Legend of the Superstition Mountains (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - The Mark of the X - full transcript

- I know these mountains are cursed.

The strangest things
happen in the mountains.

- Wayne Tuttle's lifelong quest
to find the Lost Dutchman Mine

has led him and his
team of treasure hunters

deep into the foreboding
Superstition Mountains.

Legend says that a gold
mine worth $200 million

is hidden somewhere in these vast canyons.

But the lost fortune is
protected by a deadly curse.

Most men who seek it never
leave the mountains alive.

A cursed mountain...

hiding $200 million in gold.



250 lives have been lost.

But now, five treasure hunters...

will defy the curse...

in search of...

America's deadliest treasure.

- We've been following a
recently discovered map.

So far, the map has been pretty accurate

and the markers have lined up perfectly.

- Following this map, every single mark

on that map, there was something there.

Waterfalls, buttes, treasure symbols...

Where does this all lead?

We find ( bleep ) big heart with an X in it

exactly where it's indicated on that map.



I told you... I told you I'd get you here.

We're right on, guys.

We got it!

We got it, we got it!

Wow, look at that.

- Nice going, Frank.

- Look at the heart. You see the X in it?

We're on target, guys, we're on target.

This is major. This heart
means a mine nearby.

We followed the Peralta Stone Maps.

We're at the heart.

The heart stone tells
us we are at the mine.

- Frank's pretty excited about it.

You have to give him credit.

He said there would
be a heart-shaped stone.

We did find one.

Fantastic!

- Ex-detective Frank Augustine

recently revealed a new
clue that could finally solve

a 125-year-old mystery.

A lost map that led the team
here into uncharted territory,

previously unexplored by Dutch hunters.

Could this X mark the spot
of the Dutchman's fortune?

- Back in the mid-1800s,

a man named Jacob Waltz,
known as the Dutchman,

found what most people
believe to be an untapped mine

somewhere in the Superstition Mountains.

The mine has been said to
hold around $200 million in gold.

People have been looking
for the location of these riches

for over 150 years with no luck.

But we have learned some things over time.

- A lot of Dutch hunters believe
that the Lost Dutchman Mine

was an old Peralta mine.

- The Peralta family left behind maps

charting the locations of their mines.

But they drew them with cryptic symbols...

and the only ones who had the key

to decode them were other Peraltas.

That's why Frank's new
map is so interesting.

- I had the Peralta Tesoro map.

- Frank's Tesoro map led the team here,

but it still holds a puzzle to be solved.

- That is why my map is important

because it is one of those Peralta maps.

- It's time to get to
work so let's get to it

right now, all right?
- All right, let's do it.

- All right. - Okay.

- Can you toss me my pick-axe?

- That was... nice catch.

- Eric? - Yeah.

- A little work this way over to my left.

- Yeah, will do, man.

I am excited to finally be on a spot

where I can break my machines out

and do what I do and
hopefully find something.

I'm really looking forward to today.

I'm gonna cover the ground really well.

Maybe even grid it out to make sure

I'm covering every
square inch of this ground

so that I'm not gonna
miss one piece of evidence.

Because if there's something here,

I can find it and I will find it.

- Eric, with all the technology,
that could be a lot of help.

But I don't use all of that technology.

I've been prospecting for many years.

I'm old school.

I use dowsing rods.

Dowsing rods work within you.

I feel that most of the mines
up here in the mountains

were found with dowsing rods.

I don't think anybody
just went and dug a hole

because it looked like a place to dig.

- Now that we're here and I
can see the X clearly in the rock,

a couple things come to mind.

Is it possible that this is
just a natural occurrence,

natural weathering in the rock?

The other possibility
is that this is manmade.

- If this is manmade, this
could be something significant

'cause why would you just stop and do that?

It's telling us a group came through

and took the time and effort

to mark something on their travel through.

- Hey, Frank.

My rock hammer fits right into this X,

which tells me that it
was carved by someone.

- We are exactly where
we're supposed to be.

