Lost Dutchman Mine, Jacob Waltz, Superstition Mountains

PLEASE NOTE: DutchHunter has not had any updates for quite some time. 

We just don't have the man power to keep up the site at this time.  However, exciting projects are in the works, so Subscribe here and we will keep you posted. 

 

And to those folks who have subscribed and asked about the progress of the project.  It ended in May of 2005.  While no gold or silver bullion was discovered, Dr. Rice, head of ASU's archaeology department, wrote a detailed report on the HEAT team's efforts based on project Chief Archaeologist Erick Steinbach's findings.  Dr. Rice's reports states that from the archaeological evidence discovered by the HEAT Team, Arizona's Territorial history has been rewritten, and proves that there was pre-Anglo (presumably Spanish or Mexican era) mining activity north of the Gila River and in the Superstition Mountains.
 

Thanks!  The DutchHunter Team.

Welcome to DutchHunter.com, the Official Website of the Historic Exploration And Treasures (H.E.A.T.) Archaeological Excavation of

The Lost Spanish Mine

 

THE GOALS:

1)   To prove that the Spanish had mining operations north of the Gila River long before the mid 1800s.

 

2)   To recover bullion that an historic unpublished manuscript suggests the original miners secreted away in the

mine circa 1848.

 

The Lost Spanish Mine is believed to be one of the Peralta mines and one of the sources of Jacob Waltz's gold and the Legend of the Lost Dutchman Gold Mine, the most famous lost mine in the world.  Also, evidence uncovered during the expedition suggests that the mine site may also be the location of the legendary Geronimo's Ransom Cave.

 

At present, the archaeological site deep within the Superstition Mountains is guarded 24 hours a day and only authorized personnel know its exact location and are allowed on site.
