The journey is more important than the destination.

Dont worry nobodie, some are to shy, and will never tell, i told you before, i got it and im not shy,
here is the question.
why that somebody from an other country would say i found it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if i would have american citizenship, i would be much quiet,
i dont care,
but i just cannot understand why nobody resolve the puzzle before,
i had a little taste of the hopitality of Apache jonction and folks arroud there,
i do not wonder why Adolph ruth was kill, this is related to the Barkely ranch, the killer is there.

There are modern day mines out there that have higher grade ore than the dutchmans, personally.

 

[nobodie]

There are people who believe that they have found the LDM or something else but want to keep it a secret. There are those who thought that they found the LDM bragged about it and it turned out not to be the case, and are to embarrassed to repeat the story of what they thought they had found. That is why it is the journey that is more important not the destination.

FRENCHY,
It is possible that you have found it, maybe it takes an outside eye to see it.

You believe the killer of Adolph Ruth is still at the Barkley Ranch?

Good luck,

Just examples of what many think the LDM would look like.

Nice rock. That's exactly what the ore looked like that our entire crew spent the whole shift high-grading on my very first day of work in 1974 at the Idarado Mine, near Red Mountain Pass, between Ouray and Silverton, CO. Even as a total rookie, I ended up with enough to fill about half a Skippy peanut butter jar. As I soon learned, back then most of the seasoned miners from Ouray and Montrose made a boodle of extra money selling high-grade gold ore to Red Chinese agents who regularly made the rounds through the Colorado mining sites. I saw quite a few full powder boxes in garages waiting to be sold. The company looked the other way because it was making boatloads of money in that mine and they needed all the miners they could get - without the high-grade, the miners would have gone elsewhere.

People ooh and ahh when they see picture rock nowadays, but as experienced people can confirm, it was never all that rare around working gold mining districts - especially during the days when so many American mines were producing. That's what underground mines were for, after all - following the paying metal veins. Those days are over now, but beginning ca 1860 in the west, there were hundreds of lode claims that produced at least some of this type of ore - most played out early, some produced for decades.

Bottom line: with a bag of high-grade and a plausible but muddied story, a "lost mine" legend can be easily created. The gullible are ... well, gullible.

That is an exceptional summary - thanks. Too bad most folks "know the truth" of things and have no time to apply a rational template to their beliefs. Humans are so incredibly easy to manipulate.

I did it! I found the Dutchman's Mine! No joke, seriously!

OK, it's not the 'Lost Dutchman Mine', but it is a mine previously registered by Jacob Waltz.

(Sorry, couldn't resist, no more today (hopefully).

 

[ibjeepn]

I found it ! With a map i got in a box of Crackerjack !

 

[nobodie]

Just loving it.

 

[Azquester]

I think I found it.

The tailings at least. Old Jacob would've have to had tailings to dispose of. Old forgotten trails have a way of popping back up during a drought and only during such. The drought we had that ended in 2011 was a long one. Of course we're all use to it beause we know it's just desert life! The area I think it's in has no photo's to speak of. So at the very least it's not usually searched or talked about. I think Joe Ribaudo would agree with me about it. He knows the area quite well. Not far from the killing fields.