This is why all these years

no one's found the
solution to these stone maps

because they didn't have this.

- Does the large heart on the map

represent the heart
stone they've discovered?

Does the heart mark
the location of the mine?

On maps of Spanish origin,

a heart symbol often
indicates there's gold nearby.

But the X is the most common symbol

used to mark something of value.

While its origins are debated,

the X appears on treasure maps

dating back hundreds of years.

Why does the Tesoro map
feature both a heart and an X?

- Everyone knows that X
marks a waypoint on any map.

And this map has a heart and an X.

That's telling us something.

It means we need to explore
this area for more clues.

- I was definitely skeptical at first.

I'm still a bit skeptical, but...

we're definitely finding cool things

and if that map is real
and truly from 1847,

like it says on the map,

then we could be onto something.

- Here's another cavity on
the other side of this bush.

Gonna take a look in there, okay.

- What do you think, Wayne?

- See it? - Yeah.

- Well, this is a good place for a stash.

- The Lost Dutchman Mine
is spoken of as a pit mine,

a funnel-shaped pit mine on a slope

that slopes into the side of the mountain.

Now, a pit mine isn't
like those mines we see

in the Western movies.

It isn't a timber tunnel with rails

with ore carts running through it.

A pit mine is basically
a hole in the ground.

It's a cave or a dugout
that could be under a rock.

Like this heart stone.

That's why looking for a mine

like the Lost Dutchman in
the Superstition Mountains

is like looking for a tiny
needle in a giant haystack.

- I... I'm just hoping Eric,
uh, confirms something

and finds something for us.

We're counting on you, Eric.

This is your chance. All
right? This is your chance

to prove Eric's the man.

- Somebody got a pick? - Yeah, I got one.

- Bring a pick up so we can
clear some of this other debris.

Oh, scorpions!

- Plural? - Yeah.

Just watch... watch your feet.

Make sure nothing climbs
up your pant leg, okay?

- Sounds good. - Guys!

You're looking for anywhere
hollowed, any cavity,

any place that looks like
they've been digging before.

- The ground is definitely loose here

at the base of this heart stone.

That's a perfect cache hole
where you can hide your stuff.

When you pile dirt
up against it to cover it,

some of this stuff piled up back in here,

it's not compacted. That's
one of the things you look for.

You look for something
that's a different color.

I mean, there's a reason
why a different colored dirt

in... in a spot or loose dirt.

It's freshly dug. I mean, there
could be something under it.

- What do you think of the geology of this?

- Well, it's pretty interesting.

The whole thing's ringed with quartz.

Um, I don't know. It's a really brittle...

Kind of like a brittle
bedrock granite, you know?

I'm looking for gold in the quartz,

but all I found is pyrite and iron.

- Gold is one of the
rarest elements on earth.

It often binds to minerals like quartz

deep within the earth's crust.

Prospectors know that
finding a deposit of quartz

is a sign that there's
likely to be gold in the area.

- As far as mineralization
in these rocks goes,

it's not looking promising.

Uh, I mean, there's some quartz.

Definitely some heavy iron
and stuff like that included,

but, uh, I don't see anything.

- Even though I have a
lot of high-tech equipment,

when it comes down to it,

it's a lot of hiking, a lot of digging.

This is just backbreaking work.

- Hey, guys!

Guys, guys!

- What's up, Frank? - We got another X.

- What? - Look up here.

- Where am I looking?
- See that big boulder

just sitting like it rolled down?

- Yeah. - Look on the front of it.

What do you see?

- There's a white X on the front.

Look. Look up there.

There could be something up there.

- I mean, it is faded.

- We're near the heart

and now we got a
boulder with a huge X on it.

That's major.

I walked up behind the actual stone heart.

And I looked off to the north

and I see this huge, gigantic
boulder has an X on it.

- The white X on the rock?

- Definitely worth checking out.
- Yeah, it is.

- Here you go, Wayne. - Thank you.

- Off in the distance,
we have this big boulder

just sitting there. It's so obvious.

