- Frank and Wayne decide that the right call is to continue the search by gathering samples in the Fish Creek area.
The Superstition Mountains are located in Apache Junction, Arizona. Within the wilderness, the Lost Dutchman Mine has remained hidden, with up to $200 million in gold. Wayne Tuttle, Frank Augustine, Woody Wampler, Eric Deleel, and Eric Magnuson set out into the Superstition Mountains on History Channel’s Legend of the Superstition Mountains to search for the infamous gold mine in 2015. Growing restless waiting for a second season, Wayne and Frank decided to continue their search in the Superstition Mountains on TH-cam, filming videos of their treks into the mountains. The team now engages in treasure hunting and gold prospecting in the Superstition Mountains, searching for Ted DeGrazia’s lost paintings and investigating strange stories and mysteries of the Superstition Mountains.

I started watching the show 2 days ago already finished the first season. In my opinion, self editing and production on TH-cam makes this down to earth and truthful.
Seth Eisenbeis thank you very much
I agree 100%
❤ I'm new here! But enjoying your channel so far... the more raw the better.. but anyways thanks for your content x
This show ended with the greatest cliff hanger in the history of television. The fact that it was discontinued is a tragedy.
They just forgot to start filming. It was a weird thing. 2 million viewers and then nothing.
I’ve been dying for season 2. Thanks for doing this. I’m gonna watch everything you put out.
Thank you.
I know I'm late but I'm glad that there is a continuation in the REAL way. I'm glad there was clarification on what History producers wanted in comparison to what we, the audience as well as you guys, wanted. I hope you guys are doing well in this time!
I for one, am super stoked to see you guys, staying on the hunt! I was was deeply drawn into the televised episode and frankly, it was because of you guys and not any fancy production company. Keep on trucking and doing your "Reality" style production. For the past few months, I learned I'll never be hiking again, because of a disc issue in my back. At only 55 years of age, I've found myself sitting an awful lot, in front of my youtube. Most television sucks, but I am committed to watching others, do the things I dream of doing. 40 years of land surveying and hiking, as closed a book in my journey, but whatever you guys are filming, I'll be right along with you! Never give up or allow others, to steal your chase!!!
Mike Whittington we will keep going until we can’t. It’s an adventure we never want to end. Thank you
I was talking to my friend and I told him what kind of stuff I like to watch and like I just said he sent me the link. I'm born and raised for awhile and moved back to Tucson AZ. I just read about your channel and I know that area of Fish Creek area and Apache junction the story of the old lost Duluth mine. I've seen several men over the years out there with old fire trucks blowing the water on the mountainsides. Wish you the best look back in the early 70's the young man who cut across the desert daily to school and home and found a 20 lb gold rock just laying on the ground. He noticed that he would always kick the top of the shinny rock and finally decided to dig it up. I've seen several friends lose every once the fever sets in. I've done a little paning after the monsoons. Just a weekend hobby and I did find some, but it's for a man with deep pockets if your wanting to invest it's a gamble for sure. Personally I'd be quiet and do your thing for your dam sure giving up the ❌ spot.
So happy to find you guys continued on your own ,I don’t understand how they didn’t make another season,but never give up guys . Love the journey and will keep watching
Thank you
I was trying to watch episode fro. HISTORY Channel and they put some in private. I didj t know about some stuff like they found like what medicine wheel.
Yesterday I was introduced into the show & watched the entirety of season 1. Today, I watched the first episode of season 2. I have to say, I think it's awesome that you are continueing the show even if History cut you off. Thank you for keeping it going!
JEBEDIAH KERMAN it was kind of a stalemate and we just figured if we are going out, why not film it? Thanks for watching.
@@legendofthesuperstitionmou969
Makes sense!
I really did enjoy the show on the History channel and things did feel rushed, you couldn't stick around in a place for too long before the crew moved you somewhere else. I'm really glad that you guys have chosen to do this on your own with little to no restrictions! I watched the whole first season yesterday and I did like it! This kind of thing has always interested me since I was a little kid, and you guys are a rare breed of cool. I hope you guys continue to run this series for as long as you possibly can. I would love to go to Arizona some day just to visit the trails and just be embraced by an experience.
