Thank you Larry Hedrick for this installment. From listening to you over many episodes I do believe the mine does exist. Given the number of dutch hunters over the years, I believe it would have been found long ago if that were possible. If the mine was covered up by blasting, it may never be found. Of all the stories of the Superstitions, the Dutchman ones are some of my favorites. Thank you for your continuing excellent work.

Thanks Mr. Hedrick, I can never get enough of your stories about the Dutchman. You are correct. I wasn't aware of all the jewelry made from the Dutchman's Gold. I thought the lighter was the only piece made. Thanks for the new information 🤠👍🐎🏜️

After Charlie's passing I figured the show would follow the way of all shows where the when the founder moves on then the intensity dies. This case the men who filled the void have made the show off the charts. Thank you for the history and the information from all of yours years of work. If you want a story I have spent years wanting details and definitely is a mystery of the superstitious mountainous is what was going on when Charlie was shot at. He talked about in a episode but gave no real details and created Another mystery of the Superstitious mountainous.

I get gold fever listening to these stories of the Dutchman's Gold.

[CameronMcCreary]

Thank you Larry. I remember this was part of the Jacob Waltz recounting of when he took sick and passed on.
There is indeed gold in "them thar hills".

[KevinSmith-yhtl]

Thanks Larry.
I really needed a good story today, this helped me out alot. 👍

So interesting, what a persistent mystery. If you consider the topography and geology of the area and the infinite weather and precipitation cycles over the many decades since Waltz operated the mine, you get a good idea of how impossible it might be to locate. Consider that it may have been a very small opening to begin with and perhaps somewhat expertly hidden by Waltz after his last run out there; in the time elapsed since, Mother Nature has finished the camouflaging process and the earth has settled into such a natural condition that it may just as well have never been opened up in the first place. I'd still give it a try though. Thank you Larry for another beautifully-narrated and intriguing tale.

Good story, thanks Larry. Years ago I saw a pic of a walking stick where the handle was made from a piece of the Dutchman's gold. I don't know if the story was true or not, but it sure looked like the matchbox ore.

I lived in Apache Junction for a short time and heard a lot of stories about people looking for the mine and never returning. Maybe they got lost.

[rudysmith]

I find this story fascinating that nobody has found this mine.

[creightonleerose]

You n' youre crew, extended parties & individuals with the SMM are simply the BEST Mr. Hedrick!
LOVE hearing the folklore n' all tha tales surrounding such, no matter is some of 'em are tall-ish tales, as theres always a kernel of truth within all myths, legends & personal

[anthonyjwhitford]

hard to believe after all these years that old Jake didn't just steal his ore while he was in California

[douglasturner]

You gotta laugh. If anyone really found the Lost Dutchman they'd take sample's to show of that rich ore! 😂

[jamesrobinson]

This leads me to believe that the Dutchman may have found a hidden stash of gold that came from some other geographical location. The Spanish as well as the jesuits were known to have been in that region and perhaps they brought this gold bearing ore with them that they got from another location and hid it in the Superstition Mountains only to be later discovered by Jacob Waltz. The purity of the gold is a dead giveaway that this ore couldn’t possibly be from that geographical location.

My uncle (in law) owns the land that chase field is on. He gets paid for it. He invested in the canal system. Born in 1929, he passed recently.

[SwampyFaulkner]

Larry is it a possibility that jacob waltz found an access into a lava tube somewhere under the superstition mountains
It seems very strange that with today's technical advances it can't be located

[dorothylewis]

If someone has found the Dutchman's mine, they most likely are not telling, would you? NOT! 🤐

[Mike-]

The thing I never understood was why Waltz gave all the gold he had to Richard Holmes man he barely knew instead of Julia who spoke his native language, and he knew very well. If I had to guess Holems stole the gold made up the story to cover how he got it. What could Julia say 19th century woman against a man dealing with Government? She wasn't family there was no will. She would need a court likely an attorney.

[JohnRyan-grbs]

Might you consider doing a video on the people who in the 90s? Took rich ore from what might be "The Pit Mine" ?

[milwaukeemotor]

i want to find the dutchmans gold with one of those gold detectors