It's got an X on the front of it.

- It's not a heart stone.

- No. - It's an X.

I looked up on the mountainside behind us

and looks like there might be another X.

So if we have two Xs, we
need to search this area

because the Lost Dutchman
Mine could be in this section.

- Could be X marks the spot.
- Frank, you look at it.

- From this distance, it looks like an X.

- It's just the composition
of the rock, Frank.

- Yeah, I want to go up
there and look at it just in case.

- I think it's a waste of time.

It looks like it's just the mineralization

of the rock. There's nothing that shows me

any wear and tear that
it would be an actual X.

- It could be a marker for the trail

because we have an X on here

and from a distance you see something

that looks like an X.

- It's really tough 'cause you got Frank

now going off on his tangents.

He needs to settle down
'cause the other guys

with the lack of knowledge
of that sort of thing,

mine symbols and this and
that, they're gonna read into that.

Then you're gonna have four guys around me

seeing stuff in the
rocks, seeing stuff in the...

And they'll be all splitting
off different directions.

I guarantee you from what I'm seeing,

it's the mineralization of the rock.

There's nothing manmade about it.

- I would like to look
at it just for the hell of it.

Because keep in mind, you'll see things...

There are people who follow shadow signs.

- But that's a stone map thing.

Everybody sees something in something.

- That's right.
- And we could work all day...

- But we're at the stone heart.

- Wayne and Frank do get into it,

but it usually gets resolved pretty quick.

- I'm going. - If you want to go,

you take Deleel with you. Take the Deal.

We'll continue working over here

where we actually have something to do.

- All right.
- When I spot things like that,

it always turns out to be something.

And I don't give a ( bleep )

if Wayne doesn't believe in it.

( hissing )

- What a ( bleep ) wild
goose chase this is.

- Look all around the
stone when you get up there.

And quit your bitching.
That's what you're here for.

- Frank says "Deal, you're coming with me.

Let's go take a hike."

And at the last minute, he
bails and sends me up there.

- Keep going, Deal. - Yeah.

I knew from the get-go
that this was gonna entail

a lot of hard work and I
knew I'd be the gopher.

But if you say you're gonna come with me

and, "Let's go check this thing out."

You might want to come with me.

- Watch for snakes. - Thanks.

Thank you very much.
You're a big help, Frank.

- ( Frank laughs )

( "Deal" grunts )

- Go up that left side.

How's it look?

- Looks like nothing. - Look... all around.

Look at that... look at
those cliffs behind there.

- I'm looking. - See where that opening is?

Where that cactus is, that barrel cactus...

- There's a ledge here.
There's a rock there.

- It doesn't look like an X. - All right.

- As far as this stone
goes, Frank, it's a false lead.

- All right. Head back.

Hurry up, it's hot standing here.

- Don't fall. - Thank you, Frank.

( sighs heavily )

- Hey, Wayne, I'm just
keeping an eye for more snakes.

- Yeah, they're gonna be coming out.

They're gonna be popping
through the brush here any time now.

- I keep telling these young guys,

"Watch out for snakes,

watch out for spiders,

watch out for scorpions."

That's why I wear these pants.

They're tight on the bottom,

nothing's getting up my pants.

Something might get in them,
but nothing's getting up them.

( rattling )

- ( gunshot ) - ( bleep ) was that?

- I think Frank found a snake.

- ( rattling ) - ( two gunshots )

- Or three.
- He's one crazy son of a bitch,

you know that?
- I'm gonna take a second and reload.

- You guys are gonna give
me a freaking heart attack.

- Jeez, the only way to really verify

what your metal detector is telling you

is you have to dig it up.

You gotta put it in your hands

and see, okay, this is what it is.

Here is ( bleep ).

- What is it? - It's a shotgun shell.

- Another shell?
- Ass end of a shotgun shell.

- We did a lot of
excavating around the base

'cause that's where we would
think something would be.

We spent pretty much the day here.

