WELCOME BACK TO OZARKS FOX AM
IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER INTRIGUE
JOURNAL WITH JULIANN.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
I MISS YOU GUYS.
WE MISS YOU WHEN YOU ARE NOT
HERE.
WE ARE COMPLETELY IMMERSED
IN THE LOST TREASURE.
THIS IS A STORY THAT HAS BEEN
GOING ON FOR 125+ YEARS.
PEOPLE HAVE BECOME OBSESSED
THEY QUIT THEIR JOBS AND THEY
TRAVELED TO THIS LOCATION IN
SEARCH OF THIS TREASURE AND
IT'S ESTIMATED THAT 600 PEOPLE
HAVE DIED IN THE PURSUIT AND
THEY KEEP GOING.
AND MY PARENTS WINTER THERE AND
AT THE BASE OF THE MOUNTAIN MY
76-YEAR-OLD DOUBLE HIP
REPLACEMENT DAD CLIMBED 1 OF
THE PEAKS IN 2016.
IT'S RUGGED, IT'S DANGEROUS.
YOU COULD LOSE YOUR FOOTING AND
BECOME LOST AND ABOUT THIS
LEGEND.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT SEEMS
PLAUSIBLE BUT YOU DON'T HAVE
PROOF BUT WHAT IF THERE WAS
SOMEONE WHO FOUND THE MIND THAT
HAS PROOF?
I AM GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
THERE ARE MANY TWISTS AND
TURNS DISAPPEARANCES, SECRET
TREASURES.
ONE THING FOR CERTAIN NO MATTER
WHAT THE MOTIVATION IS ALL OF
THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TRAVERSED
THIS DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS
TERRAIN EXPEDITIONS BEGAN WITH
THE LEGEND AND ENDS WITH THE
TREASURE.
THE LEGEND OF THE LOST
DUTCHMAN'S GOLDMINE BEGAN WITH
A GERMAN IMMIGRANT.
HE WAS A GOLD PROSPECTOR IN THE
LATE 1800S BUT ACCORDING TO
LEGEND HE CLAIMED TO HAVE
LOCATED A RICH BAND OF GOLD IN
THE SUPERSTITION MOUNTAIN.
SOME ESTIMATE HE TURNED TO
$150,000 IN GOLD WORTH OVER 4
MILLION.
THEY BELIEVE HE ALLUDED OF THE
MIND AND TO MEMBERS OF THE
MEXICAN PAROLE TO FAMILY PRIOR
TO THE TREATY OF THE GUADALUPE
HIDALGO.
SOME BELIEVE HE PAID FOR THIS
INFORMATION OTHERS BELIEVE HE
KILLED FOR IT.
IN 1892 BENEATH THE DEATHBED
WAS 48 POUNDS.
SOME OF THIS WAS MADE INTO A
MATCHBOX.
YEARS LATER, THE MATCHBOX WAS
SENT OFF FOR TESTING.
CAN TELL BASED ON NOT ONLY
WHAT MINE THE GOLD COMES FROM
WHAT LEVEL OF THE MIND?
GOLD HAS A FINGERPRINT WITH DNA
AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT GOLD
FOR VOTEIF IT REMAINS A
HIDDEN MINE AND SUPERSTITION
MOUNTAIN.
WALT HAS THE SUPERSTITION
SECRET UNTIL HIS DEATH BED.
THOMAS, HIS CAREGIVER SEARCH
FOR THE MINE WITHOUT SUCCESS
AND SOLD THE MAPS FOR SEVEN
DOLLARS PER THAT WOULD BE $200
TODAY.
SINCE THEN THE MAPS HAVE
MULTIPLIED THE SUPERSTITION
MOUNTAIN MUSEUM HAS 18 MAPS ON
DISPLAY INCLUDING A REPLICA OF
THE STONES WHICH MANY BELIEVE
ARE FAKE.
IT'S A RICH STORY THAT GOES
BACK AS FAR AS THE ANCIENT
INDIANS.
AROUND 100 BOOKS HAVE BEEN
PUBLISHED.
SIX TIMES MORE PUBLISHED THAN
THE CAPTAIN KIDD PUBLIC
TREASURE.
BUT THE MOUNTAIN WAS SOME TO
THE APACHE AND LATER THE
PERALTA FAMILY AND HUNDREDS OF
MEXICANS WERE MISHEARD.
THE APACHES ACKNOWLEDGE ONE
DOCTOR WAS BLINDFOLDED AND
TAKEN TO A LINE WHERE HE COULD
TAKE AS MUCH GOLD AS HE COULD
CARRY.
THERE IS THE MAKINGS OF A GOOD
STORY.
CONSPIRACY, CONFLICTS,
MURDER.
THEIR SUPERSTITIONS ABOUT THE
MOUNTAIN MONSTER AND THE
DUTCHMAN'S CURSE.
ADOLPH ACQUIRED A MAP IN THE
HOT SUMMER OF 1931 HE WENT INTO
THE MOUNTAIN BY HIMSELF.
AND DISAPPEARED.