Nednarb 1986 thank you very much for watching. Yes , they did run us around a bit too quick
@@legendofthesuperstitionmou969 You are very welcome! Yeah, and that's really too bad that you guys were rushed so much. I'm just glad you can take your time now :)
The Histry channel just wont to tell lies just like what we all were tought in school. Any comes close to the truth there not haven it. I'm glad yhal doing it anyway. Way to go bros.
Thank you
I just finished season 1 and I have to say; the raw and truthful taping of what occurs with you guys out there, has got to be some of the best filming of Treasure Hunting I've ever seen. Well done guys, by keeping it real. I believe you are re-enforcing a new generation of Treasure hunting and the interest in those mysterious mountains.
Thank you very much
Presently laid up from a broken hip after a bike wreck, I am stoked to have come across this series as I am a a keen adventurer and a huge fan of the Superstition Wilderness Area. I live in Tucson and am not able to travel by car as I would like so I enjoy these kinds of adventures vicariously through TH-cam and other sources. My last trip anywhere significant was to the Chiricahua Mountains a couple years ago. After I am healed of my current ailment, I intend to return to remote mountain bike trekking like I have not done in years. Thanks to History, TH-cam, and the creators of this series for keeping me focused on the good things in life, especially the great things of Arizona outdoor adventure. Good luck and God speed to all you adventure hungry men and women everywhere...
Heal quickly and completely
Hafta say it! After watching many episodes, I say thanks for letting me in on your adventures!
Richard Bowers no problem
Nothing worthwhile comes easy these days. Don't give up. I'll be rooting for ya!
Orville Hed give up is not in our vocabulary
Wayne, I hope you can continue to do this. Stay with TH-cam and keep them coming.
Dewey we are planning on it.
I am hooked! I've been keeping up with the Lost Dutchman for over 5 years. Not as long as a lot of people, but it's something I can't let go. Love watching you all. Good luck!
Thank you very much
I'm glad to see the search went farther on.
I was hooked on the show , so I'm happy I found this.
HaXaW thanks for watching. Enjoy!
Nice show boys , glad I found this on here Thumbs up from me !
Thank you
I love these videos. I am so drawn to these mountains. I’m scared of going for sure so I love y’all for doing it!
As a newbie to East Mesa, AZ with the Superstitions so close to home, it's been fun to have stumbled upon the series observing the familiar scenery. I too am glad to have stumbled upon the YT videos to continue the interesting saga! Good luck to you guys.
Thank you. Enjoy the mountains
Good example of never giving up! I commend ya'll for carrying on. You definitely have a lot of people behind you guys! Love watching the adventure ,wish I could take off and do the same thing. Carry on!
I think the big producers got u guys tbh. I wouldnt mess with them again.
I mean seriously... Somebody went back to all the places u went through and destroyed the medicine wheel, cleaned up that bed rock where the nugget was found and took that jesuit cross in that cave.. 🤔
Just found this,not sure what you guys are looking for ,but if you're looking for the Dutchman,it was located years ago.Chuck Kenworthy found it.He has pictures of the big mine and the signs around it.He found the storehouse with all the Peralta and Gonzalez's gold in it.A friend saw a piece of that gold and it was as big as a football.There was 6 or 8 mines including the big funnel or Dutchman mine.Several of the mines are on Indian reservations.
All this took place about twenty years ago.I knew Chuck,talked with him many times over about a seven year period.
I think the Discovery Channel production was the gold mine.
It was History channel.
Love it! Screw big production. Now a days Go fund Me and TH-cam is the way
The quality of TH-cam productions is most of the time much better than what the big companies produce. It seems to vibe much more with the people.
More interesting and less political undertones
Yep, plus many comments I've seen on those videos of season 1 says it was faked but they can't say this is faked. Plus its pretty educational later on with Woody the equivalent of a master martial artist of prospecting, and how they do talk about a bit of the past with stories related to the Lost Dutchmans Mine.