Okay, guys. Hey, let's grab our gear up.

Sun's gonna be going down.
We want to get a fire going,

kind of settle in. We're right here.

We can come back to it first
thing in the morning, all right?

- I can throw my headlamp on
and keep hunting, if you want.

- Snakes are gonna be coming out.

And snakes gonna come in behind you

and you're not gonna see
it. So let's set up the camp.

- Sounds good to me.

- All right, come on, let's move it out.

Get down here, set up camp.

( coyotes howling in the distance )

- Hey, guys, check this out.

This FLIR camera registers heat signatures.

When you zoom in on the mountains,

you can actually search for old mines.

If you found anything
where there was an old mine

or an indentation, it would
have a cooler signature.

- Gotcha.

- So this could actually help us.

The purpose of the FLIR
camera is that it gives us

an advantage during the night

that we don't have during the day.

It can see heat signatures

and that's gonna help us

when we're trying to look in dark spaces.

Mines, caves, anything like that.

The other advantage of
it is, we'll be able to see

somebody approaching
our campsite during the night,

whether it's a person, an animal.

- Is the white part a cooler signature?

- Um, the white part
could indicate... or blue.

Uh, red would be hot, obviously, so...

- Let's see if we see anything down there.
- Let's check it out.

- Ever since yesterday,

after Wayne saw a flash up in the mountain,

I have a strong opinion
that we're being followed.

- Hey, Frank. - Huh?

- I saw something kind
of flash down from there

as soon as I sat down.

- Lost Dutchman Mine is the
biggest lost treasure in America

and word gets around.

And I just got a bad feeling
we're gonna have issues

with other people finding
out where we're going.

- That area that we traveled through...

Jacob Waltz traveled through that area.

But down over this hill,

there's a ranch house down there.

And in the 1970s,

there was a ranch hand murdered

at the front door of the house.

They were caught.

They were two nut balls looking
for the Lost Dutchman Mine.

- And that, time and
time again, is the story.

Always have to be aware
who's in the mountains.

- Gruesome murders and the quest for gold

in the Superstition Mountains
have a bloody history

dating back to the time
of Francisco Coronado.

In 1540, the Spanish conquistador

came to the Americas in a futile search

for the fabled Seven Cities of Gold.

Instead, all he found was death

with hundreds of his men
mysteriously slaughtered.

Since the discovery of
the Lost Dutchman's Mine

in the late 1800s,

more than 200 prospectors
have lost their lives

attempting to find gold at the end

of the mine's blood-splattered trail.

- You never know what
will happen on the mountain.

- It's scary to sleep on the same ground

that you know many people have died on.

- Hey, Deal, could you break
out the FLIR and check around.

- Yeah, probably a good idea.

- I'm worried about
somebody sneaking up on us.

- Somebody's out here.

They're not just taking a
walk in the middle of the night.

They're out here looking for something.

They're looking for treasure,
looking for the Lost Dutchman.

So if somebody thinks
you're closer than them,

they might not take that very well.

And who knows what they're capable of.

You know what, Frank,
I'm not seeing anything now.

- Wayne, you know anything
about the Mexican who got killed

at Waltz's doorstep with Waltz's shotgun?

- Frank, hold on. Before you...

So the guys understand...

Back in those days,

Waltz had a sizable piece of land.

So what he'd probably
do is have other people

work different parts.

Not just necessarior him,
but they would lease it.

He was next to what was
known as the Dutch pitch.

( continues, indistinct )

- There's something back up there.

- Is it still there?

- Looks like a figure.

- There's something back up there.

Looks like a figure.

- Hey, look, just... - Hey, sit down, Eric,

'cause you're standing
right in front of the fire.

- I will tell you something,
guys, and understand this.

It's best that someone who's watching you

doesn't know that you know they're there.

But to stand up and make a lot of drama

and let you know they're
there - Well, if they're standing...

- Eric, you don't how many.
You don't know the intention.

They could just be looking
down at the same thing as us,

as a "who's down there at a campfire?"

