Horse Mesa Treasure & Spanish Signs
Greg Hawk • August 26, 2022
Did the Spanish markers show the route the King’s men took to get to the rich mines? Did the Jesuit priests pass this way leaving some of their treasure behind as they fled the King’s men?
Did the lost two hikers find part of the Jesuit treasure in a canyon? This is rough country and not for the faint hearted. Maybe it is better to stop at Tortilla Flat and talk about the lost treasure as the 105-degree temperature outside makes the cold beer much more enjoyable.
Enjoy the Story!
Cheers,

A sunny hot day with the sun beating down on a propane tank possibly created excess pressure in the propane hose going to the heater. Even though tent ventilation flaps were open, the sudden rush of propane gas and a spark or possibly the pilot light set it off creating a massive fireball blowing out the side vent of the tent. Luckily I was there to quickly extinguish the fire. Stay safe out there! Greg Hawk

A true story of a lost mine in the Superstition Mountains that a claim was filed on in 1927 by Gladys Jenkins. It's a story of a lady who faced many hardships and disppointments in life but her unbending will kept her going through the hardest of times. While working in Phoenix, to help make ends meet, she meets an Apache lady that saw how she was struggling and decided to help her by showing her a gold mine in the Superstition Mountains that was once worked by Mexicans miners. The original claim papers filed with the county tell of the location of the mine which we will show you. Cheers! Greg Hawk

This is a story as told by Barry Storm in his book, "Thunder Gods Gold". We take a close look at this treasure story to see if there is in fact any truth to it. It is up to the viewer to make their own decision once we present the facts in our research of the characters in this story. With over 200 books and articles about the treasures lost in the Superstition Mountains we strongly have our doubts about most of them being factual. Would you chase after the gold in this story?

A lost ledge of gold and the prospector who found it but wasn't able to return. The marker he left was his vest with a mule shoe on top of it to mark the spot. This story takes place around 1900 along the Colorado River about 25 to 30 miles north of Yuma, Arizona on the California side of the river at a place called Picacho. A man searched for it for over 20 years and never found it, can you?

This is the story of a stagecoach robbery that was printed in the March-April edition of Westerner Magazine in 1974.
It took place south of Beale Springs and supposedly $200,000 worth of gold bullion was heisted from the stagecoach and the stagecoach disappeared after the robbery never to be found until 40 years later.
