new show on the dutchman

[Kevo_DFX]

That's got to be the funniest thing I have ever heard said about a Mine Symbol before

Do you think that Waltz was employed laying sprinklers in the valley?

It is kinda of hot there in AZ

So let me get this straight. johnmark29020 joins into the conversation and offers industry knowledge of a symbol that is on a supposed treasure map and his only response is to be ridiculed?

I have never roamed the Superstitions or dove for sunken treasure. But I research the heck out of my metal detecting sites. And one thing I have found is that old knowledge remains all around us. You can see the outline of a foundation in a field of corn 100's of years after the foundation is gone. At one time, there was a stone church on "Stone Church Road". If you find a set of pine trees in an all deciduous forest along an old road, you might want to check it out.

Is it impossible that these treasure signs could have lived on in a different form? Could it be further possible that with knowledge of all the signs johnmark29020 alludes to, and access to a map that uses those symbols, you could decipher it's content more accurately?

I say yes, and frankly the fact the you're not curious is a bit off-putting. I would like to have this knowledge whether it relates to treasure or not.

johnmark29020: I think that's pretty interesting. Is there a guide that I could learn more about these symbols?

The problem is that I, and I hope others, would be interested in what he had to say. However, he very likely has left the conversation. There's too much ball-breaking and pareidolia on these threads and not enough facts.

 

[wrmickel1]

Some on here are total facts, With back up material and links to them! I prefer the other as long as it don't go too far. Such as a photo of a mission in the supers. What a Hornswoggle that was!
Then there's people like me and the sarg, who take things a little lighter. Check out the Rubber Room thread and you'll find insight into peoples character and you may feel right at home there.

[i am the horse]

Facts pfft.some dude raising chickens used to get drunk and brag about his mine.. Theres some facts for ya.

 

[sgtfda]

Then there is always the chance Waltz had a Mercury poisoned brain and lung issue.

 

[wrmickel1]

There's a old guy here, that's a millionaire, drives a very old truck and has dead calves in his basement, So I don't think its out of the question that Waltz could live his life with wealth that he chooses not to flaunt! Not everyone is vain.

Mercury from gold prospecting Sgtfda ? Some of the 49er's suffered from it from what I've read. Glad my Great,great grandfather didn't. : )

 

[UncleMatt]

If you think about the levels of alcoholism, and the availability of alcohol with all kinds of poisonous additives in it back in the day, and the poor diet many miners had, just those factors alone could explain a lot of things...

I like the show. I hope someone finds something. I'd love to be there.

 

[Kauziamos]

I heart WW!!!

 

[Kevo_DFX]

I, too, am enjoying the show. I don't much care whether you find anything or not, though I sincerely hope you do. What I like is that there are still fellas out there that are willing to do what most of us only dream of doing: Embarking on an adventure with friends, through unfriendly lands, with little hope of reward and only the slim hope that your name will be permanently linked to a legend. I think that's pretty cool, and I'm looking forward to the next show.

There is truly nothing like it on earth.
When you leave the safety of the couch.
The world changes. I wish I had done it long before now.

So far I'm liking it too. The legend, the terrain, the characters, all good stuff... The Sarge is a natural! Reminds me of when I was a kid and watching a show about the Lost Dutchman I think on Unsolved Mysteries. Now my son and I are enjoying this show, it just opens up the imagination...I really like the parts that actually give you ideas on where to look for gold. I wanna know how in the heck did the old timers know where to start digging? Does that dousing rod really work? Hopefully we get more good information. Congrats Sarge and the rest of the crew involved, now show me the mine!

In my humble opinion the " Legends of the Superstition Mountains " show is going to be around for years. It really gives people a understanding of how rough these mountains are. This show will produce a whole new generation of Dutchman hunters. All of these guys do a really good job. I would hope that some day the State of Arizona takes back all of it's land from the over reaching federal government and opens up all of it's land to the public.

I agree with you. There is so much money the state could make with tourism.
However the gov. Never gives anything back.
Plus the new breed dutch hunters will have much better equipment and access to information. That wasn't. Available in the past.

Congrats on your first and so far only post

Perhaps he is stuck in the hole or it caved in on his head.

Hooch, that was way over the line, suggest you try to remember we are a family friendly forum....

Believe it or not, but back in the day, there were some very astute geologists who knew their s**t when it came to finding gold or other precious minerals. These guys were very valuable to the mine owners, and could pretty much name their price wherever they went. If you care to do any research on the mining history of Arizona, you'll discover that pretty much every square inch of the state has been mapped (geologically speaking) in one shape form or another for mineral content. I'm not going to rain on anybody's parade here, but let's just say that some areas had more mineral production than others, and the areas with those valuable minerals were very well documented with claim histories, assay reports, and a very thorough mapping of their geological features spanning back to the mid 1800's. With that said, if somebody wants to chase a "legend", then more power to them. At least their getting out and doing something, rather than sitting at home twiddling their thumbs wishing they were out doing something. Concerning dowsing... let's just say that if you believe it works, then that's all that matters.
