The Mystery Of The Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine In Southwest America | Myth Hunters

The Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine (also known by similar names) is, according to legend, a rich gold mine hidden in the southwestern United States. The location is generally believed to be in the Superstition Mountains, near Apache Junction, east of Phoenix, Arizona. There have been many stories about how to find the mine, and each year people search for the mine. Some have died on the search. This documentary explores one treasure hunter's quest for the gold. Dick Holmes, born in the heart of Arizona's Gold Rush era, embodies the spirit of the Wild West. From his youth fighting Apache warriors to his relentless pursuit of the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine, Holmes epitomizes grit and determination in the face of danger, greed, and the allure of hidden treasure.

    The Dutchman was actually the former mining engineer for for the Vulture Mine near Wickenburg, Arizona. Local lore has it that the Dutchman embezzled gold from the Vulture Mine, took it with him Traveled to Apache Junction . Stored the gold in a cabin, went into the superstition mountains, pretending to search for gold.. Came back from the superstition mountains, took a gold from his cabin, went to a local assayer declared he found the gold in the superstition mountains, and then came up with the fictional story of finding gold in the superstition mountains. Therefore, there was never any gold in the superstition mountains, discovered by the Dutchman.

    Az native here, I literally grew up searching for The Lost Dutchman in the early 80’s, as we called it, my Father’s a Prospector, we spent EVERY weekend & holiday out there gold panning & metal detecting, & I do mean EVERY free day, we were out there with the maps. My Father’s a MENSA member, he really thought he could find it, we never did but we sure did find a LOT of trouble!!! I’ve been shot AT, chased, had standoffs with psychotic old prospectors that ‘lived’ on the land… it’s actually VERY dangerous & I do NOT suggest that anyone go looking now either, sht’s only gotten worse with the invention of the internet. AZ is The Wild West, it’s NOT texASS or Montana or any of that WEAK sht, it’s ARIZONA. Don’t go poking around unless you want to find out 🔥

Why search an area where there’s apparently not enough gold to attract large operations. Is gold actually present in any real quantities? How much of the legend about the mine and the miner just Arizona bull s&!t?

As an adult, I stack gold and silver but it’s not the same as holding something old that was lost and could now be found. The allure of this story is that the treasure would be in its raw form!

    Fantastic video. 👏👏👏 I love these tales. My interest started when we bought our home in 1997. The house was built in 1912 and during some repair work on the main stairs, I found a small wooden box. In it was a folded piece of what I think is parchment, so pretty old. It’s definitely a map and mostly faded but under certain light we can see the name Weiss or Weise? We had it framed and it has pride of place on the stair wall. A friend who is a historian joked it was The Dutchman’s Map and that’s what sparked my interest.

    I am 76 years old and my grandfather was one of those men who looked for the Dutchman's mine as well as some other lost mines. He was a prospector among other things. His son, my uncle who was a geologist spend time doing the same thing. I have always been interested in geology and have my own rock collection. However, I've more important things to do in life than worry about finding lost gold. Seems like the history of this mine is riddled with death and despair. Somebody else can find it. I care nothing about it, but this tale was interesting to me. Thanks so much!

    Great basic story with a lot of missing information based on all the clues that treasure hunters have gathered and shared in last century. Fear or greed divided all of them which lead them basically no where near the goldmine. But the sad stories of never finding the goldmine are so true. In fact Brownie was right he took the wrong military trail. But what those that mean? First of all, historians should know by now that the military trails primarily ran from Fort to Fort, such as Fort McDowell to Fort Apache. The Apache claimed the location of the goldmine and part of the military trail to Fort Apache was used in route to San Carlos because it was a safe trail being that Fort Apache was the closest Fort to the town. None of the trails in the superstitious climb a mountain range towards the east except the military trail to Fort Apache. Jacob Waltz explained that when climbing one had to look back at the needle because the needle points to the goldmine. The goldmine’s elevation location had been cipher on two of the Peralta cipher stones to be exactly 1847 feet above sea level which is the same ground level as Aztec Peak. In order to align yourself to the needle you had to reach the saddle peak on top of the Sierra Ancha Mountain Ridge. But you need a spyglass to make sure you’re in line. The saddle peak is the best view cause you can see the Four Peaks line up to the northwest, the needle pointing, the military trail coming from Fort McDowell, and since your above Jacob Waltz’s goldmine, as he mentioned, then by looking downward a mile away towards the East your going to see the hidden canyon that is very visible from above. At ground level you’re going to miss it unless you see it from above first then you where it is. Jacob Waltz did not sealed the goldmine. He sealed an entrance to the north canyon ledge that lead to the goldmine. As the Spaniards once said, you could not bore from above the goldmine or from below the steep ledge because it’s surrounded by hard rock. First of all you must be in the right location and second of all you cannot dig into the ground to cheat the Dutchman’s goldmine.

