@@mrjebadia2582 I agree with that. However I would also like to see the museum and other attractions there along with talking to the locals and hearing some of these stories in person.
It's never gonna be over! It's not about a virus! You get sick, OH NO, shut the world down! Aaahhhh! You're not going to die from it! You have to be tested to even know if you have it or not! Wtf is wrong with everyone! When did it become ok to take everyone's rights away so they dont get sick?! The only deaths are from severely old people with immunity problems! Usually the FORCED isolation of these folks that kill them! Even with every SINGLE death counted as a covid death you still have a 98% chance of surviving! The only reason you are scared and believe ANYTHING you believe is because you cant turn your tv OFF! Turn it off! I guarantee you you wont see any pandemic ANYWHERE else! The fake, plastic, people, you, and the rest of the world , seem to believe without question, dont give a shit about your safety or well being! How naive can one be? When has the government really given a shit about you? Look up flu numbers! Look up tuberculosis numbers! Hell any damn one! Makes covid laughable! Everyone seems to forget WHO was charged in supreme court for falsely claiming the swine flu was a pandemic! Turns out that was just a big scam for more rich people to get richer! Its ALWAYS been about the money! What makes ignorant people think itts any different this time? ! Politicians are fake! Reporters dont actually report! Youd think people so concerned about a virus would actually know what they're! Wear your mask, stand 6 ft apart. 🤣 it's disgusting how truly ignorant and stupid people have become! Smdh
I love tuning in to such stories. People tend to think about finding the mine over finding the canyon the mine is in first. Nowadays we don’t live in a time period that needs constant trips at eye level in a massive place, we can do this from satellite surveying to see what eye level can not. Even hidden canyons. Find the correct canyon and then you can find the mine. It’s on an old government trail that has been abandoned, used by military during Indian War. After this war, nobody used this trail anymore and it’s covered in dense brush. Thus even in Waltz time he even called it the Old government trail.
We had cub scout meeting's at the Palmer's house on South Horne here in Mesa back in the 60's. Forgot all about it till I heard your story, thanks for bringing back good memories and thanks for sharing
Good job Hank! Great tale! No disrespect bro...the phrase is "finer than frog hair". I use it a lot. Just helping. I have a question that been bugging me. I did studies on Geronimo which instructed me the Goyatkla was from the Bedonkohe Apache. I've never heard this referenced in any modern account. Was told this was a small offshoot band made of 3 or 4 related families. Any light you guys could shed on this would be greatly appreciated. Please keep doing what you do. Lvya. D
Enjoyed this history of the area .. I think you should have been paid to travel to schools and Nursing Homes in the area and tell stories as that’s a very palatable way to get history.. yep! This tale is fine as frogs hair😉
Our owners would never advise that! You kidding me. Real history? That's not taught in schools! Hell, spelling and reading ismt even taught anymore. Besides that, schools wont open back up again! Libraries wont either. As for old folks? Sorry, they need to live their last years alone and die of loneliness because they might catch a "viris" and die that way. People are so completely ignorant and clueless to actually think they will ever have any simple rights back! People have grown spineless and tv programmed to even realize it! They just sit down nod in agreement and then go force their bs on others! All the while patting themselves on the back like they're actually good people! Oh no! You might get sick! Better never come out again and definitely if you see others call your slave owners on them! If we truly are a free people then shouldn't we have the choice to get sick or die from starvation and poverty? I for one dont give a fuck about a virus, first, because I dont own a tv so I haven't even seen said virus, second, I'm actually healthy and stay active! Staying healthy and active you have a 99.9% chance of surviving! So why aren't your benevolent rulers mentioning anything about that? Instead you're told every thing but mega corporations have to shut down, cause viruses dont like it there, wear a mask, and stand 6 ft a part. If that truly makes ANY sense to you then you've been watching to much tv and dont even understand what a virus is or how its transferred! Youd think people who were so scared of something they'd actually learn what it is! Nope, the fake , plastic, people on tv are good enough for every one!
Palmer was born in mining country, Marquette Michigan has 1 of 3 iron ranges in the UP of Michigan. The Jackson mine started in 1845. Funny how mining came back to him.
Where did they get all the dirt to completely fill the hole back up? Over the years the original dirt would've washed away during monsoons etc... How'd they fill it?
Many of the open pit mines in the area were covered over a metal plate and only a few feet of dirt was required to fill over it. The original mine filled with water and was used to water cattle for many years. After the Forest Services stopped issuing grazing permits. They sealed the mine as described.
Another great and interesting story.
Can't wait to hear more from you folks.
Thank you very much.
Ron
Amazing and wonderful. Please keep them coming. Priceless
Thats great. The more stories I hear the more I want to come there to visit once this pandemic is over.
If your afraid of a virus
Out alone in the dessert is the safest place to be

