Ah the glorious life of the treasure hunter!  Grin

I can not find record's of him selling more then a few thousand dollars of ore in 10 years. If his mine was so rich why didn't he work it or sell it?

Now thats a very valid question. The more I read about this one the more I think it's more yarn than fact.

Seldom, I think your 3 group analysis is pretty accurate.   I'll go you one better and say that a lot of people in either group 1 or group 2 are unlikely to be persuaded by what people in group 3 uncover.

True so True
group 1 or group 2 are unlikely to be persuaded by what people in group 3 uncover.
Peralta, operated a mine or mines in the area. Fact. There has been some large scale mining in the area over the last 100 plus years. Fact. The large mining companys mined the Peralta mines years ago?Huh???

How did the Dutchman and the Peralta legends get all mixed together?Huh?

Old Dutch had a little gold not much but a little. Fact
He high graded? I think so.
He found a cache? I think so, maybe, he$$ I don't know.

Here is another theory that I also like. Dutch was a outlaw or front man for outlaw gang and the mine story was a cover.

I just can not get past the fact that if he was setting on the richest mine in the US he would not have sold more gold from it.

   
I want to kick this thread back up and add.

Looking though old news papers it seems that every few months a hiker is lost while looking for the LDM.
He is found days or weeks later sometimes alive sometimes not. Lot or press lot of news reports. I think a lot of this is bull, people will do anything to keep The LDM in the press good for business.
I live in a tourist town I know how it works less then 10% of drowning's are reported on the news or in the paper's, you never read about robbery,s or muggings Why bad for the tourist trade.   
But let someone find a gold coin or a nice fossil and its front page for days why good for the tourist trade.

Go Up Go Down

Seldom, 
     I've got no problems with most of the Lost Dutchman tales and speculations.   Personally, I lean toward one of the following:
1) the Dutchman was retrieving gold from a cache either he created himself with gold he high-graded from the Vulture or another mine he worked OR he was taking gold from a cache that someone else created and which he found
2) the Dutchman was working a rich pocket which may or may not have been in the Superstitions
3) the Dutchman stumbled across the remains of a Spanish era pack train that had been wiped out by Indians.   Once again, this may or may not have been in the Superstitions.   All we know for sure is that is the direction the Dutchman headed and the direction from which he returned.

   On the other hand, I have serious reservations with all things Peralta when that name is linked to Arizona and/or western New Mexico.   I won't say that I can't be convinced that there is a legitimate Peralta connection, but given the history of forgery and attempted forgery associated with the Peralta name in Arizona, I'd say skepticism is called for.   As far as I know the only legitimate Peralta grant inside what is now the continental United States would have been in California.......BUT, that doesn't keep key elements of the Peralta legend from being true----such as Spanish mines in the area, and pack trains that get wiped out on their way to Mexico City.   I'll accept those as highly probable.  I just think the wrong names are attached to the legends.

That's a good point BA.

I believe the Peralta's operated mines in Arizona did they leave all the maps and markers. No why would they.

1) the Dutchman was retrieving gold from a cache either he created himself with gold he high-graded from the Vulture or another mine he worked OR he was taking gold from a cache that someone else created and which he found.

That's the theory I am going with for now

Go Up Go Down

Hello all

BA and Seldom you have both made some very interesting and valid points on the topic.
I am not sure if the Peralta of legend is connected to the Peralta family of California or the original Peralta family of Santa Fe.

I have a seen a document transferring mining lease of two mines. "The Aquila" and the " Aldama" dated may 3rd 1863. Two names on the records Miguel Peralta and Pablo Peralta.

Are they some how connected to Peralta of legend, the Californian Peralta family or the Santa Fe? If it is then perhaps Peralta was never killed in any massacre in 1847?

Was it not alleged in the Peralta land fraud case that the Santa Fe Peralta family had died out long before the date of the alleged 1847 massacre?

All of these question perplex me on the validity of the Peralta story. That and no contemporary newspaper reports of the massacre or any reports of the bodies found by the army patrol has come to light?

If there is no evidence yet surfaced to confirm the Peralta legend then where does this leave us with the alleged Peralta stones?

There are many questions that need to be asked to understand this complex but interesting treasure legend.

Hardluck  Huh?

The Peralta of California did not show up till 1776 and have no history of mining, so for now I am going to leave them be. 

The city of Santa Fe was founded by Don Pedro de Peralta, New Mexico's third governor this branch needs more research they were involved in mining.

Treasure Maps

Note: Treasure maps and purported treasure maps are often notoriously ambiguous in
their dating. For example, the famous Peralta-Fish Map is commonly dated to 1848; however,
there are no known documentation of its existence before the 1930s at the earliest, and
perhaps not until as late as the 1950s. The dates given below should all be considered tenuous.

Hardluck,  I'm with Seldom on this.   That is a heck of a reference list.  Anyone seriously looking for the Dutchman's gold has plenty there to keep them busy when they can't get in the field.   I won't be one of their competitors, but there are a some sources you have cited that I'm going to take a closer look at myself.

Thanks for the list,

BA
