Update to Lost Ivanpah Silver Vein

Greg Hawk • March 21, 2022

After I made the video about this treasure hunt I found a couple of photos I took when I first came upon what I believed was the “Silver Vein” that Miguel had talked about in the story.


These pictures show an old bucket and a small cigarette tin that I believe were Miguel’s which had been setting up in the mountains for close to 100 years. The bucket had rusted out somewhat but in the desert where there is very little rain this is what I would have expected to see. 


Upon finding these I was elated and believed, after searching on and off for over ten years, that I had finally found the lost silver vein. It was in an extremely rough area to get to, and I don’t believe any cattle or cowboys had been this way during the past 100 years. 


The pictures show my camp out on Mesquite Lake, which is a dry lake bed, along with a pictures of myself with the bucket and by the vein.

After being told of large silver nuggets being found around Globe, AZ, I started my research on the area. A couple of months later I camped out around Globe for a month walking the mountains and searching for the elusive silver nuggets.  500,000 oz. of silver taken out of one mine and thousands of ounces more were found laying on the ground in the form of nuggets.

This video tells of the founding of Greaterville, a mining town of 1875, and the rich gold placer fields surrounding it. It is said that over 29,000 oz. or gold and 6,000 oz of silver came out of these placers surrounding Greaterville. Later the Santa Rita Water and Mining Company was formed and their headquarters were built in Kentucky Wash and was called Kentucky Camp. This company was formed for the sole purpose of bringing water to the rich placers so they could use hydraulic mining to recover the gold. Later on Kentucky Camp became a cattle ranch until 1960 when it sold to the Alamax Mining Company who had it until 1989. The U.S. Forest Service took it over and made it part of the Coronado National Forest at that time. Greg Hawk

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?
