7:03 "Nearly eight centuries before...in the summer of 1931..." Is Simon a time lord? It would explain how he can have so many channels, and can seemingly release 25 hours of new content every day...

The pastor that died in this search was my cousin. He claimed it would be the last great adventure he'd get to go on before his ill health took him for good. Me and most of the family never held any ill will towards the the organizers of the search.

Simon could give a tour of a Phone Booth and it would be more interesting than anything on TV.

If Simon adds any more channels it will take all day to watch them all.

Imagine finding 800lb of gold then watch the value shrink as you go through shady contact after shady contact to find a shady fence. Heartbreaking.

Simon don’t know if you will ever read this but your videos have made working from home so much more bearable :) thank you my friend.

7:06 "Nearly eight centuries before..." I'm guessing that was supposed to be eight decades. :-) My father's family used to own land just west of the Superstition Mountains. My uncle lived there for most of his life. An actual mine, the Bluebird Mine, is on that land. I remember visiting him and my aunt when I was a child and hearing the tales of the Lost Dutchman Mine. Good times.

according to some old Idahoens, supposedly that gold from the first one was hidden out in the middle of the desert north of Shoshone where I grew up. in what is now called craters of the moon park. a large expanse of dark lava rock from an eruption several thousand years ago. it's rumored to be hidden in one of the hundreds of collapsed lava tubes out there, it will likely never be found.

Finding someone to purchase a large hunk of pure gold in the shape of a blank square would not be difficult

The fella that found the Finn treasure , he found the location after watching lots of Finn interviews on KZfaq, and heard Finn say where he would like to die, then went to that location with a map and spent 26 separate days walking around at site

The Superstitions will always hold a special place in my heart. I fell off a mountain there and lived to tell the tale. 😃

Simon talks more and more quickly as he adds channels; I'm assuming when he gets to about 20, we'll have to watch at 1/2 speed just to understand him. :)

7:22 “Ironically Dr. Ruth was found with a .44 caliber revolver...” Was about to say “Never thought I’d hear that sentence”, but then remembered Dr. Ruth Westheimer actually trained as a sniper 😅

The footage of the train wheels during the description of the rock barricade placed by the outlaws totally confused the narrative for me. I was trying to make sense out of the story, thinking it was a train robbery and I had to go back to figure it out. The train footage is completely non related to the story. It was a stagecoach robbery. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The case of the Doctors death reminds me of the tail told about USSR officials that committed suicide by shooting themselves 6 Times in the Back of the Head. No word if they reloaded just in case 6 shots was not enough.

Beals Treasure is a really fascinating story. One that it is possible that Beal himself may have retrieved to avoid being caught with, or others from his group may have. It has ruined EVERYONE that has searched for it. Thank You Simon.

I’m confused, it’s called the Eastern Idaho robbery, but occurred in Ada County, which borders Oregon on Idaho’s western border. Maybe the geographical confusion is why no one found the gold.

1:10 - Chapter 1 - East idaho stagecoach heist 4:35 - Chapter 2 - The last dutchman mine 7:55 - Chapter 3 - Rocky mountain treasure challenge - Chapter 4 - - Chapter 5 -

The Superstition Mountains are really beautiful, there's a road that winds its way between the outskirts of Phoenix and Roosevelt Lake. Very impressive terrain.

How could someone reload a large caliber handgun after shooting themselves I'm the head twice?? The Clinton's: 👀🤷🏼

The followers demand. The followers receive. Simon talks so fast now 😂 thank you for your service sir

It’s pretty funny that Simon has so many channels now, he can’t remember which of his channels does what.

"Gold brings out the larceny in all of us." John Wayne

Maybe the real treasure were the Simon's channels we subbed along the way

Odd that the east Idaho stagecoach thing involved someone from Ada county. That's the other side of the state, about five hours by car now. It would have been five or six days back then.

As a resident of Arizona, thank you Simon for featuring a story I heard about since I was a child.

I'd love to see you do one of these on "the bat bomb" from WWII.

Weren't there two Nick Cage movies about this kind of thing, haha Great video!

You guys should do a video on the la brea tar pits!!

7:06 "Nearly 8 centuries before..." Dr. Ruth is a time traveler.

At some point, watching the National Treasure movies, you realize Nicholas Cage is the national treasure.

How many cups of coffee did you have this day buddy ?!?😂

I think I am addicted to your TV shows.

I'm in the midst of a "Scalp-A-Thon", watching all the channels at once !!!

lost dutchman mine is apparently just a pit in the ground and not a tunnel into a hillside as the quartz veins in the superstition mountains that contain the gold go straight down. plus people get scared off by the legends of the Apache black legion that still guard the area, a band of 7ft tall warriors that kill anyone that gets too close to their sacred sites, which is also where the lost mine is.