    Some of you do not understand how the monumental rock structure called the needle points to the lost Dutchman’s goldmine. The monumental rock structure points like a finger in your hand. It doesn’t point down, up, or straight. It points far away over the highest mountain ridge towards the east. Its size, altitude, based on location can be viewed from many miles away especially with a spyglass. The needle was chosen in the creation of a stone cipher map by a person belonging to a secret organization in the early 1800’s because there was something on the needle that actually points in the direction of the goldmine. The stone cipher map was discovered by a Peralta family member at the foothills of the superstitious mountains which meant that there was no LDM on the superstitious mountains. There was no LDM as far as the needle could see cause the mine was hidden over the highest mountain ridge. He transferred the cipher map onto a ledger. The Peralta member succeeded in finding the goldmine, but that came with a lot of trouble, sacrifice and death brought upon by the Apache. The land soon became the property of the U.S. government. The Peralta member needed an American and contracted Jacob Waltz to help in extracting gold from the secret goldmine somehow Jacob Waltz acquired the cipher map and before he died gave it to Julia Thomas before his death. This map describes what was being used as a pointer which was the left side wall as described by the shadow but you can only see the wall from far away. It is the line of sight that you align yourself to locate the mine. A symbolic structure was needed for leading and deceiving those who don’t understand ciphering?

    My specialty skill and knowledge I have acquired happens to be in deciphering old symbolic cipher treasure maps, cipher text, and cipher messaging. The cipher maps are very precise when you figure them out. I’m here to let those treasure hunters know the location of the hidden treasure because as I said I can’t read ciphers. I’m not here to help myself with the gold or to extract it. I’m here to help the treasure hunters who have not found since the time it has been mentioned. You are welcome to go find it if that’s what you’re looking for.

    Being a native of Phoenix, I grew up hearing all of the tales of the Lost Dutchman's mine. There have been so many people who have either died or mysteriously gone missing while looking for it that it is a true legend, a mystery, a ghost story, that even just camping in the Superstitions gives one an eerie feeling. The mountains do not look that big, but I've hiked them, and you can easily become hopelessly lost if you do not give the mountains their respect.

Australia has rich gold reefs that reef has already been found but it is nothing special. A lot of gold bearing reefs out that country even now go down ten twenty feet. With thousands of ounces in the first pay. Send me a phone number I will send you pictures taken recently of gold ore from my mine and others.

    I have a book on lost treasures in Colorado. When I lived there, I sometimes casually looked for several of them. I think the real treasure is in the story, the searching and the imagination of discovery. The trouble with all these lost treasures is the constantly evolving mountains. They will probably never look the same as the clues. One such story was the finding of massive gold by a hunter in a snow storm. He carefully marked the spot but never found it again. I heard he died in the state hospital without ever finding the gold again. The mountain had reworked itself over winter and nothing was the same. Have fun and good luck looking for any of them.

    @@frankedgar6694 It doesn’t make sense to compare an un mined claim to a claim that has been mined out. You would have to find the mine and mine it out before you could compare. But I think you mean why does no other mine have veins as rich. There was the Bulldog mine in the area, which was so rich that some think it actually was the Dutchman Mine. But geologists say the sample from under Waltz’s bed doesn’t match ore from Bulldog. But there are plenty of sources of valid information about the Lost Dutchman mine, other mines in the area, and the Superstitions. If you are interested you don’t have to look far. But the Lost Dutchman is such a big deal because Jacob Waltz did have a box of incredibly rich gold ore under his bed and he got it somewhere, probably nearby. If nothing else, he had more of it hidden nearby. It’s not a baseless legend.

    Good telling but a lot of details glossed over, some totally missed and some plain misleading. For starters Julia Thomas was not black but of mixed race. She may have only been 1/4 black. Existing photos of her detail as much. There was another man with Dick Holmes at the time Of Jacob Waltz's death. His name was Gideon Roberts and he owned the lot next to Jacob's. Rhinehart Petraesh, a German boy taken in by Julia Thomas is also never mentioned. He played a key role in helping Jacob getting that candle box with the gold ore in it placed under Jacob's bed. There is no doubt that he knew there was gold ore in that box and Julia would have known as well. What is not known is why Jacob had not already given the gold to Julia? It is recorded that Julia claimed Jacob did but she was never able to prove it. The thing is both Julia and Dick had different clues that Jacob had given them. If Dick had shared the gold with Julia they might have also shared their clues and history surrounding the mine would be quite different today for they might have found it working together. However, it was greed that found the mine and now it is greed that keeps it hidden!

    If the mine was ever real, the government took all the gold long ago. I think the Dutchman killed those men but lied about the mine. He could have stolen the ore from another mine and used the cover story to explain where his gold came from. He had no reason to tell Dick about his actual mine if there ever was one. He hated Dick and would have thought it was funny to lead him on a wild goose chase.
