The fella that found the Finn treasure , he found the location after watching lots of Finn interviews on RUclips, and heard Finn say where he would like to die, then went to that location with a map and spent 26 separate days walking around at site
I heard someone else had also gotten very close but not found the exact spot. If I remember correctly, this was from Forrest himself, who had revisited the location to check on it, and noticed someone had been digging, but not in the right spot.

7:06 "Nearly eight centuries before..." I'm guessing that was supposed to be eight decades. :-) My father's family used to own land just west of the Superstition Mountains. My uncle lived there for most of his life. An actual mine, the Bluebird Mine, is on that land. I remember visiting him and my aunt when I was a child and hearing the tales of the Lost Dutchman Mine. Good times.
Beals Treasure is a really fascinating story. One that it is possible that Beal himself may have retrieved to avoid being caught with, or others from his group may have. It has ruined EVERYONE that has searched for it. Thank You Simon.

according to some old Idahoens, supposedly that gold from the first one was hidden out in the middle of the desert north of Shoshone where I grew up. in what is now called craters of the moon park. a large expanse of dark lava rock from an eruption several thousand years ago. it's rumored to be hidden in one of the hundreds of collapsed lava tubes out there, it will likely never be found.

The Superstition Mountains are really beautiful, there's a road that winds its way between the outskirts of Phoenix and Roosevelt Lake. Very impressive terrain.
The footage of the train wheels during the description of the rock barricade placed by the outlaws totally confused the narrative for me. I was trying to make sense out of the story, thinking it was a train robbery and I had to go back to figure it out. The train footage is completely non related to the story. It was a stagecoach robbery. 🤷🏻♂️
I’m confused, it’s called the Eastern Idaho robbery, but occurred in Ada County, which borders Oregon on Idaho’s western border. Maybe the geographical confusion is why no one found the gold.
The case of the Doctors death reminds me of the tail told about USSR officials that committed suicide by shooting themselves 6 Times in the Back of the Head. No word if they reloaded just in case 6 shots was not enough.
There have been more than a few suicides involving multiple gunshots to the head, a few even involving shotguns. Of course, no one reloads after dying.
Excellent video again. Simon, you are absolutely brilliant. With your cheeky delivery, you could do a vid on the phone book and it would be the most entertaining thing ever. Brilliant, Lad, brilliant. Cheers.
I'm 66 years old been a treasure hunter/metal detectionest for over 40 years so I know a few things about it. 1) Very few outlaws burried the treasure, they spent it as fast as they stole it 2) The amount and value of these treasures is greatly exagerated 3) All land in the U.S. is owned/controlled eather by private land, city, county, state, or federal land so make sure you are legal to hunt there it can save you a lot of trouble. 4) always leave your hunting area better than you found it, fill in your holes, pick up and take with you any trash you see even if its not yours 5) alway stay aware of your suroundings esp. in the wild and not only animals, dangerious terrain, sudden weather changes etc but also people, not everybody is your friend. Good luck, have fun, stay safe.
@@cattibingo how was it formed? What animals? What about the entire museum and work crew who dig those animals put? Have people ever fallen in? Could you survive if you fell in? I feel like there's plenty to find out.
I hope the concert/events industry in Belgium recovers from the Covid-rules. Even the oldtimer events are under pressure, afraid of investments that can kill off the whole deal.
Last I heard, it was speculated that a old primitive smelter (Spanish, American Indian?) is what the Dutchman found. Not a mine, not the source of the gold, but rather lumps of partially smelted gold. If my memory is not off the rails - it could be - the remains of this smelter was found by some local researchers.
I guess you missed the part about all the lawsuits and people killing each other? X_X Although there are treasure hunters who have become good friends and enjoyed the hunt. 🙂
lost dutchman mine is apparently just a pit in the ground and not a tunnel into a hillside as the quartz veins in the superstition mountains that contain the gold go straight down. plus people get scared off by the legends of the Apache black legion that still guard the area, a band of 7ft tall warriors that kill anyone that gets too close to their sacred sites, which is also where the lost mine is.

