I know this is an older thread but... has anybody read THM #6?? In it KVonM clearly stated that he thought the LDM was actually a cave. He also stated that he thought the Indians hid the gold in there from the white man because they knew it would draw more white men there. He actually bought a special camera to take pictures of the gold. Yes, he was in the cave. He saw the gold nuggets, truckloads of it according to him. Deek Gladson was another alias of KVonM or Charles Dean Miller. Its my understanding that his book The Treasure of the Valley of Secrets is about this treasure. Not for sure haven't got this one yet.

Could this be the Charlie Miller everyone is looking for?

Howdy Jim,

Yes I knew he was too young, just showing another Charlie Miller with aliases. Even our ranch neighbor was Charlie Miller.

I still have a large stack of the newspapers to read, but nothing else thus far. This is the first info about the LMD that I've seen written by him. He said he didn't put much faith in the old legends because the original stories have been so contorted and convoluted by subsequent writers and storytellers. He said the only way to study these legends is to start with the primary (contemporary news sources of the day or journals) resources and go from there. If I read anything else about the LDM, I'll be sure to post it in this topic.

I think there is a lot of truth in this statement in general and that goes tenfold about the LDM.

It has been incredibly overanylized to the point that we now have clues that never existed a hundred years ago and Waltz died before then. Often these new clues take on a life of their own.

We have several several several hundred page books on the subject and so many maps and versions of those maps that I wonder if anyone alive can really keep track of them all and what they mean.

The day Waltz died there was not a single map and the total of his clues could have been scratched out on the two sides of a bar napkin.

Steve I was visiting Gregs library. I look at the thousands of books on display. Waltz may have drawn a simple map. I made the comment that all these books came from the one map.
