Al,
I know all of the hundreds of books and articles written about the Alleged Dutchman's mine, but for all the people that followed Waltz they found nothing by doing so. I have heard opinions that the Superstitions were a ruse for Waltz to explain why he had gold unquestionably. It is also said that Waltz and his girl highgraded ore from the tip top mine before they all of a sudden struck it rich in the Superstitions.
Maybe Waltz wasn't a rich miner at all, but a very clever highgrader. I wonder how many researchers have pondered this avenue of thought. If the Peralta's ever made a dime in the Superstitions, they are about the only ones that did. Some books even picture and describe Spanish signs and symbols found in the Superstitions. For the thousands of people that annually back pack into this region, few ever talk of find gold. I wonder why this is true on the site of the most publicized lost Treasure story in history?
A curious place indeed.
