Who knows what's in the ground? After metal detecting for 30 odd years, I have found some amazing things. Never a gold coin but I know people who have. I can imagine there's caches of treasure all over.

Smithsonian claims fake? Lucky they didn't melt them on sight.

No

There's to many details that the general public knows about the real Billy the kid even from the 1890s and early 1900s so it's hard to know the real truth.

14:47 😂 wrong again. Lol at this point you're just making things up. Tucson has been settled by spanish and whites from the mid 1500's actually

neat story, reminds me of the lost dutchman. what was the source of the story? did they use the letters to the sister as a source, or the saloon friends testimony? a lot of these stories are just made up folklore used to entertain people and fabricated from bits of other stories.

The only place to survive in Death Valley would be a mine. I bet they worked long days!

There are a lot of arches in the turtle mt ns. Some are very high, top of mtn. I backpack completely around turtles, have found nothing.

I don't think it was a mine. It was river nuggets. As a non American he only took enough to take him to next season

There is running water in some places in and around death valley. I found a bathtub on goler cyn rd. Flash flood has reburied it.

It’s possible that the tree grew over the mining pick. But if it grew so much it could have covered it or made it not very visible. I got an umbrella tree in the back yard that split in the center. So we drilled a one inch hole and hammered a one inch rod through. We used a chain come a long and cable to suck the tree together first. The tree as it grew over grew or grew into the cable of the chain come a long. I know umbrella trees grow faster than pine trees, but it’s amazing how a tree grows over something. If the tree isn’t by a rode and not cut down for fire wood you might could go metal detecting pine trees hahaha if ya knew the general hill or area.

Is the miner with the donkey photo a fake? It looks like there are tire tracks straddling the donkeys front legs.

I’ll have to look on a map. Do you know where his ranch was? I’ve spent a few hours on an Arizona website and there are chunks of private land north of the Grand Canyon. Sadly Biden made another large monument by the Grand Canyon. It’s like land simply being public land ensures there’s no subdivisions etc so it’s already pretty conserved. I lived in Delaware and wow the development is everywhere and no conservation. It’s interesting Biden never made a large monument or park east of Colorado. No land acquisitions. They said they were wanting to go from owning 25% of all the land to owning 30%. If they bought just 5% east of Colorado that’d be a ton of new monuments and parks.

Good story, those old miners were too tough for their own good, living on the edge of death.

GREAT COMMENTS

NUGGETS THE SIZE OF CHICKEN EGGS AT CLIFTON AZ

I watched an interview with a researcher or author who talked about an outlaw who lived around Laramie or Rawlins in the early 1900s that could throw a peach can in the air and shoot it all six times with the Six-Gun before it hit the ground, and how this man went to the state prison there for killing someone and ended up dying there and the autopsy revealed he had something like 20 bullet wounds throughout his body, The man's wife also passed away their as she was climbing the steps of either the local courthouse or the post office and it was found that she had tens of thousands of dollars in cash sewn up in the sequences of the dress that she was wearing when she passed away, The man being interviewed said that he believed these people wore the Sundance kid and Edna place. I can't find that interview again I don't remember the author's name

BEN was a complete idiot.

I work in different nursing homes and a caregiver for 104 yo lady. If she’s Yvonne in 1997 at 99 yo, she looks wayyyy too old for that age. With that being said, Jeanne was the real 122 years old.

Did you spend time in death valley

❤❤ love the story s.

You can get every issue of Desert on 2 CDs.

Thanks for the post. Nice to get away from the news.

very interesting thx

Wow what a story goin thru death valley with just a gallon of water is wild..

I love your stories pal. Thanks for sharing this.😊

Tinaja is a water storage barrel made of clay or in Baja California also means the holes in granite stones where the Indians would grind acorns…these small holes fill with water & saved us once when lost in Baja, in the 1990’s. Mentioned that the acorn grinding holes were said to be named this by an American that was familiar with the mountain range… and led us to there when we were lost, to find water. I don’t know if Mexicans use this word for the holes or if the location was called “tinaja” because it had a spring behind a boulder, that trickled water.

By law of Congress the first contact was in 1492. The poor acedemics could not break the law......

A couple of things. Two men that didn't know the kid but had his description were posted at the outer door yet let a stranger walk right past them into the house. A man that reportedly was a darker complexion and a beard and suggested to be half Mexican. It's well know that the kid spoke Spanish but English was his first language as was the person he was there to see. So, why would he say in Spanish to Pete Maxwell "quien es, quien es". Doesn't seem logical to me.