Me too! Saw my first video over the weekend and can't stop watching. I lived in Mesa for a year and had no idea.

Bravo. Hank, YOU are a National Treasure. Would love to meet you. Your knowledge is a TRUE treasure. How I wish to be young and adventurous again.
Now that's a story. X Mark's the spot, authenticated by Hank. That's good enough for me. Great story. 👍
Once Again Awsum Story
From the Big AZ... 👍🏻🤠🇺🇸
Some people think that the Superstition mountains have no gold. Glad to here that gold HAS been located there.
@Hank Sheffer so who were the idiots that decided to fill it in?
We had cub scout meeting's at the Palmer's house on South Horne here in Mesa back in the 60's. Forgot all about it till I heard your story, thanks for bringing back good memories and thanks for sharing
Thanks Hank!!! Excellent, well told and colorful...
Great stories and history!! Keep them coming !!
Thank You !
thank you, I always look forward to your videos guys 👍
Such awesome stories, Thank you!!!
Love these story's
Another great video! Keep the great work gentlemen!
What a nice surprise this channel showed up in my feed!
Thank you for this information and Great Video
Awesome Hank! Thanks for responding. That's what I learned. Makes me feel less crazy. Lol! Really appreciate. Lvya bro. D
I've heard that no gold was ever found in the Superstitions. The Palmer mine found gold, that's cool.
😅😂🤣
watching Saturday morning cartoons has taught me. BEWARE OF THE X.
That was really good! I loved it
Once again guys, thanks for a fantastic tale! I love these!
They still don’t fight! Love it!
Palmer "cured" his two wives. Must have been a pretty interesting night...
boy howdy how hot was it out there this summer ? Im next door in NM and could only prospect at night !
Great story Hank, a wealth of history sir! Carry on.
It was 94 degrees in Northern Wyoming when I was there and I heard it was 115 degrees in Arizona.

Awesome Hank, love the mysteries, great channel!
Great job you guys I love this .God bless ye
As mine shafts go, 225 ft is no big deal...I guess it was all the drifts that ate up the years...
Great pic of that alluvial fan mentioned by Mr. Sheffer at 5:43 in video frame 1:33
I really wish I'd grown up out there. The Navy put my parents in Orlando instead.
I often wish the same thing.
I saw APS with a vaccuum that would suck it clean!!
225’ doesn’t seem so bad compared to some of these mines.
Thanks for the videos!!

Goldfield is on what side of superstition mtns?

Thought Ron said no gold on the west side?
Absolutely third!
I have shovels and the will to dig 225 feet. I bet there's a hundred hoops to jump through.
If there is gold ect there I bet I can find it!!! I'm not scared.
Mammoth mine,bull dog mine what side of superstitions?
Richard: Goldfield, the Bull dog and Mammoth are all on the West end and all within a mile or so of each other
Second maybe!
Never fall in love with a hole
In Arizona mining the easiest way to get a small fortune is to start with a large fortune
LIKE...LIKE...LIKE
WHY NOT 226 FT?
Ny relation to "Arnold Palmer"
First maybe!
A BANCHA MAMOBO GAMVO. YOU WOOD BE GATIIN THE THE GOLD.
