It's public land & the claim was closed so it was open for claim. Interesting enough, the claim wasn't registered at the time of data entry so it was surprising to find it there. I appreciate your advice and input, thank you
Old location notices can provide valuable info. For instance, last winter while prospecting Arizona, I found an old notice in an area that I was unsure if there was placer gold in the area. I had found many nuggets on the other side of the mountain I was near and knew the same material came down the side I was now on. I had checked it before and found nothing. The notice was in a jar and exposed to the sun. When I got it out it literally fell apart in my hands. I was however able to glean a few tidbits. A name, that they were from Las Vegas, the claim was staked in 1946, and most importantly, it was staked as a placer. I thought hmm, someone had a story. Why else would they drive from Vegas and stake a placer in an off track place that was never mined for placer? BTW, the patch over the hill was my best ever and produced some biguns! 5oz being the biggest. Never mined, never detected, went there on an old treasure story.
@@WheelieShinyGold your welcome. I'm hoping to come to AZ again this winter. I've chased that place looking for the rest of the story for months! Last winter I spent 2 1/2 months and didn't find a piece! Grrr. Said I'm done with that place! But...man, I got so much invested now and have gathered some really good data, including nuggets, that I don't know if I can let it go now. I know it's there somewhere, just got to get across that first one on the big patch.
@@argonaught5666 oh no... The desert gold has you under its spell now haha. Careful out there & I hope you find what you're looking for. Keep us updated for sure.
@@WheelieShinyGold been under it for near long as you've been alive. My daddy told me a man could spend his life prospecting this country, and many of them have!
Love your videos! bloody hell the amount of time and dedication that goes into making these. PS. the motorbike is awesome. Cheers from the west coast BC.
I grew up in apache junction Arizona we lived at the foot of the mtn on the last road . I use to spend the weekend in the early 70s at the north end of the mtn. That faces west..there's a sleeper cave there and it sets just above the blue bird mining company store and restaurant. I grew up there. I never prospected the area but spent a lot of time as a teenager climbing all around that mtn..great video. I miss Arizona. I live in Virginia now..keep prospecting that area its rich with gold and artifacts.
@Wheelie Shiny Gold I agree. My mother did the artist rendering for the NBC Sunday night movie back in the mid 70s of the lost Dutchmans gold. She did the oil paintings and the pastel drawings. I've always wanted to mine there. That cave is big enough for 4 people and a camp fire. You can see it from the apache trail highway before the bluebird mining company restaurant. It's at the face of the mtn, not far up. Use binoculars to locate it from your start position. Check for scorpions and snakes. There are a black rattle snake common to that area. Plenty of area to put your gear in front of the cave. The cave only goes back about 12 feet and is about 8 to 10 feet wide. We spent many a night there with a campfire in front of the cave I slept on this huge bolder in front Of that cave. Many times. The stars at night are brilliant. And u can see all the lights of apache junction and south to queen creek and look out as west as the weather allows. Awesome place. And plenty more room to hike upwards to Crack some big rocks. Let me know if you go to this area. The superstition park is at the very end of that mtn. To the north. There are signs telling you where to park there. Watch out for the jumping cactus. 🥵, it got me once all down my left side and into my shoes. Good luck . My mother would be interested to know about your journey through there and how it all goes. Good luck dude. I did a lot of dirt bike riding through there back in those days on my Yamaha 275, and my bulltaco 400. It was a blast.
@@Eaglerow77 Thanks for all that info. If I go there, I'll probably make a video on it. I'll have to check out this movie you mentioned. Yes! The cactus are no joke. Very cool share, thank you. I appreciate stories like this.
Just found your channel and a new subscriber, Great video. Thanks for bringing us along. I really like seeing content about my home state. When I was younger I had found a few of the markers(mine claim paperwork) from the 1890s & early 1900s and I, as you did left them where I had found them, only to have encroaching urban sprawl destroy the history that was left behind.
Thank you for joining & for the compliment. That's horrible to learn what happened to what you had found. The state just keeps expanding out, up mountains and anywhere they want to build it seems.
Like I mentioned…I believe I found a stash in 200+\- year old plot near Prescott valley. It’s near an old mining claim untouched for years. I can’t get to it with my day job, but willing to show you where. Most is raw ore dug out by my own hands. I believe it to be a minor’s stash that he was keeping to himself. I could be wrong but it could be worth it.
Whoa!! That's insane. I would be stoked just to find the cans much less with stuff I them and then rocks full of gold? Crazy!! New sub Richard from MAGNET MISSION here. Keep on prospecting, heck yeah!!
You got me with this video. I am a new subscriber i seen your short videos and it got me interested and I came to your channel and found the actual video on this. Thank you and keep doing what you do bro. Good pickings.
My friend, nice video except that you are using way, way too much video editing. There's barely 10 seconds of any one shot before since geezer looking thru binocs or something. Try longer clips.
Holy smokes, I was on the edge of my seat during this video buddy, so incredible finding those papers let alone a drift mine, your Fantastic to watch Thanks for sharing 👍 😀
Epic video congrats on the find so was there some gold in the round can. How deep is the drift. I really enjoyed this and how you showed everything. I also take my gold monster 1000 on each adventure. If you ever come to utah i will take you out prospecting here.
First of all, I appreciate that offer and same goes to you if you make it here, thank you. The drift possibly goes 30-50ft but I didn't go in because no snake guards on and a rattle snake almost fell on my headthe when I crouched in front of the portal to check it out. The outcroppings surrounding are major indicators for more gold and look incredible. I'm very surprised they didn't blow out more. The gold I found was in their mine dump waste, so more gold is definitely there. The round can was closure papers. Since it didn't show up on records, I'm going to assume the records and information were never transferred because it was closed before data entry.
@@WheelieShinyGold Wow brother be safe on them rattlesnakes. Thats so cool keep that little gems location a closly guarded secret. That old paperwork is awesome. Epic brother.
That name seems kind of historical... I love learning new history. If you would like to share any information or stories, I'd love to read about it. If you'd like me to look into an area of interest regarding your story and if it's possible for me, I will. Too much history has been buried, lost and forgotten with the old timers in the desert.
I think he brought the papers with him in case he found gold and that was the most important thing that’s why he put them on the rocks those papers where is hope.
@@WheelieShinyGold Bud, I watched it 5 times all the way through, then even got my three boys to looks. No such luck. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow. ha!
Good thing you 'randomly' picked the EXACT spot, in the MIDDLE of NOWHERE and just happened to find a CAN that you literally just said would be great to find... on your FIRST day... COME ON man.. why do so many believe this rubbish?! Was I the only one to see that the paper hadn't aged? Even the creases didn't stay creased! You know where the gold is? In subscriptions and views! That's what he's searching for... and not doing too good on that either!
The official government document here was printed, but the back was hand written and this site was never technically filled. Around this area, there has been documents found from a time before printing was common (hand written)
honestly disappointed. watch a short that teases the papers. Follow that here to find out more about the papers, and we get NOTHING, not even a date. Just a "wow i cant believe its that old"...