Fish Creek area, eh? Yea, been out there a thousand times, why don't you show the big parking lot with restrooms ten feet behind you? By the way, the Lost Dutchman Gold Mine is probably underwater, Mormon Dam was completed in 1925 and created four lakes in the Superstitions. Bring your scuba gear for a 100'+ dive.
J H we did a short bit of filming on Fish creek hill once for B roll. That was for an over view of the area we have been in. Otherwise no parking lots or rest rooms.
Can't wait for the next instalment! Been waiting forever for the follow up! Thanks guys, you rock!
Glad to see you guys back at it! Bring on the next episode!
I really enjoy all the ghost stories and lost treasures to be discovered
You fell for the oldest trick in the booksomeone on the film crew let you do all the hard work and then when you went back home and got in the bottle they went back out there and got in the gold
I just find your channel. And I love it.
To be honest you guys were really close, I hope you guys find it. Good luck 👍
Thank you
@@legendofthesuperstitionmou969
Please stay together has a group and keep posting them videos.
See what happens!!!!
Thanks guys ! Loved the first of many episodes to come !!! Really love the laid back atmosphere that y 'all have !!
Can't hardly wait to see more episodes !!!
Phillip S. English it's amazing how chill you can be without production getting in your head.
Really sad to hear about the production issues but I'm glad you guys are taking it forward regardless. Loved the show then, I'm loving it now.
❤Frank🤩you are my STAR!
By the way...I enjoy every episode ,Its great to watch the landscape,the myths and the guys in action🙃
Regards from Austria.
It’s really peaceful and serene, as well as beautiful.
Thanks for making these Season 2 episodes. I recently ran across your Season 1 show on the History Channel, and was bummed that they didn't pick you up for a 2nd season. Great work guys! I will be watching all of your videos!
Thank you very much
I’m glad to see you guys went ahead & decided to produce your own season 2 etc...
This is a fascinating area with a lot of history.
I live in Butte County California, near the site where a 54lb solid gold nugget was found. There is a river nearby where it’s actually legal to pan for gold. My area was burned badly in 2018 Camp Fire. Lotsa history & tragedy here too...
PS: Frank 😩
Thank you and it is
Yea it would be cool to explore like y'all are doing .... I would try it if given the opportunity.... But I believe the cross was put into a wall hiding the treasurer.... But anyway keep up the good work I'm definitely interested in the quest y'all have at hand... Good luck and God speed...
Rdub Walton thank you
For all you guys know it was one of the guys from the production crew that clean those places out
They weren’t that smart.
good to see you guys back out there again. looking forward to more shows.
stay safe and best of luck.
ron
In this episode Frank wrestles with Eric's complicated last name. 😂😂😂🤷♂️
2 Years Was Way too long! Glad you're back and hope you have an exciting year, can't wait to see it
Great job guys! Can't wait for the next one!!!
Cool show.
Ogres have layers and Onions have layers Frank! Shrek never said rocks had layers 😆
Lol
My belief is that the curse of the Superstition Mountains is one of greed. Gold is not the treasure you are looking for. The treasure lies within. And if there is gold in those mountains... leave it for the thunder gods.
Pretty good take on things!
just finished watching season 1 happy to see you guys continued im a huge history buff and loved every minute i will be letting everyone i know to check you guys out!
damn right it was a good show, glad to see there is more to the saga, we re-watched season 1 and are super stoked to start season 2, you guy ROCK!!
Great episode! I am excited for the next one!
Sorry you guys had such a hard way. So glad you are back

Here's 2 theories. 1 the mine is now under water. 2 the signs that waltz found were so minimal he removed all of it by mining. When he covered it up no more signs of gold just looks like everything else. Almost 130 years later literary could be under a tree now you would never think to look.
That’s very possible
Whoever took that cross I hope it brings you nothing but misfortune. Not because it might lead to the gold, but because regardless of if it is a sign leading to the gold or not its both a historical and incredible find that even though they didn't find the gold to the lost mine they found something that is a treasure of sorts.
