Legend of the Stone Maps

The problem with seeking "help" is that unless you are willing to pay for someone's time and expenses, you are asking people to just take your word for things at their own expense and risk. Give me $10,000 and the things you need me to check out in the field, and I will be happy to do so. And as far as being killed in the bush, I spend all my free time up above 10,000 feet hiking around in the Rockies prospecting and looking for things I am interested in. So I'm not really worried about dying in the bush. And I don't even own a couch...

Hal,

Why do you ask? There have been a whole series of posts that deserve a WOW!!!

Don't you find them impressive?

Take care,

Joe
Honestly, it's like revisiting anything that Oren Arnold would have written so, I don't find SUPERDAD's ideas so outlandish. Just familiar with a twist of lime.

If you sign up for SUPERDAD's recovery project let me know. It would be an honor to swing a pick along side you.

TH,
Something is going on with the program. This may be a type-o however, it happens to me constantly. The words seem to repeat every once and a while. A glitch?
 

A little of the subject but still Peralta. Please don't get suckered into believing that Peralta buried $200 million in Gold!! He came hundreds of miles to leave the Gold?? Really? Is that what you would do?? When he died, he was surrounded by dead mules with backpacks full of Gold! He had a commitment to the King of Spain

Hey Joe, the area about an inch below where the hoofs are . Remember, there are copies that were made, and they may not show the marks. I saw the original stones at the Superstition museum, and verified they were on the stone.

Hal,

I did not, and would not use the word "outlandish". Someone would need to carry me in, no horse, and I would not, could not, swing a pick. I might be able to lay down and use a brush for some of the fine detail work.:binkybaby:

Take care,

Joe
 

$10,000 is a lot of pocket change times 6, well it's a small fortune . Anyone who has operated a Gold mine will tell you that it is a negative cash flow until the Gold hits the smelter! I believe that one of the richest Gild deposits lie under the tons of rock! I've got Quartz that will make your head spin. An early assay of the outside rock shows .9 oz per ton. Again , that's the outside! I am willing to share percentages of ownership which could be worth millions ! But only to sincere, hard working miners. I don't babysit!

Fifth Peralta Stone?

Dear Sarge: I have written a supposition essay titled: "THE LOST DUCHMAN MINE FOUND". The four Peralta Stones currently known to exist, according to my interpretation of the stones, lead to the junction of the Peralta Trail and the Freemont Saddle. The rest of the way to the Lost Dutchman Mine was detailed by Jacob Walt in his map gave to Rheinhart Petrasch, probably a month before his death on October 25, 1891. Please see the map on page 134 of the book titled: "The BIBLE of the Lost Dutchman and Jacob Waltz"
by Helen Corbin (ISBN: 1-879356-59-7). This map is correct. Therefore, this writer has always believed there was always a fifth Peralta Stone that finished the trail to the Lost Dutchman Gold Mine. In addition, this writer believes Ruth did find the Lost Dutchman Gold Mine. The map found with him lead to Red Mountain. The map that was missing lead to the Lost Dutchman Gold Mine. This is because Ruth's body was found on the wrong side of the canyon for him to be returning from Red Mountain. Ruth's body was found on the right side of the canyon for Ruth to returning from the Lost Dutchman. Good Luck and good hunting. Sincerely, Crazy Old Man P.S. The Jesuit Priest left a marker on the trail.

Amen to that as a mine owner I have worked both hard rock and placer mines and it is money down the drain until the first gold leaves for the smelter. I quit mining because of all the government and environmental hoops you have to jump through, now I just own shares in several and let the bean counters worry about what laws we have to abide by and what endangered species we might be bothering next.
 

It is speculated that Peralta's grandson came to the area in the early 1880' s bring Jacob Waltz and Jacob Weiser with him. His name could have also been Pablo. The records show that a Peralta opened a drug store in Phoenix circa 1900

SD,

The Peralta brothers, I believe, opened their store in Phoenix around 1936-37.

Good luck,

Tina,

This may be the answer to your question about the heart:

"You would play upon me; you would seem to know my stops; you would pluck out the heart of my mystery; you would sound me from my lowest note to the top of my compass." Page 126 "Superstition Mountain: A Ride Through Time" by Tom Kollenborn.

The above quote, from Shakespeare was "Perhaps one of Chuck Aylor's favorite...." The Aylor's Caballo Camp was right on the Stone Map Trail, as I have read it.

Good luck,

Joe Ribaudo

Cactus -

Is it a riddle?
[play upon me] - Guitar or Guitar shape? Hourglass figure back in that time.
[you would seem to know my stops] could be frets (steps)
[you would pluck out the heart of my Mystery] the heart stone? Or song associated to it?
[you would sound me from my lowest note to the top of my compass] lowest note on a guitar is 'E' tuned at 440hz. Top off the compass... Well, if I'm moving east then that is the top of the compass, or it is a riddle for true north? NE?
I could be waaaaaay outside the box, but it's a guess that aligns with what is written in my opinion.

Tina,

I have never assigned such complicated theories to it. It simply could be an indication of who might have been involved in creating the Stone Maps. It may very well too far outside the box for many. My theories often drift over that line.

Good luck,

Joe Ribaudo

Joe,

My apologies for going wayyyyyy outside the box. My brain got the best of me. Perhaps it's not that innate? But yet, the 5th stone has yet to be found (or announced).....

The symbolism of the heart was a central theme to the Spaniards, they used different variations of hearts to mark their mines. For one thing, a heart is much easier to carve into rock than other symbols. It also represented love. Specifically, a love of Christ. Near the mine I have found a carved family crest with the words "LA PAZ" carved inside . This means "The Peace" and specifically the Peace of Christ.