Working on my Simon beard 🔥

Out here in Waianae we have a treasure mystery. Wallace Poe took two buckets of gold coins and hid them after walking up the Waianae stream. The one story I read does not say when or why. Jan.1893 when the Kingdom was overthrown? U.S. gold was made legal tender here in 1880. Wallace Poe owned a large high class saloon here c1900-mahogany bar, ferns &c. Even without the gold, there seems so much more to the story. Was there enough here to support this sort of business? There was a 2 storey wooden hotel here in the 1890s. It served cattle buyers from Honolulu? I've seen the cut basalt revetments under a 1950s house where C&C lifeguards stay, behind our firehouse. I did find a quantity of broken black gins and some broken Consolidated Sodas. The trials of a latter day 2010s bottle digger

I'm 66 years old been a treasure hunter/metal detectionest for over 40 years so I know a few things about it. 1) Very few outlaws burried the treasure, they spent it as fast as they stole it 2) The amount and value of these treasures is greatly exagerated 3) All land in the U.S. is owned/controlled eather by private land, city, county, state, or federal land so make sure you are legal to hunt there it can save you a lot of trouble. 4) always leave your hunting area better than you found it, fill in your holes, pick up and take with you any trash you see even if its not yours 5) alway stay aware of your suroundings esp. in the wild and not only animals, dangerious terrain, sudden weather changes etc but also people, not everybody is your friend. Good luck, have fun, stay safe.

Simon... Love your stuff. I am ALWAYS looking for more content by you!!!!!

Last I heard, it was speculated that a old primitive smelter (Spanish, American Indian?) is what the Dutchman found. Not a mine, not the source of the gold, but rather lumps of partially smelted gold. If my memory is not off the rails - it could be - the remains of this smelter was found by some local researchers.

I once saw a KZfaq-video not hosted by Simon. I did not know what to make of it, it was baffling. Great video anyway as always 👌

I used to live in Arizona, I could see Superstition Mountain from my patio, people would always get into trouble looking for buried treasure.

The real treasure is the journey & friendship they forged on the time they spent treasure hunting 😭

if you ever do any vids on weird addictions you might want to include yourself talking about your various channels (P.s. beard game looking strong!)

0:30 "The treasure was Simon all along" :o

Opening seconds: Simon looks down and discovers he's in the sideprojects chair and therefore assumes the sideprojects Simon persona sub-variant... 😁

came here to hear about the treasure of victorio peak. was surprised when it wasn't mentioned.

I know what would give disappointed searchers some closure about someone else finding the treasure: If Stuef would get together with some talented production people and make a documentary about his search and discovery, along with whatever of sharing he'd be willing to do about himself and other people in his life before, during and after the search. Everyone's got a story, and although he doesn't "owe" his to anybody, I think it would really soothe the sore folks if they at least got to find the treasure by-proxy. Heck, the video could even include the experiences of some other people who tried! I've only been mildly interested in this story, but I'd watch the hell out of a wrap-up documentary about it!

Im surprised the one about the guy in the 20th century that stumbled into a desert cave and found bars of gold stacked high but couldnt refind it and the us military suddenly bought the area up .

I can't keep up anymore on which channels Simon Whistler appears ! 🤔 .... Infographics, Geographics, etc etc etc !!

I bet if Simon went treasure hunting in his beard he'd find that KFC lunch combo he forgot about.

There is a monsters and mysteries in America episode about the losts Dutchman mine.

So i used to live in Arizona, and searching for the Lost Dutchman's Mine was a death sentence. Around 600 people have died searching it. On a related but sad note, there was an awesome restraunt located at the base called The Mining Camp. It used to be a mining settlement for the mountain that got converted to a hotel and restraunt. Unfortunately it burned down several years ago and the owner chose not to rebuild :c

Excellent video again. Simon, you are absolutely brilliant. With your cheeky delivery, you could do a vid on the phone book and it would be the most entertaining thing ever. Brilliant, Lad, brilliant. Cheers.

Simon secretly is planning on finding all this gold and Is just deterring other people from finding it.

"Crooked Mormon" sounds like it could be the name of a 90s grunge band.

Very interesting, thank you for the video.

The goldwater mine on red mountain and the lost dutchman mine are one in the same. Barry goldwater found it and filed a claim.

300 missions in the Vietnam War? That was when 100 missions constituted a single tour of duty.

