    the peralta stones was a map to the northern route from California to the great lakes as to avoid the the south during the civil war.. the peralta stones is not arizona= decoy. the Amador-Peralta shipment of 200 buckboards was intercepted in 1876 was in fact a Gold delivery to finance the reconstruction under President Grant which led to Lt. Col. Custer to bring back the gold to great lake connection=Philadelphia. Remember sitting bull pulls out gold piece with 1876 date. this gold shipment was problobly re-buried on the 105' west ley line starting with the Wyoming border up by the powder river. this information was given to me by Carlos Peralta.... it was his father or his uncle produced the stones in the east bay of san francisco=the lost dutchman.

      That's because Dorothy, the map is in the terrain itself carved into the stones boulders to leave shadows casted at high noon. Begin at miners needle Dutchman trail #4. Look on Google earth the miners needle makes a shadow of cowboy hat and it points to a lone massive heart shadow, below that is a massive stone house made of boulders. All seen from Google earth for those with eyes to see.

      How I found this is by following the "trick in the place military trail." The zigzag trail past miners needle is only place in the whole desert out there that matches up and from there I found the heart, literal stone house, and whiskey springs. 😄 nice try old timers you can t hide the truth.

      That because you can't think for yourself. The stone maps are literally stones carved to cast massive shadow of cowboy hat at miners needle pointing to heart shadow east of that 2 clicks. And there's a massive stone structure looks like 2 bedroom house 1 football field south of the shadow heart seen a thigh noon on Google earth. Or you can stick your head in the sand and believe these old timers that gave up long ago.

      Joe has a really good point though. when/why would Jacob Waltz have made those things? Heavy stone slabs? sure it's "possible", but.... seems out of character and also not a skill he actually had One thing I noted from the discussions about his deathbed... is that Jacob apparently never actually drew a map at all. That deathbed map was done via dictation, not by Jacob's hand.

    The real problem with the stone maps is that they point to a spot north of the Salt River, not even in the Superstition mountains. When it comes to the so called "Lost Dutchman," well yes, the maps have nothing to do with that myth. It is a Jesuit cache site they used to protect their great wealth from the King of Spain. Dutch hunters know nothing of this. Few people know the truth.

    Around 1840 through 1860 or so paper was not real common thing out in the west and lots of people could not read or write a store might be several days away so stone map possible that such things do really exist animal skin maps were common miners were a paranoid type of people that went to a lot of trouble keeping the location of their mine or discovery secret many of them tried on their death bed to tell or draw a map that nobody seemed to be able to follow the museum in Mexico city has records from a church and a map concerning the Peralta mine those records showed 1843 up to 1857 then nothing the records showed 47 kilos of gold given in the last entry those who were the family all traveled about every two years and sometimes three bringing gold and they went back in 57 never to be heard from again that is a lot of gold at one time the thing I see is this it took two years to gather that up so the actual mine might not be all that really

    Not buying it. You obviously have no idea where to stand to decipher to Priest stone map. The other maps are less important, even if you knew how read them.
    It's twin, etched into the desert floor, approximately one mile away, was produced on a much larger scale. And, unless clearly marked, immediately, is harder to relocate and unearth. And then there are the numbers, 1847, but there is only a very short season when the numbers are even visible.
    And then you have to know how to read the terrain, know what is etched, which is natural rock, and which has been manipulated.

    Love the stories. I do get a chuckle from the maps, which in my opinion are a complete fabrication. The beauty of the the Spanish language is that in most cases if you pronounce the words correctly, you can spell the words correctly. The simple grammatical errors in the spelling on the maps, which I have never heard mentioned are a dead giveaway as to the true authenticity of the maps, the author did not speak Spanish or at least speak it well. The Vowels in the Spanish Idiom can not be mispronounced or substituted, it changes the word entirely, even an uneducated working class Mexican individual, of which there were very few thanks to the Catholic Church would make these mistakes. Now, it could be a slim possibility if they were jotting down a note with pen on paper in a hurry but these stones were not made in 15 seconds, they took time, time to think as they were carved, the author did not know the difference.

Justement la représentation de la sorcière est une représentation moderne, ça ne correspond pas à une représentation début 19 ème siècle, le deuxième élément est que Halloween n'existait pas chez les Espagnols et le troisième est que si un détenteur X de la mine voulait se souvenir de l'endroit X où elle se trouve, il aurait tracé le plan sur parchemin ou papier (c'est plus léger)
    c'est l'évidence même, restons lucides. Donc ces pierres..... sont bien du fake, de l'enfumage...., bien une "Queue de Mickey". pour les imbéciles et il y en aura un qui se lèvera tous les matins.... ça fait tourner la manivelle.

    I've uploaded on imagir screen shots of the miners needle cowboy hat shadow, heart shadow across the road from it, AND THE stone house below the heart shadow all within 1 mile radius. If anyone can get out there I will gladly tell you where it is along Dutchman trail #4. With dirt bike or good horse you make can get to the perfect heart shadow less than 20 minutes from the hiking trail parking lot. Can see the mine dumps also so locating the tunnels is easy but not for the faint of heart as the weather can become inclement at a moments notice.
