Robert K - first of all, let me thank you profusely for the well stated responses to some of our questions, comments and thoughts. It's VERY easy on this end of the keyboard to play "Monday morning quarterback" and also to question every little detail, and it would also be easy on your end...

Hi Wayne - I wasn't really asking any question, and I had read that part in the summary. It was just a statement that in my opinion being so specific as to give out GPS coordinates wasn't a great idea and it probably was not an easy choice for them to make. I'm still reading the story and trying to ...

Interesting story, theories and evidence, but I'm struck by something written near the very end... First we’ve noted evidence of people impacting the Superstitions. This is a grave problem as noted by the National Forest Service and we want the Wilderness Act used to preserve the area and its wealth...

I completely agree with your statement that "maybe you found gold afterall." I doubt there's a single "treasure hunter" out there who doesn't look back fondly on at least most of his or her experiences, besides, what's life without chasing a dream??!! Don't rule out the possibili...

Ashton, I'm awfully sorry to hear of your health issues.

Ed - that's absolutely fantastic!! He's clearly a very good craftsman - what a neat educational tool!! thanks for sharing that

I was asked to post this message from Thomas Glover in regards to a photo of a stone house that appears on p. 18 of "The Lost Dutchman Mine of Jacob Waltz, Part 1: The Golden Dream" Date: Wed, 25 Dec 2013 11:39:34 -0700 From: Thomas Glover (e-mail address removed by me for privacy sake) To...

Ed, that is indeed fascinating and I would be very surprised to find out that it's not a rarity. I'd say your theories are probably pretty accurate that the "ball" is either hollow, or at least formed from something that has a lower density than water. I'm guessing that is indeed water ins...

Ashton - all I can think of is "Apache Junction" since so many people around there refer to it as AJ. Other than that, I haven't a clue