To the team I will say you might not have found the gold that day but what you did find a amazing treasure of sorts and thats something to be proud of. Along with everything else you've found that piece that was used to hold lanterns and candles in mines, that booby-trapped mine, the few veins of ore you did find, and later on in this series that old coin. I'd say in the journey to find the lost mine your finding alot of other treasures along the way. Who knows all these clues might be leading you to the final destination your seeking.
Hi Wayne
I have just watched season one here in the UK and was searching for season 2 when I found your TH-cam channel, I have done alot of urban exploring myself here in the UK and really love the history behind this exploration and how you appreciate it .
I am slowly working my way through all your videos as fast as I can but was wondering if the history channel ever did get back in touch with you guys ? It is so sad that some idiots have destroyed this location out of pure greed :(
Reading some of the comments some have mentioned the video crew and sound crew may have done this but I wouldn't trust anyone one even the people close to me, all I will say is what done is done and move on.
I am so glad you decided to return without the production company ect and love the fact it is just raw footage because as we all know these film companies just want to dramatize shit for a tv audience.
I will carry on working my way through your videos and hope that doesn't change btw have you ever thought of getting that poor lad carrying the kit some help ? just an idea but I am sure you could have asked or run a competition and picked one or two people to help and they pay there own expenses, i bet loads would take that up.
I did beyond oak island for history and some other stuff, but prefer what we do now. I got the other brother to help eventually. We just wanted to keep it simple. Thanks for watching and enjoy.
why am i just seeing this? this is quality entertainment.
Thank you very much
Glad to see y'all back. I wish you success and health. :)
JUST LIKE OPAL MINING IN NO. NEVADA!!!
Welcome Back!!!!
If you guys want help simply exploring and investigating any areas, let me know. Ive been going out every weekend and just looking for signs of old camps, markings, etc. in general.
Will keep it in mind
I just found your channel this weekend. Keep it rolling. Love it .
Thank you for watching and enjoy
You gang of Men are the legends of the mountains GREAT Your keeping the dream alive I reckon the production crew had some hand in that Cross Looting. And they sure set that hand print /rock pile up imho keep up the great Work ya gang fecking legends..
I am a huge fan of your show. I have been in love with this mountain since I was 8 years old. There is a lot of mythology grown up around this place, I suppose that’s why it’s called Superstition Mountain. I’d love to have a tête-à-tête with the crew and share some of my own thoughts and perspective...besides, adding a female to your brood ain’t a bad idea if you ask me! But seriously, great job guys, I love your show and I look forward to many more seasons to come. Regards, Mell
Looks like ladies aren't their cup of tea.
I want you guys to go back and search that place ...go for it.
Awesome guys ... love it!!!
Dinger Alan a
I’ve only just seen the first episode of the production company’s show. I much prefer your own production, way less cheesy. I know Peralta Trail and Fish Creek Canyon pretty well. How fun to watch all this happening on an old stomping ground.
Thank you very much. We actually enjoy what we are doing so much more.
Worth the wait ,Many thanks guys
There was a movie about 3 guys that rob a Wells Fargo truck filled with gold they hid it in a cave and they went to jail when they got out they went back to the cave in the 1950 when they came out the other end and had to carry the gold through the desert all died except one and close to death a car came by and he beg them for water he said you can have all the gold for water and they told him to keep it they found a way to make gold in a lab and gold was worthless. He went in a time tunnel at the other end of the cave he was a100 years in the future.
So glad to still be able to follow you guys!!!
flutefanatic221 come along for the ride, there's plenty of room
Yeah gang bang desert roadside
Im in 🙋🏻♂️
I Love how between the 19 and 20-minute mark he tosses a lit cigar down on the desert floor
Bill Kettler he never lights them..... he chews them. Yes it’s gross
Pack it in Pack it out no one wants to see the floor trashed with litter@@legendofthesuperstitionmou969
After careful review I never see what you are talking about.
imagine the Sand fire he could cause !!
You guys need some one with lots of money that interested in finding the lost Dutch man’s mine and doesn’t care about money just the legend and put the mystery to rest.
Send that guy over.
There's GOLD in them thar hills!!!