So now, if they're aware
that we're watching them

and they're watching us,
it changes the entire plan.

- All right. It's your call, man.

- Deal just saw someone up on the ridge

and that's very scary. Like I said,

somebody's watching us all the time.

- Deal, you got the first watch. - Copy.

- The Lost Dutchman, this is a big legend

and we're not the only
ones looking for this.

And we're in the middle of nowhere,

but that doesn't mean somebody

couldn't be following us.

And especially now that we've found

this heart-shaped stone,

we need to be keeping our head on a swivel

and making sure nobody's trying to,

you know, take any
shortcuts and beat us to it.

- Guys, I say you settle in,

get comfortable as you possibly can

and let's call it a night. Sweet dreams.

Get yourselves some rest, all right?

( coyotes howling )

- We're about to start Day 3 out here

in the Superstition Mountains.

We had a couple uneasy nights.

Un, unexpected surprise on the FLIR camera.

I think we possibly saw an
image of a person or a figure.

But we made it through
last night without incident

and I think we're all ready
to get back to business.

- I'm still looking for snakes.

Today, we're gonna, uh,
go back up to the heart.

We're gonna work around it

and we're gonna see if we can't figure out

what this heart stone actually means.

- Take a look in there and
cover this area good, okay?

- Yep. You know, some people believe

that the Dutchman's
gold isn't a mine at all,

that it's a stash.

It's gold he's already removed.

And if that's the case, then every cave,

every nook, every cranny
could be holding that treasure

and it's something we got to look at.

( detector beeping )

I pulled out my mine lab
detector and got right to work.

Immediately, I was
getting targets left and right.

That tells me there's
absolutely been activity up here.

Could be iron, could be
bullets, but it also could be gold.

And if it is, that's a great sign.

It's getting a little
louder, which is good.

You can tell it's dirt if
you turn, like, 90 degrees,

swing over it and it's still
a nice, consistent signal.

So this is getting louder as I go down.

( beeping )

( strong beeping ) There it is.

( beeping ) I think I might see it.

It might be a piece of iron.
Okay. Where's that pick at?

- Right here.

- So here's the other thing I do.

I use the magnet on the
back of the scoop fork.

If it's a little piece of
iron then it's obviously

the same color as the
dirt so you can't see it,

you can just run it over,

it'll slide right out of
your scoop just like that.

- There you go.

- Rub that scoop over that magnet

and if nothing comes out,

then you know it's a non-ferrous target

so it's either going to be silver, gold

or a bullet... lead or something. - Yeah.

- If this was a productive area,

they would've, A, worked more,

and B, they would've camped here.

We'd be finding more cans,

rather than just a few
chunks of iron off of a pick.

- While everybody's up
here going through the brush

and looking at the heart, I was, uh,

trying to do my thing, and, uh,

I look at the side of a mountain.

Something just clicks in my head.

I... I don't know what it is.

It just... it draws me. It's like a magnet.

It told me to come over there
to investigate it, to check it out.

Hey, Deal!

It was just drawing me to it.

- What's up, Woody?

- See. - What am I looking at?

- Doesn't that look like
kinda the same markings

from the heart? See right here?

- I mean, I do see a
depression in the top of the rock.

- It looks like it's been cut. It
doesn't look natural, though.

- It's worth taking a look.

- You know, there's
actually a cave back here,

like a natural depression.

- Uh, you know what?
Stay back and let me look.

- Frank, you got the snake gun so...

- Yeah, it'd probably be a good idea

if you'd get your ass up here.

It's worth investigating.

That's a good spot for
somebody to hide something.

You find a cache of silver bars, coins,

um, an old gold miners' poke,
you know, that he left in there,

buried a bag of nuggets. You never know.

You think it's safe? - It... it looks okay.

- Some of this may have
been done by an animal,

but I'm not gonna be crawling down there

on my belly button.

- Why do you think I brought you?

You're snake bait and I shoot them.

Eric, Wayne, we've got
something going over here!