Glad I came across your channel. Just got my first real metal detector! Can't wait to find gold!!! Good luck!
If those papers are old deeds and the land hasn't been claimed by family members you might be able to lay claim to the land with those papers.
It's public land & the claim was closed so it was open for claim. Interesting enough, the claim wasn't registered at the time of data entry so it was surprising to find it there. I appreciate your advice and input, thank you
This is why you always get title insurance
@@WheelieShinyGold if its public land would other people still be considered claim jumpers?
The round tin looks like a 'Calumet' brand baking powder tin.
That’s exactly what I thought!!!
Definitely Calumet Baking Powder. I'm old enough to remember those tins.

Cool video but definitely needs way less cuts. Like 85% less
Right on brother
Found your short with the gold prospectors notes and had to find more! Haha thanks again. Subbed.
Very cool
I believe the round can is a Calumet baking soda (or baking powder) can. The lid twists off.
I believe you are right
That was my guess at first glance. Modern label still has that tall skinny font.
Very cool that you found those cans! The metal detector is definitely a valuable tool for prospecting!
Thanks man I agree. They work great out here!

What was in the can
We need to know!!!
Is there a reason why your video jumps around so much?
Yes there's a nugget challenge for public subscribers
Great video! You know you're in a good area when you find test holes and stacked rock markers.
Thank you. I definitely agree. It wasn't suppose to be there lol
Thanks for sharing Awesome video
Hey, thank you. I appreciate the compliment.
This is some really good production
This makes me want to move to the Mojave. Settle in an old abandoned chunk of land, and just start digging

Great content!
Thank you
Oh man… you gave us nothing lol
I couldn't show the content of the papers because someone can use it to find location. Haven't explored the mine yet
The can looks like a Calument baking powder can.
I think you are correct! Thank you for your input
I think that is right.
Calumet
Why are you blurring it?
Was it blurred out just for the preservation of that mine area?
Pretty much out respect of privacy
This is way too much editing for me cool finds though
Too bad you can't share your find not every body is going to go there and the paperwork you found should be in a museum save the history
I’m secretly hoping you’ve found my ancestors gold he buried on the way to Utah. His name was Zachariah Bruhyn Decker
That name seems kind of historical... I love learning new history. If you would like to share any information or stories, I'd love to read about it. If you'd like me to look into an area of interest regarding your story and if it's possible for me, I will. Too much history has been buried, lost and forgotten with the old timers in the desert.

I do hard rock excavation in the hills of Tucson. I can imagine how much I've missed let alone found
it says if you read this you have bad breath. 😀. ya i know nock it off goodball. this is cool. nice video. have a good day
Lol! Thank you, hope you have a good day as well.
Calumet baking powder can?
Please paint that shovel bright orange ....i got tired of looking for mine too
Honestly I understand why you're being so secretive about it but I would release information on the Panthers to some kind of Museum
When you blurred out that one part and said trust no one I laughed cause I do that with fishing spots. Can’t give away your spots
Hahaha
that was a good one
Thanks man
Whst was in the can?
the round can looks like an old baking powder can.
I think you're right. Others have said that. Looked it up, I think you guys are correct.
Very interesting content. Unfortunatly unwatchable editing.
Do you have a way to private message you, I found the lost Dutchman mine, it's in a secret location don't really want to share with the public
OMG this is tuff! Binge watching. I’m literally loosing hours I’ll never get back. But it’s just so fun. Visual Prospecting. Lol
Lol you can do it! You can do it! Thanks
Hint : make sure the brightness is up
Tap the edge of the can against the rock and keep turning it so your loosen up the rust and open The can
That round can reminds me of an old Calumet baking powder can my grandmother had. It was red and had an Indians head on it.
You're right. Turns out it was
Has left a comment.
Lol! Right on
Hey you were going to take the round can to the truck and open it what gives you didn't show that.
Couldn't open it
that looks on video to be an old "Calumet' brand baking powder can, they may have had other products in similar cans, their bio says since 1889
Yeah others have said baking powder can as well. I'm gunna have to agree with you guys
Calumet baking powder was in the round can maybe
I'll agree with that
If you are on publicly owned land, i.e. a state or national park, here is no such thing as a "claim jumper".
Calumet baking powder. That’s the round can.
