The Wild West Legend Of The Lost Dutchman's Goldmine

The Wild West Legend Of The Lost Dutchman's Goldmine

The tale of the lost Dutchman’s gold is one of the most famous tales from the Wild West. A German immigrant found a huge cache of gold in a mine that only he had ever stumbled upon before. He took the secret to his grave, leaving centuries of would-be treasure hunters to search the desert wilderness of Arizona for it.

    Ahhhh bullshit hunters.

    Wouldn’t it be more accurate to say it’s the "Dutchman’s Lost Mine" instead of the "Lost Dutchman’s Mine"? Because, the Dutchman wasn’t lost, the mine was

    Cool episode

    Very interesting

    I remember growing up in Phoenix in the early to mid 80s and hearing about the lost Dutchman’s Mine before moving to Utah. I had completely forgot about it until now, thank you for unlocking and then explaining that memory.

    I believe either floods or seismic activity had obscured the entrance to this mine. Just my opinion

  7. @chesterwalsh9431 on November 19, 2024 at 9:06 pm

    The government won’t let him have it so why find it

  8. @Rkolb2798 on November 19, 2024 at 9:08 pm

    So many commercials !

    Really like the into 😊

    The Dutchmans Mine Has already been found you morons.

    What an amazing story! I hope Clay finds his gold πŸ˜ŠπŸ’°πŸ’°πŸ’°

    I mean, did the goonies goonie?

    If I could laugh at this shyte… I would… but… I’ll let you do that.πŸ˜…

    Who is the bigger piece of shit Dick or Walt

  15. @amye9435 on November 19, 2024 at 9:22 pm

    I’m from Phoenix, born and raised 100 yards from the Dutchmans grave … I’ve never heard half of this … I know half of it is made up

    Fascinating legend! It’s a legend none the less. You would think that such "rich" gold mines would have been found already with our technology. Even, if it wasn’t the actual Dutchman mine, surely there should be more gold deposits in the surrounding area…

  17. @YouandLife5.0 on November 19, 2024 at 9:23 pm

    01:00 Isn’t it wild how a single tale of hidden gold can drive men to murder and a lifetime of obsession? The Dutchman’s secret didn’t just die with him – it sparked a frenzy that lives on to this day! Just how much will people risk to find that mine?

    I am not a Treasure Hunter. Instead I Am A Treasure Finder Of Two Treasures. You too can become a Treasure Finder by learning how to apply physics in dowsing with the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod. In the 1970’s my father and I reverse engineered the physics involved in dowsing (the same physics that energizes the alam on electronic metal detectors), and we invented the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod for using dowsing physics in locating our old core-drill on the exact center of gold and silver veins, that are buried under 200 feet of glacier rock and till, which worked out perfectly for us. I wrote the book that is teaching the world how to apply physics in dowsing. My book: The Art of Dowsing – Separating Science from Superstition ($14.95), by Michael Fercik, explains all the physics involved in dowsing and teaches how to build the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod, which is the only dowsing rod that accurately gauges the element being dowsed, by pitting the energy of gravity against the energizing of the pure one-tenth ounce dowsing rod load that is tapped onto the ELEVATED acetylene welding rod, which free spins on ball bearings. This precisely gauges the dowsing of all edges, exact center, depth buried with angle of deposition, and most important is grading or deciphering the amount of the dowsed element that is contained in the elemental mass that is being dowsed. Anybody can become a professional dowser by practicing my book’s dowsing lessons of buried pipelines and electrical cables, tunnels and voids, precious and base metal placer and lode deposits, dowsing for treasure, dowsing for any element, amplified long distance dowsing from a moving vehicle, and dowsing on water from a boat. I hope dowsing enriches your life intellectually and financially.

    Dick sounds like a stalker to me. Just from the facts presented.

  20. @Miguel-x2l on November 19, 2024 at 9:30 pm

    Sorry amigo but its not even a cave, its a tunnel we found it we got the gold 18 gold German coins Charles the 4 from the year 1800
    Its on a indian reservation try coming in at your own risk

    There is a large land mass that is shaped like a heart. If you can find it on Google Earth, you can see where there is a bunch of rock dug out from it that is a different colored granite like there was once a lot of material dug out. This mass matches the heart shape on the peralta maps. Try and find it😊😊😊

    nice…

  23. @frankb821 on November 19, 2024 at 9:32 pm

    After watching this astounding doc, I decided I’m going to leave my family and spend the rest of my life looking for the gold. After I stop at the nearest McDonalds, of course.

  24. @Mindswamp on November 19, 2024 at 9:39 pm

    This is not new. It is just a repost of a video that has been around for ages.