Out here in Waianae we have a treasure mystery. Wallace Poe took two buckets of gold coins and hid them after walking up the Waianae stream. The one story I read does not say when or why. Jan.1893 when the Kingdom was overthrown? U.S. gold was made legal tender here in 1880. Wallace Poe owned a large high class saloon here c1900-mahogany bar, ferns &c. Even without the gold, there seems so much more to the story. Was there enough here to support this sort of business? There was a 2 storey wooden hotel here in the 1890s. It served cattle buyers from Honolulu? I've seen the cut basalt revetments under a 1950s house where C&C lifeguards stay, behind our firehouse. I did find a quantity of broken black gins and some broken Consolidated Sodas. The trials of a latter day 2010s bottle digger
I know what would give disappointed searchers some closure about someone else finding the treasure: If Stuef would get together with some talented production people and make a documentary about his search and discovery, along with whatever of sharing he'd be willing to do about himself and other people in his life before, during and after the search. Everyone's got a story, and although he doesn't "owe" his to anybody, I think it would really soothe the sore folks if they at least got to find the treasure by-proxy. Heck, the video could even include the experiences of some other people who tried! I've only been mildly interested in this story, but I'd watch the hell out of a wrap-up documentary about it!
It would unfortunately just perpetuate the conspiracy theories about his discovery. Along with prolongimg interest in the treasure, & the threats against him - sadly. After all of the expensive law suits he's suffered, it's best to take the lawyer's advice & "remain silent."
@@k-ozdragon I get what you're saying but I respectfully disagree. Maybe the happy medium would be to allow a good several years of "cooling off" period to elapse, so that the jealous losers could get used to the fact that it's over, and find other things to obsess on. Then, and assuming the production was WELL done, I believe the net result would be far more positive than negative. No you can't fix all the bitter paranoia in the world, but you certainly won't make it any better without trying.
Steuf doesn't owe anyone a thing. He found it and all the whiners can take credit for the silence that follows. Anyone who was lost, injured, or died from hunting for the treasure did so of their own volition. Take responsibility for your own actions. You have the choice to place yourself at risk with zero guarantees every single day.
Odd that the east Idaho stagecoach thing involved someone from Ada county. That's the other side of the state, about five hours by car now. It would have been five or six days back then.
Born and raised in Idaho and never knew anything about this, to hell with this cowboy life gonna go find me some gold! Love your channels and videos Simon keep it up brotha 🤙🏼
So i used to live in Arizona, and searching for the Lost Dutchman's Mine was a death sentence. Around 600 people have died searching it. On a related but sad note, there was an awesome restraunt located at the base called The Mining Camp. It used to be a mining settlement for the mountain that got converted to a hotel and restraunt. Unfortunately it burned down several years ago and the owner chose not to rebuild :c
Great video 👍. I was raised in Arizona not far from where the lost Dutchman Mine is supposedly located. I don't think it exists. I've been reading and watching Lost Dutchman Mine material all my life. In 50 years, NO ONE has shown one single shred of evidence that the LDM even existed. Jacob Waltz was a miner but how does anyone REALLY know what he said in his life. And yes, it's likely he had a gold mine someplace, but that in itself proves NOTHING. No two stories match, the maps are so ambiguous they're totally useless. "... someone said in 1904...". "...I heard about...". "... I've seen the...". "... I heard from a friend that knew a guy that had a cousin that knew a guy that had a brother in law that heard about...". Sorry! 😲 It's NOT PROOF!!
I'm with James. I also grew up in the shadow of the Superstitions and the Lost Dutchman Mine thing is not too far different from UFO lore. Lots of people make money selling books about it (and fake treasure maps) but the only people who win out...are the ones writing the books not the ones reading them. There is one gram of truth to about ten kilos of pure crap. Note to the unwise: that mountain may not be tall but it is RUGGED and that mountain will KILL you if you don't know what you are doing.
Im surprised the one about the guy in the 20th century that stumbled into a desert cave and found bars of gold stacked high but couldnt refind it and the us military suddenly bought the area up .
Can we have a video about the lost grave of Attila the HUN? Or about something from Hungary? I am Hungarian and I rarely see stuff about Hungary, despite it having so many inventors, more that a 1000 years of history, 18 nobel prizes, etc...
A little known treasure of sorts exist somewhere near the site of the Battle of the Little Bighorn.The story is after the 7th Calvary was defeated by the Cheyenne and Sioux warriors the bodies of the soldiers and the wagons were looted and the valuables(quite substantial by documents found)were spirited away to be hidden in a nearby cave and eventually was forgotten after the last surviving witnesses passed away until stories emerged decades later of its existence.To this day it has not been found!
Who ever finds the first one would be smart to invest in a melting furnace, some casting forms, a stout home safe, and not tell a soul how they came upon 800lbs of previously stolen gold.
Another good "legendary" treasure of the US is the treasure of Neah-Kah-Nie mountain. 1800's sailing and Indian history. Even large enough in attention that an indie movie was produced based on it.
I mean, if Stuef hadn't come out as the guy who found it, he'd probably not have to deal with all of the lawsuits and need 6 layers of security... Sometimes it's better not to write your name on your homework....
Simon, could you guys do one on the Egyptian colony treasure supposedly found by the Smithsonian funded archeologist g.e. Kincaid?? It's a cool story, and not well known. Would be awesome!!
For anyone interested. I have a painting from the 30s showing the seated indian that points to the lost dutchman's mine. Never had the chutzpah to actually search for it and I hate the desert. Not looking to sell it, just put the info into someone's use.
The cyst on your skull is going purple, Simone, that can be a bad sign. Could mean it's breached a blood vessel, which could lead to septaecaemia. Get it removed. Failing that at least get it a suitable pair of miniature glasses and a matching beard. It's wierd being distracted by your growing second head.
One thing I would think, if it was found especially on private property, only the portion that was paid out by the insurance company should be confiscated and the rest left to the owner of the property.
No By law if the insurance company paid it’s theirs There are some ship wrecks that can be dived on but soon as you come up an insurance agent will take it

