The Peralta Stones

If they had to sneak in and sneak out, who were they hinding from?

Also, how did they manage to sneak around, while hauling all that gold out of there?

The Apache trail was safe as long as you had 80 men and lots of guns. Otherwise, not.

The French were the biggest worry in the early years. The settlers scared the crap out of anyone who wasn't white and they just loved the thought of all of that gold too; The blood thirsty and those all alone in the wilderness.

Legend has it that a group of folks through the Mormons known as the Danites, happened to be the characters who over took the Peralta's teenage boys just East of Mesa and scored on their family placer digs along the water. That's where Mesa came from in the first place and the placers are on the way to the Apache trail, the burial site of the tablets and the other gold mines that the Mexican family operated in the Tontos. If there is any gold to be found in the Superstitions, it was planted there as a decoy to keep ya all diggin there all day long.

I can assure you that there is indeed gold in the Superstitions, and that I respectfully disagree on the theory that it is salted or seeded. The sheer land area where you can find the gold covers quite a large area, and would have required the efforts of many thousands of men to "salt" it over such a vast area. Salted gold is most commonly found right on top of the earth or not at any depth, for to bury it requires much effort and disturbs the ground, and virtually none is found on the surface in the Superstitions but is down in the dirt.

Which is not to say that there are many large and rich gold deposits in the Superstitions either, the record speaks against that. However that there is gold which is not salted nor planted there, is a fact. You can pan out a little gold in quite a few places in the Superstitions, including inside the Wilderness area which is probably illegal. The Palmer mine produced gold and there is even an ore shoot from Goldfield that runs inside the State Park for that matter, so I don't know where you got this impression that any gold in the Superstitions was "planted there as a decoy".

Good luck and good hunting, I hope you find the treasures that you seek.

I should have added that my reference was to the marker trail of glyphs and monuments where the legends of our authors were first forged from. Reference points salted as part of the marker chain used by the Dons; a nightmare to the unknowing modern day gringo. A good example is the presence of poisoned cache sites at each dig site. Never intended to be disturbed by the originators, but to entice and distort the futures of those who do not belong in their circle. If there is a find that excites the modern man these days, one can count on the fact that the King's men already covered the area many many years ago seeing it as a waste of time by their methods and standards. In the time before the Spanish, gold carried no threat and recovering it in one pure form or another was an exact science we have yet to understand even now. The method is of tracking it with math based on the structural analysis of one shape leading to another in a chain. Certain natural stones of different shapes, found together in the same place confirms the presence of gold in the vicinity. Color being less sure. The markers laid out on the ground by them use stones that are shaped a certain way and not from the exact area where they are found together laying on the ground, but they will lead you to gold if you read. Some of the toys they couldn't take with em' enclosed here.