HIS SKULL WAS FOUND SIX MONTHS
LATER.
WITH 2 BULLET HOLES AND HIS
BODY WAS HALF A MILE AWAY.
THERE WAS NO MAP ABUNDANT
NOTEBOOK WITH A HAND WRITTEN
WORDS.
I CAME, I SAW, I CONQUERED.
HAS YET TO RESULT IN FINDING
THE SOURCE OF HIS GOLD YOU MUST
BE STANDING IN FRONT OF THE
MIND ITSELF TO UNDERSTAND THE
CLUES.
IT CAN BE SAID THAT THOSE WHO
MAKE THE EXPEDITION HAVE STRONG
CONVICTIONS ABOUT WHERE IT
HIDES.
THERE ARE MANY THEORIES.
IF YOU ARE ON THE PATIO OF THE
MAMMOTH STEAKHOUSE SALOON AND
YOU LOOK OUT ON THE DISTANCE
YOU WILL SEE WHAT LOOKS LIKE A
SPANISH ADOBE HOUSE.
WHAT'S IT DOING THERE?
IT'S COVERING THE SPOT OF THE
OLD MINE.
I DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO
TEST OUT MY OWN THEORIES ABOUT
WHERE THE GOLDMINE MIGHT BE.
HAVING MADE THE TRUCK WITH MY
DAD IN 2016.
HE WAS MY NATURAL SIDEKICK.
YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED.
WE COME PREPARED.
HUNDREDS SEARCH FOR IT EACH
YEAR MANY PEOPLE HAVE VANISHED
OTHERS HIP AND FAMILY FULL OF
HOLES IN THEIR SKULL AND
SEVERAL ARE DECAPITATED.
SCHOOLS ARE FOUND IN FARAWAY
LOCATIONS FROM THE BODY OR NOT
AT ALL.
SOME REMAINS HAVE BEEN FOUND IN
CREVICES.
CAMPS HAVE BEEN ABANDONED.
BLOOD THE BLANKETS ARE FOUND
AND REPORTS OF SNIPERS AND
CONFLICT ENSUES BETWEEN
PROSPECTORS AND PARTNERS.
IF YOU INSTITUTIONALIZE SOME
HAVE MYSTERIOUSLY DIED.
UPON THEIR RETURN.
THE ALLURE OF GOLD HAS CLAIMED
THE LIVES OF AN ESTIMATED 600.
IT SEEMS THE CURSE OF THE
THUNDER GOD IT SAID SOME
APACHES THE UNDERWORLD IS ON
THE SUPERSTITION MOUNTAINS AND
A THUNDER GOD WATCHES OVER THE
MOUNTAIN.
EVEN SO THOSE WHO FALL VICTIM
TO THE LURE OF LOST MINDS
SELDOM ESCAPE THEIR
FASCINATION.
WE ARE STANDING AT THE BASE OF
THE APACHE TRAIL.
UP AHEAD LISTEN OUTCROPPING
KNOWN AS WEAVER'S NEEDLE.
IT'S CONSIDERED TO BE A
PROMINENT LANDMARK IN LOCATING
THE LOST MINDS.
THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF
BOOKS WRITTEN THAT THAT IS
NOTHING MORE THAN ONE BOOK ON
EXACTLY WHERE IT IS.
PEOPLE STILL SEARCH FOR.
I FOUND A CREDIBLE SOURCE WHO
SPENT YEARS SEARCHING AND HE IS
COMING OUT WITH A BOOK
SCHEDULED FOR THE SUMMER OF
2020.
IT WILL BE A GREAT BOOK.
I REACHED OUT TO HIM AND IF I
DO, IT WILL BE IN NEXT WEEK'S
JOURNAL.
INTRIGUING.
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW IF HE
GOT BACK TO ME?
HE HATED.
HE IS CREDIBLE, HE HAS
EVIDENCE.
HERE IS THE BACK STORY, THERE
ARE A LOT OF MINES IN THIS
MOUNTAIN.
THEY FIND AN EMPTY ONE AND THAT
YOU THINK IS THE DUTCHMAN'S.
NOBODY CAN MATCH THEM ALL UP
UNTIL NOW.
THE STORY IS THIS SOME MORE
THAN GOLD, I CAN'T WAIT TO
SHARE WITH YOU.
IS THE MAP NOT VERY GOOD?
IT'S SUCH A HUGE AREA.
OVER 125 YEARS, THEY STILL
HAVEN'T FOUND IT.
AND THE WHOLE STORY ABOUT HOW
HE FOUND IT AND WHY HE FOUND
IT.
HATED FIND IT?
IT SEEMS LIKE HE DID.
DID HE FIND A NEW CAR?
YOU CAN'T MINE IT.
THERE WOULD BE OTHER PERKS TO
FINDING IT.
AS THE JOURNEY.
HE IS SO CUTE.
I LOVE YOUR DAD.
NEXT WEEK YOU WILL BE BACK
WITH THE INTERVIEW.
IT MIGHT BE TWO PARTS.
WE HAVE TIME.
WE WILL BE BACK TO WRAP