Not sure which episode it was. But, when the younger guy went checking out a cave, I guess found black hand prints . When all of you were standing around . On the wall behind you appeared to be dug in crosses.
Dane Chill we were across the canyon from him. I don’t remember a wall of any sort by us
I support y'all 100 percent on your journey, and wish i could be searching right along side you. I live in Lawton, Oklahoma. I live about 15 miles from The Wichita Mountain National Wildlife Refuge, and i been doing what yall been doing off and on for 35 years, but where i live, it is government own, and we have restrictions that limit certain activities, so I have to be careful and tread lightly when i do things out there, nust to keep it legal!!!!!
Steve Gatliff thank you for all the support
We really miss the show!! Thanks for this!!
No problem, thank you for taking the time to watch.
I like this version way better than the fake ass History Channel version. The H.C. try to manufacture drama into shows where it isnt needed at all.
This is what we fought for, but History had the editing rights.
No wonder you guys weren't called back for a second season. The production crew were too busy looting the locations you painstakingly took the time to research and uncover. How enraging.
All I'm going to say is I don't believe there's a curse however I do believe that the American government doesn't want you to find that gold the fact that you had an Apache helicopter circling during your first season shows that the government's involved in some way shape or form the Apache while not strictly military is predominantly American military just saying guys watch your backs them some dangerous mountains
I know you guys are the real thing. Your treasure hunters
Brill work Guys ................. TOP TOP JOB !!!
Keith Jennison thank you very much!
Awesome
Good Job.
Loved the show, waiting for the owt come
fake walls if thick enough don't sound hallow! I can check it myself!
Good show, detail and panorama is super.
Wow I loved that medicine wheel
Indeed ,wonder how old it is.
Sounds like the next episode will be somewhere else I am very familiar with.
Old trails bordered with stones, and other interesting stuff.
Couldn't get to it last spring. The road was closed to anyone without authorization.
With barriers and a sign.
I like that music
Thank you
Good luck have to do it yourselves with time* cheers
according to another story of the Aztecs. The Curse of Montezuma's Gold the clay tablets with the horse ect. are maps of Montezuma's gold he buried in Utah close to Kabab think it was spelled check it out.
The guy that got upset you brought that kid to meet him is most likely the person messing all this up. He started them on this path ...watch the episode. I think it's him.
Schoose? You think Bobs like the villain behind the curtain?
I watched the show, it was interesting as the Dutch mine has always fascinated me, best of luck with your future, if it Aires again I will watch ⌚
Thank you very much
Love quartz
I liked the first season a lot, but the editing wasn’t very good. The dialogue came across as scripted and “fake” a lot of the time. I like this self-produced season. People sound “normal” when they talk...more realistic. I hope the guys find something big!
J Smith the problem with the other is multiple takes of something that really happens doesn’t work in our opinion. If the qualities bad but it’s in the moment is far better
It was scripted and fake.
I agree, it sounds scripted. The natural flow Isn't there. But I'm going to start over and watch it in chronological order. Either way, I enjoy watching the History Channel.
Liked season one
This is even better
Thank you, we are trying something very different from everyone else.
A crevice in the rock,,becomes a
Whole,,a hole becomes a crevice
finally.... YES!!! \m/, :D
History Channel Exec's used you as go-fores. They sent there own team and got the gold.
Sean Kennedy history channel is owned by A&E networks. It’s a logo. Nothing more. We were signed by A&E. Regardless of all that, the only gold they got was what we gifted them.
I REALLY loved you guys on the History Channel. I agree with you guys I think it's a good idea to just move on and film your own show the way you want to do it. Sadly it's pretty obvious people would figure out the location of the cross and take it as well as pick at other places. I'm just really happy to see you've continued the quest for gold!
Thank you
@@legendofthesuperstitionmou969 No problem!!
i want the show back on the air too
It sounds like it is someone in the production and sound crew.
In the Bat cave you guys needed to take a metal detector up there! For that matter.. I know hind sight is 20-20, but atleast for future expeditions, each and every member or atleast more than one person should be verse in use and have metal detectors!!!
I was gutted they didn't go back to the bat cave since it seemed like a big find.
