    When I was a kid we used to live in a small town (I don't recall the name) between Winslow and Holbrook and my oldest brother used to tell us tales about his visits to the Superstition Mountains, he never pushed his luck by going treasure hunting but he did know a few of the locals there and they always gave him a few tall tales to tell his younger siblings. I've never seen the Superstition Mountains with my own two eyes but I've always thought that they were in their own right breathtakingly beautiful. If I ever get to visit Arizona again I will bring my camera to take pictures of the beautiful scenery, and I'll be sure to leave the hiking and treasure hunting to the more seasoned professionals. I love your videos, my friend, keep up the good work.

    Nice to see you mr.Worst. I worked at the Wasp back in 1992 when Rex and my uncle Robert set up Rexs trommel on your mine. I enjoyed your history of the area. Glad to see you are doing great. My uncle turned 94 last Oct. Doing fine in Kingman. God bless you...

    Gold runs through those channels, it's not gold ore all straight through that dirt. I'm in gold country in CA, & everybody knows that gold vein that's been dug to the end, is tapped out & gone. You might find a pocket here & there. Goodluck

    • @larryhedrick254
      @larryhedrick254 10 місяців тому

      Except, in the case of the WASP, they stopped not because the ore ran out, They only stopped because they had dug into another persons claim and there was ore nearly the same assayed value at the bottom 1,000 feet as was at the top end and the assays were still available. The top end of the WASP had produced a significant amount of gold on its own but the ore vein required going underground at an 87 degree angle downward a 1000 feet to reach the bottom.
