Hello;
My name is David William Muise, I have made this post to show you all what I have discovered in concernes to the Peralta stone maps.
Before I show my information, let's get an idea of what it was like back then, before and after the apches started driving the "white man" out of their sacred lands.
Known facts;
The Apaches knew of places that were abundant in gold, some of them have shown others where these places were.
The Peraltas mined this area for years till the apaches killed or drove them out.
The apaches went into the mountains and gathered all the lose gold that they could find and hid it in a secret place, then they hid the veins themselves, so that others wouldn't find them.
The Peraltas also hid their mines and all traces of them ever being there.
Stone maps were created to show the mines and vault location.
There are several stone maps. Each map shows various locations in the superstition mountains.
These maps show many mines (not all were gold mines).
The stone maps were made in a way that would be very hard to figure out without knowing what to look for.
Well over 100 years of growth have covered over much of this disturbence of earth and rock.
I have added pictures of the stones themselves and some relevant places of interest. I will add more in time so please check in often to see what may have been added
