Mysteries of the Superstition Mountains with Wayne Tuttle

The Wild West is not only a time period in American history that I personally find fascinating but it’s also a region of the world ha that calls to me. There’s just something about the craggy mountains; remote canyons; dry, desert, landscape and lmysterious history that truly pulls me in. And I’m not the only one, which is why countless TV shows, movies and radio plays were set in the wild west. And it’s this romanticize idea of the west, mainly the real life  lore and legends coming out of the south west that really grabbed my attention. 

     Now I live in the North East. It’s one of the oldest parts of the country when ones speaking about European settlement; you have the original Mayflower Pilgrims at Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620 and even the Vikings who found their way to North America around 1000 ad but the great legends and myths of the North East have all been solved, for the most part. 

     But with the west it’s equally as old if not older and being a new englander, I tend to forget that the English weren’t the only explorers to wonder the uncharted regions of the New World as the Spanish had already nearly conquered it! 

     So yeah, while civilization may have tamed the west in the early 1900’s her spirit has certainly never died as some of the US’s greatest myths and legends are still investigated today, keeping her wild. 

     We’re talking Legends like Butch Cassidy and the Sun Dance kid and whether they survived their encounter with the law in Bolivia. 

    Jessie James and the Younger Gang and the and their buried loot. Plus if we’re gunna talk about Jessie James we gotta talk about the Knights of the Golden Circle and where the missing Confederate Gold is. 

    Then there’s the wilder legends like Kincaid’s Cave in the Grand Canyon; Doc Martin and the Victorio peak treasure; The Aurora Texas UFO crash; the one about the civil war general in the steampunk wheelchair who drives a giant metal spider; and of course the Lost Dutchman Mine, which we’ll be talking about tonight.

    In fact, we’ll be talking with Wayne Tuttle, life long Dutch hunter and team leader of the 2015 history channel show ‘Legend of the Superstition Mountains’. 

    Wayne has been exploring the superstition mountains since he was a small boy and has become one of the few  go to men for all who want to join the hunt.  He possesses decades upon decades worth of Dutchman knowledge and while he’s a strict skeptic, he’s experienced several unexplainable events; one of which is one of the best I’ve heard from a skeptical treasure hunting old timer….

*Join the patreon to hear our full interview!in the full interview Wayne talks about his experience filming ‘Legends of the Superstition Mountains’ as well as a very interesting story about a mysterious underground structure treasure hunters have been digging out since at least the 1960’s. Wayne even rediscovered an interesting object that was originally found buried in the sand and then lost and it turns out this object may be haunted!
