When I first spoke on this forum I had already heard of Jim. He was like a "legend" to me in the sense he had put so much time into looking for the LDM. I am grateful for his open comments and will really miss his ability to listen to new ideas. His best comment to me was "Definitely ...

Hello everyone, I wanted to mention that the Travel Channel just aired Ritches Etched In Stone on the episode "Eastland Disaster and Smuttynose Murders". It discusses the Peralta Stones and a possible connection with the Lost Dutchman Mine. It is only 2:49 long but very interesting. Some o...

I see only one purpose for the Roman numerals and that is to construct a topographic map based around their various locations. I believe you are supposed to "draw" the invisible contour lines yourself in order to "see" the various slope/elevations. Here is what I mean. http://www...
