Lost Meteorite- Update!
Greg Hawk • June 22, 2020
While driving around the edge of the Chuckwalla Mountains and filming for the video on YouTube, I started looking closer at the mountains and terrain pertaining to the story.
In my book I talked about old John who told me about this story and many others. Over the years I researched and searched for the treasures in many of his stories. In hindsight, it seems old John had his way of telling a story and it usually was told in a way that firmed up the location of where he thought the treasure to be.
Several of the stories, after searching for the treasures, I stepped back and reassessed the story and the possibilities of where the lost treasure could actually be. When doing this I assumed the basic parts of the story were correct and John's interpretation of where the treasure was, may have been off.
Well, after returning to the search area of the lost meteorite, I noticed another rock outcrop setting out from the mountains by itself. It started me thinking again about the story as to how old John told it to me. Could he have been looking at the wrong outcropping?
He said he visited a ranch and talked with the lady there who told him that her husband had found some small fragments of shiny rock that turned out to be platinum. John thought to himself that these fragments were most likely drippings off the meteorite as it went over.
John led me to believe that the old ranch house was not far from Desert Center. In thinking about this, could the meteorite have had a little bit different flight path then old John thought? Could have the meteorite collided with the top of the mountain at a different location? Could have the meteorite have broken apart prior to going over the mountains thus creating a meteorite field and not have hit the mountain at all?
If I was to go back and have a look, I would look at other outcropping that lay away from the main mountain, such as the one we filmed in the video. If this area is a meteorite field then there could be numerous pieces yet to be discovered.
Good Hunting,

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 look into the treasure story of Skelton Canyon which lies in eastern Arizona. Was it real and if so where is it buried today? Cheers! Greg Hawk

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.
A photo was sent from a subscriber showing the Indian face in the rock formation and also pictures of things he found below the nose.
