow cavity. The surface consists of smooth bubble like material.

The sample looks to have been unnaturally chipped away from its source similar to breaks that I have seen in a tailings pile. Hard, sharp angles showing little sign of tumbling in a wash. Not saying that's what it is, only that it is similar. I don't understand how this sample formed? Why the bubbly smooth surface? I have not seen any other sample that comes close. Just looking for a rock hound to explain it to me.

I'm not a rockhound at all, but I've found lots of that "waxy" looking quartz in many places out there. This is what I was told it was - maybe you can find a link to describe how it's formed...

Motel,

I just saw this, and can also attest to Frank's Gold. Its the real deal. Frank is a good and honest guy. That's the important thing you need to know.

Short version of my story, though it was many years ago.
A friend whom a prospector in that area taken me and my girlfrind up there to his camp for a week.
Told us of the lost dutchman bell? Think it was bell or mine.
Alot of hugh quartz with vains of gold. Think recall him saying cost too much to retrive the gold out of them. Some kinda liquid process?
Like I said this was years ago, cant remember much now days lol.
He like dtecting old river beds for nuggets that sometimes wash down after a big rain.
Coyotes howling at nites, as I recall.
Had alot of fun during that week, can see why he keeps going up there.

The bell you're thinking of is a different story.

The Lost Dutchman (if found) would EASILY be worth the cost of getting the ore out of the mountains.

Howdy Jim,

Welcome to TreasureNet, good to have another fellow Texan chiming in. Many opinions have been presented on the LDM, and everything found in the area is thought to be tied to it. In my honest opinion, this is how the bell comes in the picture. Some believe the LDM is a pit mine with a large opening said to be 75 feet across. Apache Jack claimed that it was covered by the Apache. Others believe that the LDM has a shaft, it is said that the opening was the size of a pickle barrel. In the Dutchman's confession, he said he made the opening wider (2 1\2' x 2 1/2') to a depth of six feet to accommodate some crisscrossed logs up to four feet, and two feet of dirt when he covered it.

It seems that there are two different mines being referred to as the LDM. Since one has a small hole, someone said the the mine was like an inverted funnel, looking bell shaped with the hole above. Don't ask me where I read this, but I know I did.:laughing7:

As Gollom said, it should be well worth the effort.

The Aztecs called it: " Excrement of the Gods"

What you have there is a shard.
 

Aztec 's Poop not Apache!

If was Apache it would have been from a Navajo.