When you take into account that a man that was with Garrett the night he " supposedly " killed Billy made the comment when Pat turned over the body said " that aint the kid " so did garrett kill the wrong man , if so why wasnt he prosecuted for it.

Answer: no. It's a fake.

Knights of the golden circle

If u believe that this brushy guy is BTK I got a bridge to sell u. Plain n simple his age does not match up not to mention the other 100 lies that he told. Maybe BTK didn't die that day but 100% this guy is not him do it own research and u will see

No

And lest we forget that the Knights Templar and Sir Roger Sinclair very likely sailed from Scotland to Nova Scotia (New Scotland) in the late 1300's. Could this party have been an advance scouting expedition for this voyage?

One can see, in several of the screen shots, the "hooked X". The "hooked X" was an "X" with a slanted line attached to the upper right hand stroke of the "X". This symbol was only RECENTLY discovered, by later day scholars, but is NOW known to have been used by the Knights Templar and the Cistercian monks, a Catholic order associated with the Templars. There were many Cistercian monetaries on the Island of Gotland, near Sweden, in the Baltic Sea. And since it likely that very few Goth's, at the time, were knowledgeable enough to carve those runes, it is likely they had a Cistercian monk in their party that did the carving. Although the Swedish farmer DID have a book on runes in his home, it is my understanding this symbol was not included in that book. I suggest that the presence of the "hooked X" on that stone may be "conclusive" evidence that that stone and its carvings are legitimate.

Greed won out and it cost him.

It would be nice if the dates could be mentioned for ALL of the significant events as they occur during the narration so we are reminded of the timeline of Yuma's life and actions during this story.

He probably would have been better off not being greedy and remaining friends with the apache..

Man I love these stories, thanks for sharing I always enjoy.

I hit the like 😊🏝️✌️

Brushy Bill was a liar, but so was pat garret who lied to preserve the reputation of Paulita Maxwel who was anybody's dog that would hunt with her, the truth is Billy was shot in the back during an intimate moment with her that left her with an abdominal scar, and later a daughter called Gringa Retardo, in English this means white with developmental disabilities, who would later commit suicide, After Billy was killed a blood stained mattress was burned the morning after in the yard. John Poe was sent to purchase a new one that morning, and Pauline was not at Billys wake or burial because she was bandaged and bleeding. The story that was told later was all a version to erase the fact that Garett back shot Billy during coitus and kept the Maxwells from enduring the shame of their girl being the ranch bicycle, these are documented historical facts. That Mattress purchase the morning after is all anyone needs to think about, that and that no one gets shot at close range and hangs on to a pistol in one hand and a knife in the other, or that shooting someone standing causes the bullet to travel from the lower back up to the heart, that happens when someone is prone shot in the back and busy. Adella was Billy’s daughter, After William Bonney’s death in 1881, Paulita Maxwell married José Felix Jaramillo on January 14, 1883. They had three children, but he was abusive, and she eventually left the marriage. Jose often punched her bullet scarred belly and is believed to have forced himself on Adella who killed herself at the age of 16. “There was no use chasing him in that country with the start he had,” Garrett later said. “I waited until I thought he would reach his sweethearts at the Maxwell ranch house, and-I got him. Paulita said,” They asked my brother Pete why the Kid was in Fort Sumner, he shook his head and said he did not know., but he merely wanted to save Garrett the embarrassment. He knew., and I knew. I was standing beside his chair at the time and would have answered the question if Pete, with a look, had not warned me to keep my mouth shut." Also, fun fact about Garret's story is the floor plan of the old US Army officers' quarters that was then after the Maxwell house, shows no exterior door to Pete’s room. To this day no one has ever been able to explain the military officer's mattress purchase in the expense report submitted by John W Poe Ask yourself if you believe a shot from a .44 at close range in the back would mean you could hang on to a pistol and a knife and the bullet path would go from the lower back and then shoot up towards the heart. How does someone enter a room where no door exist? Why spend the night barricaded in a room in fear, unless you have done something cowardly and wrong wounding a pregnant girl in process. Did you know that Poe ended up being Sheriff the following year and that Garrett named his son after Poe?

Which mountain is the one he was found at

Billy lived

The US government is a murderous, professional band of thieves. Headed by the CIA.

I hate to say this but most all of your stories are iffy and without any confirmation of anything..