You should look into kincaid’s cave in the Grand Canyon👀

"Vidi vici vini" is always so much more fun 😎👍🏼

7:06 simon should have done another take he said CENTURIES instead of DECADES ...it would have been either 1131 ad or 1212 ad if it was centuries

Thanks Simon.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?

Why are treasure hunters so damn vindictive to each other? "You found the treasure before me? You must have been cheating! I'm going to sue!"

Literally why would anyone announce that they found X missing treasure of it just means you become a target and probably won’t get to keep it.

People arrested for using public property. A sign that the land of the free is slowly becoming unfree

Great video 👍. I was raised in Arizona not far from where the lost Dutchman Mine is supposedly located. I don't think it exists. I've been reading and watching Lost Dutchman Mine material all my life. In 50 years, NO ONE has shown one single shred of evidence that the LDM even existed. Jacob Waltz was a miner but how does anyone REALLY know what he said in his life. And yes, it's likely he had a gold mine someplace, but that in itself proves NOTHING. No two stories match, the maps are so ambiguous they're totally useless. "... someone said in 1904...". "...I heard about...". "... I've seen the...". "... I heard from a friend that knew a guy that had a cousin that knew a guy that had a brother in law that heard about...". Sorry! 😲 It's NOT PROOF!!

Can we have a video about the lost grave of Attila the HUN? Or about something from Hungary? I am Hungarian and I rarely see stuff about Hungary, despite it having so many inventors, more that a 1000 years of history, 18 nobel prizes, etc...

Very Good

Sad to hear people are so salty about missing out on a treasure, the thrill is in the hunt not in holding onto the treasure you find.

7:05. "Nearly 8 centuries before" ??????

For anyone interested. I have a painting from the 30s showing the seated indian that points to the lost dutchman's mine. Never had the chutzpah to actually search for it and I hate the desert. Not looking to sell it, just put the info into someone's use.

I would love an analysis of what duties and powers the remaining European Royals have. What can Queen Margarit do that Queen Elizabeth can’t.

Simon, could you guys do one on the Egyptian colony treasure supposedly found by the Smithsonian funded archeologist g.e. Kincaid?? It's a cool story, and not well known. Would be awesome!!

Great video I recently found a guy called finding tugz and seems pretty cool!

Eight centuries? More like eight decades.

The madness of greed drives people to an early grave... :P

Do an episode on the Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple.

A little known treasure of sorts exist somewhere near the site of the Battle of the Little Bighorn.The story is after the 7th Calvary was defeated by the Cheyenne and Sioux warriors the bodies of the soldiers and the wagons were looted and the valuables(quite substantial by documents found)were spirited away to be hidden in a nearby cave and eventually was forgotten after the last surviving witnesses passed away until stories emerged decades later of its existence.To this day it has not been found!

Solid! Top KEK!

0:54 "objected"? WTH does that mean?

Simon, is there any part of Idaho that isn't 'remote'...?

The Superstack in Sudbury, Ontario

Good video 👍

If laws are such that finding treasure means it all goes to the original insurer or land owner, then maybe these stashes were found long ago, the gold quietly melted down out of view of prying eyes who may want to take the whole cut.

Is there 25twin brother? Every channel on my feed is Simon doing another channel!

Another good "legendary" treasure of the US is the treasure of Neah-Kah-Nie mountain. 1800's sailing and Indian history. Even large enough in attention that an indie movie was produced based on it.

you should do a video about the Oak Island treasure

Born and raised in Idaho and never knew anything about this, to hell with this cowboy life gonna go find me some gold! Love your channels and videos Simon keep it up brotha 🤙🏼

Yamashita Treasure next, please.

Actually, all they need is a forge hot enough to melt gold, some black sand and a bucket of water. Bars melted lose their serial number.

I was surprised you didn’t mention “the secret” in this video there are still several treasures from that book that haven’t been found. Although I’m hoping to be part of that tale soon enough

Seriously. Have a thumbs up just for remembering which channel you're doing, man! 😉😂

The Superstitions, my back yard! And what a yard it is!!!

One thing I would think, if it was found especially on private property, only the portion that was paid out by the insurance company should be confiscated and the rest left to the owner of the property.

I just love how the federal govt makes all these laws and tell us looking for it is bad, tells us we can't keep it, etc. Yet, they love to bust in, take it when ppl find it, and sure do love to keep the sh*t for their f'n stuff.

At 7:08 - "Nearly 8 CENTURIES before, in the summer of 1931...". Umm...what?

I bet he spilled but the sheriff wanted him to sound tuff.

Conspiracy theory alert: Duh, the US owns the Dutchman's mine 🤣😜
