This was a first story told to me by John, who I met in Strawberry, Arizona, and whom I write about in my book. He totally believed that he knew where the Lost Dutchman Mine was and he intertwined it with the Lost Two Soldiers Mine which makes one ask the question; “Are the Two Lost Mines one of the same?” These two Lost Treasure Stories take place in the notorious Superstition Mountains just outside Apache Junction, Arizona. 

There have been many books written about the Lost Dutchman Mine and people from all over the world have come in search of it. It has been said that over 30 people have died while searching for it. Some were found decapitated, some shot, some died from exposure to the desert heat, and some totally disappeared never to be found. 

Many of the early deaths were blamed on the Indians who were supposedly keeping the white man out of their sacred grounds. Was it true or just a muse to blame the Indians while crazies looking for the lost mine killed anyone they thought were going to get in their way? It’s anybody’s guess to what the real truth is.

It is some tough country, especially in the summer, when the desert heat and mountain terrain can become just as much an enemy as man. 

Join me in this video as I take you back into the Superstition Mountains and show you areas that fit into a story of the past long forgotten. 



Cheers,
