Iā€™ve never done a forum before, so I am new to this. I want some feedback from people with knowledge about the lost Dutchman gold mine. I will provide a picture and a little information but nothing as far as revealing the location of this mine. So from what you know about the mine let me know the possibility of what I found would be the mine. I found it from the Peralta Maps. There are actually 2 areas mines. They are mined in funnel shapes. Or hourglass. Here is a picture.

Thatā€™s actually the side of the mountain. Itā€™s like there was scaffolding or ladders going up the side at one time. Thatā€™s actually 2 miles in from where there is an old mule or wagon trail coming out of there. The terrain is too rough to get wagons back in there so the ore was either hauled out for 2 miles on back which lines up with local Indians being enslaved to work the mine. Also there are Indian artifacts and pottery. I have ore samples I have sent off to be tested. The ore appears to be mineralized gold, silver and platinum. I ran out of light and time to get samples and inspect the other lines area which had tunnels into the side of the mountain. Unfortunately my plane was leaving the next day.

If there was any chance of there being a deposit that rich the rich mining companies would have already bribed their way into closing off the entire area and they would find it and mine every gram out before leaving the public to reclaim it.

Faribo, you're trying to apply too much logic here . The fact that no one's ever found a rich deposit there yet, is ALL THE MORE PROOF of the rich deposit vein.

It's just that it's a "little more to the left". Or a.... "little more to the right". Or... a "little deeper."

At no point is it ever NOT there. If this logic can work for Oak Island, then presto: It can work for the Lost Dutchman Gold mine too. Eh ? :dontknow:

If you say you found the LDM, show me a picture of the Elephant Head sculptured out of the canyon wall beside the tunnel leading up into Jacob Waltz Canyon. You can't locate the LDM from the so called Peralta Stone Maps because you would have to be within 1500 feet of the Mine to locate the trail of the Stone Maps not vice versa.