On a related but sad note, there was an awesome restraunt located at the base called The Mining Camp. It used to be a mining settlement for the mountain that got converted to a hotel and restraunt. Unfortunately it burned down several years ago and the owner chose not to rebuild :c
Great video 👍. I was raised in Arizona not far from where the lost Dutchman Mine is supposedly located. I don't think it exists. I've been reading and watching Lost Dutchman Mine material all my life. In 50 years, NO ONE has shown one single shred of evidence that the LDM even existed. Jacob Waltz was a miner but how does anyone REALLY know what he said in his life. And yes, it's likely he had a gold mine someplace, but that in itself proves NOTHING. No two stories match, the maps are so ambiguous they're totally useless.
"... someone said in 1904...".
"...I heard about...".
"... I've seen the...".
"... I heard from a friend that knew a guy that had a cousin that knew a guy that had a brother in law that heard about...".
Sorry! 😲 It's NOT PROOF!!
Think it's real, it's lost or someone opened a mine on top of it
I'm with James. I also grew up in the shadow of the Superstitions and the Lost Dutchman Mine thing is not too far different from UFO lore. Lots of people make money selling books about it (and fake treasure maps) but the only people who win out...are the ones writing the books not the ones reading them. There is one gram of truth to about ten kilos of pure crap. Note to the unwise: that mountain may not be tall but it is RUGGED and that mountain will KILL you if you don't know what you are doing.

Well said! 👍
I would love an analysis of what duties and powers the remaining European Royals have. What can Queen Margarit do that Queen Elizabeth can’t.
Im surprised the one about the guy in the 20th century that stumbled into a desert cave and found bars of gold stacked high but couldnt refind it and the us military suddenly bought the area up .
Can we have a video about the lost grave of Attila the HUN? Or about something from Hungary? I am Hungarian and I rarely see stuff about Hungary, despite it having so many inventors, more that a 1000 years of history, 18 nobel prizes, etc...
@John Barber HA! Paprika is just MWAH!!!
Actually, all they need is a forge hot enough to melt gold, some black sand and a bucket of water. Bars melted lose their serial number.
Great video I recently found a guy called finding tugz and seems pretty cool!
A little known treasure of sorts exist somewhere near the site of the Battle of the Little Bighorn.The story is after the 7th Calvary was defeated by the Cheyenne and Sioux warriors the bodies of the soldiers and the wagons were looted and the valuables(quite substantial by documents found)were spirited away to be hidden in a nearby cave and eventually was forgotten after the last surviving witnesses passed away until stories emerged decades later of its existence.To this day it has not been found!
Eight centuries? More like eight decades.
Who ever finds the first one would be smart to invest in a melting furnace, some casting forms, a stout home safe, and not tell a soul how they came upon 800lbs of previously stolen gold.
Another good "legendary" treasure of the US is the treasure of Neah-Kah-Nie mountain. 1800's sailing and Indian history.
Even large enough in attention that an indie movie was produced based on it.
11:35 honestly, at that point, I'd rather NOT have found the treasure and continue my life in peace instead.
Do an episode on the Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple.
The madness of greed drives people to an early grave... :P
I mean, if Stuef hadn't come out as the guy who found it, he'd probably not have to deal with all of the lawsuits and need 6 layers of security...
Sometimes it's better not to write your name on your homework....
Simon, could you guys do one on the Egyptian colony treasure supposedly found by the Smithsonian funded archeologist g.e. Kincaid?? It's a cool story, and not well known. Would be awesome!!
Found in Arizona!!!! Forgot to mention that. Oops.

There is a monsters and mysteries in America episode about the losts Dutchman mine.
For anyone interested. I have a painting from the 30s showing the seated indian that points to the lost dutchman's mine. Never had the chutzpah to actually search for it and I hate the desert. Not looking to sell it, just put the info into someone's use.
Yamashita Treasure next, please.
The cyst on your skull is going purple, Simone, that can be a bad sign. Could mean it's breached a blood vessel, which could lead to septaecaemia. Get it removed. Failing that at least get it a suitable pair of miniature glasses and a matching beard. It's wierd being distracted by your growing second head.
One thing I would think, if it was found especially on private property, only the portion that was paid out by the insurance company should be confiscated and the rest left to the owner of the property.
No
By law if the insurance company paid it’s theirs
There are some ship wrecks that can be dived on but soon as you come up an insurance agent will take it
0:54 "objected"? WTH does that mean?
A place called "superstition mountains" is probably one you don't want to be snooping around in
I've been hiking there dozens of times and its actually quite beautiful
@@anonymousrex5207 a few disappeared in the past
"nearly 8 centuries before in the summer of 1931...." seems wrong LOL
The Superstitions, my back yard! And what a yard it is!!!
We all know those missing treasure hunters all got swallowed by rattlesneeeeeks 🐍
