mick...john wilburn was convinced the bulldog was the ldm...and quite a few people agree with him....as far as the wasp goes..it was rich but nothing like the ldm...i have specimens from the wasp....some guys leased it back in the 80's and pulled alot of gold out ...the rumor is about 3/4 million .. ...matter of fact it was wilburn that found the rich vein they worked on the wasp claim

Thanks for the info, I don’t feel that it was, too distinct of a peak to miss stake. Julia stayed right at the face of Superstition Mountain, look to your west and there it is. They went east from there!

I was offered a show years ago (I signed a contract)- fell thru when they told me that if I could not provide a "wow"
factor every week - they would = meaning they would throw a big diamond (or CZ) for me to find
or other treasure
also was told that I had no say - keep your mouth shut unless you are asked by director or producer
they are running the show - none of them even knew anything about detecting
I bowed out

I shouldnt have a problem with the wow factor. I found more caves than all the other dutchman stories combined. You are probably going to see some archaelogy also. Some of the entrances have been clayed off. The site is huge, and just walking up on the boulder that was hoisted up will make you tremble with excitment. In fact i got carried away and fell off the side two trails down right after that moment. Its hard not to keep your composer when you see it for the first time. Plus its the worlds richest goldmine, untouched by machinery.

Also for those of you who have remained respectful towards me from the begining, i do plan to do something special for you all. Not exactly sure what yet, but i am contiplating a few ideas. Even for the ones who just remained silent, I could always see you on my thread. Just know being respectful towards me was really appreciated, and will not go un-rewarded.

if they had actually found the ldm (or anything for that matter) they would have kept their mouths shut...anyone that gets on a public forum bragging about locating a treasure is only doing so to promote a tv show or book....

I caught arcana on their blog admitting they didnt find it, to a reply to a comment from one of their fans. Although they did say theirs might not be the dutchmans, it was still a historical find.

And of course the director/producer are in charge. Its basically their job description to make sure all aspects of filming go smoothly. When it comes to production, they are the professionals.

No, you take the producer and director and kick them in The berries.
Then trash a motel. Stand on a couch on late nite talk show and jump up and down and yell you love Katie.

Damm you can have Tom Cruze play your part.

Good luck, stay safe and party on

Just the same old sensationalist claims as 9 months ago, absolutely nothing has changed. Soon, the renewed endorphin rush of arguing will wear off and this thread will go dark again...

Keep in mind, the claimant hasn't been to the "mine" in years and their own testimony was that they never even entered the mine, took no ore samples, and this is LITERALLY the only boots on the ground piece of evidence presented:
