How to find the Lost Dutchman mine...

[Springfield]

... Springfield, that particular mine lies in the flat land, 400 meters from a state maintained all weather asphalt road and hi tension power lines. 35 miles to a rr shipping center, 50 miles to Obregon, Sonora, a major city with full facilities, & 5 miles from a labor center, in other words, a little dream mine.....

No offence intended, RdTTT, but why aren't you exploiting it now?

HI Springfield: You posted -->why aren't you exploiting it now?
**************
As you well know it takes permits, permits, permits and permits as well as the financing.
It is progressing one step at a time. also I am extending the titled property to include an additional
150 Hectares on the extension of the basic vein structure.

At the moment there is just a hole in the ground, no equipment etc. but plenty of ore blocked out
with large proven reserves. Accompanying plan is a suggestion by the mining engineer for the
preliminary phase to self develop the capital.

We can hyper hi=grade to start with, or go for a State / Fed loan with the title up for the security.

It has taken back seat to Tayopa, until this year.

Suggestions?

Don Jose de La Mancha

p.s. Apol peeps for side tracking, but I appreciate Springfiled's advice.

I would attempt to lease or sell the property. I know you tried this in the past with no resolution, but IMO, this may be your best chance at making money. The big boys won't be interested in a small property, but maybe you can find a small/medium contractor who is willing to fight the good fight and pay you a percentage. Finding someone with the proper connections is the best bet. Good luck.

We'll, there it is folks......the true location of The Lost Dutchman Goldmine(s). Plenty of color and plenty far away from where Old Jacob has kept everyone looking safe all of this time. This place is where the simple Peralta Tablets show one where to go using just chicken scratch; start where the tablets were dug up and head on up to this area like they say. You just go West a little ways from the tablet dig and then hang a right up onto the old Apache Trail and your there. Your looking for a monstrous and wise old saguaro cactus who stands by the river at the north like the ghost of a priest. He stands looking over the dry burro pasture, once fed by the spring in the heart of Fresco

What?? No 'X' to mark the spot??
*chuckles*

 

[mrs.oroblanco]

Here ya go

 

[Loke]

Ahhh, thank you! That's ever so much better ...
Hmmm - that 'X' is fairly 'thick' - meaning it has some 'play' on it ...
In my humble opinion, it is another 'opinion' as to where it may be, but as Oro always says "show us the gold".

That being said - it is bang-smack where a lot of people have a lot of faith in a possible position. I do hope you can make something out of it :-)
I would just l-o-v-e someone to finally prove it has been found! (Should save some few lives if nothing else!!)

 

[mrs.oroblanco]

Geesh - I can't be TOOOOOO specific, you know!!

HIO Beth: to a point, welcome to the crowd. hehehehehh No show me the gold ?
Sorry Loke back to your OUIJI board. smickerr

Dang it!!
And here was me seriously thinking someone had finally 'let it slip'!! ;-)

 

[Oroblanco]

Loke - "Let it slip" - come now, have you not been keeping up with the persons whom have already announced the discovery of the Lost Dutchman mine? Some have posted clear GPS coordinates and Google satellite imagery that pinpoints the spot.

I can't say what the reason is that no two of these sites match each other.

Ohhh NO!! Are you telling me that 'IT' has been found allready? .. and by more than one?
*big sigh*
Well then, what's the point of lingering around here? Maybe I should scoot over to the Tayopa forum (as suggested by some impertinent soul a while back) ..
Hmmm - that's right - Tayopa has been found as well.

What about the LAD? Any takers?

nahhh - guess it will have to be Blackbeard!

Yall have a good day now - hear!

Sorry but I could not resist amigo. I am a little surprised that none of the several whom have claimed to have found the Lost Dutchman jumped in to say something. That alone kind of says something doesn't it? Maybe one or more will pipe up, if given a bit of urging?

As to Tayopa - that is very much a case of yes and no isn't it? One does seem to be found, but the others? The trouble there is that several different locations were tagged with that name, which has led to confusion (including my own) and as a result only one can really be said to be absolutely 'pinned' so to speak.

Funny thing about Blackbeard; strange coincidence but the NPS laid claim to a site known to have been used by him in NC. I suppose that is not to prevent a treasure hunter from locating and recovering any hidden treasures right?

The Lost Adams is a whole 'nother' kettle of fish too. I guess that since all of these fabulous lost mines and treasures have all been found and were long ago cleaned out (leaving no gold) we can just forget about them.

[Oroblanco]

Don Jose - you skipped one (at least) Vainopa? I realize there is very little documentation or even clues to get started, but as far as I know, no one has found it or even claimed to have by satellite images. Maybe it is not rich enough to attract anyone to look for it?

Loke - admit it now, you have a secret craving for fresh caught Golden Trout! Pan fried, perhaps in butter, by streamside? Or do you prefer baked, with a side of baked potato? <I sure look forward to doing some trout fishing soon!>

Roy,

Many years ago I worked with an old timer who used to tell me that he had a favorite spot in the High Sierras that he liked to hike into, through the snow, and camp. It was beside a wonderful stream that was full of Golden Trout. It was frozen over, except for where he camped. At that spot, a warm spring flowed into the stream and melted the ice.

He would set up camp and fish that same spot every year. His limit was dictated by how hungry he was. He packed in a frying pan, butter, flour and a little garlic salt. As I recall, he was close to eighty, still working and looked like he was forty. It's a story and image that has stuck with me for four decades.......Golden Trout laid out in the snow, just waiting for the frying pan to get hot.

Take care,

Joe

 

[Old Dog]

Joe,
Come out and visit me and we'll slog in to a spot where the cut-throats will be just as nice.
can't lay them out in the snow, but I agree, a nice breakfast of fresh trout is unbeatable.

 

[Loke]

Ok - I know I'm way off the subject here - but trout ...
Yup - I've got (at least) 3 surefire ways of doin'em
1) gut and spice, put them into the snow (air is still above freezing!) for 4-5 days, then eat raw with a dash of whisky
2) lotsa butter in a pan - and 'cook' them trouts in butter - oh myyyyyy
3) layer of coarse salt, layer of trout, salt, trout, salt, trout, salt. Leave in airtight container for 3 months, wash in milk and then eat it raw

I'll stick with #2 if that's ok

Actually I prefer freshly caught Canadian walleye, pan friend with potatos and onions over an open fire on a deserted island in the middle of an Ontario lake in early spring with a little snow coming down. Add a can of peaches and an ice cold beer and it's as close to perfection as I've seen .