Get... lay in there. Come
on. Climb in that hole.

- I don't know if I signed on for this.

- If you get stuck, I'll pull you out.

- Did anybody bring a flashlight with them?

- Yeah, I got a headlamp. - Do you?

Toss that baby to me when you get it.

- If you find a cavity, a cave,

you're always wanting to investigate.

You never know what you'll find inside.

I've been in ones that have been used

for smelting, for storage,

for just about anything you can imagine.

Here, there you go.

- I have a FLIR. - Okay.

- Get on back in. - Oh, perfect, I'm going.

- If you see a snake, let us know,

we'll pull you by the boots. - Okay.

- Get in there. Get in there.

Don't worry. We'll pull you out.

- You know what? You guys...

- Just wiggle in there, we'll pull you out.

- ( bleep )

- Just wiggle in there,

we'll pull you out. - Yeah?

Frank is kinda pushing me pretty hard.

As hard on me as he is,

I know that he's just
trying to see if I'll step up,

prove my worth and earn my keep.

And I'm gonna prove
to him that I'm going to.

- Turn that FLIR on. - Yeah.

I mean, I got the FLIR
on, but I don't see anything

with any kind of heat signature back here,

which is probably a good sign.

- Go further. - This thing is really small.

It's really tight. I can
kind of see into it.

It opens up toward the back.

- Can you get to the
point where it opens up?

Are you gonna be able
to pull yourself up in

and turn around? - Yeah,

there are just tons of spiders

and cactus on the ground, though.

- No gain without the pain, dude.

- Okay. ( grunts )

- How's it look, man?
Does it open up at all?

- Um...

there's a lot of animal
droppings and spiders,

but other than that,

I don't see anything of importance to us.

- Come on out, bud. - That would be great.

- Okay. Go this way.

Keep the head down. Watch
the head, watch the head.

You gotta keep going back, back, back.

- All right. - There you go.

- Well, that was fun.
- You got to see something

none of us did. - Well,

I got it all on video so
you can check it out later.

That wasn't very fun.

It was just a really tight enclosed space.

There wasn't much room to move around,

but because the floor was dirt,

we have the possible theory

that somebody could've
buried something there

and that's kinda what we
wanted to get to the bottom of.

- I think maybe something's hidden here.

Maybe it's not a cave where
they got all the gold out.

But it've been a perfect place for a stash.

Perfect place for a Peralta or the Dutchman
or anybody to hide a bunch of gold.

- If you're gonna hide
something, you're not

gonna lay it on top.
You're gonna put it down

where people aren't
gonna accidently find it.

The Lost Dutchman Mine's not gonna be

laying on the surface.
It's gonna be buried.

I've got great instinct for these things.

And I don't pass a site up like that.

- ( sighs ) All right, guys.

Let's wrap this all up.
We need to document this.

Get photographs, get the GPS coordinates,

back it up and we're gonna
get outta here, all right?

- I'm not happy.

- Now, Wayne has been looking for
the Lost Dutchman Mine for half his life.

And now I know why he didn't find it.

You find a site that has great potential

and you walk away from it.

- We're not giving up.

Frank's map took us to an area

that no one would've known to look before.

We found clues here that
are worth a deeper look.

But for now, we need to get
back and do more research

of where we're moving forward.

We need to test these ore samples.

The group needs to rest up.

We got a lot of research to do.

The X on the heart stone is a waypoint.

We need to find out where that's heading.

- You know, we actually
did find something here.

We found this heart stone.

It all seemed to match up to the map.

This is a big deal.

Regardless if we find gold or some stash,

we've already found something.

- Let's wrap it up. Let's get outta here!

- Okay. I know we're in a hurry, Wayne,

but at some point in time,

we definitely need to
come back to this site.

- The trail is somewhere
else. This is a way marker

for a trail. This is not a place for us

to waste another day. - Let's go.

- We followed Frank's map
as far as it would take us.

All the landmarks are where they should be.

But we're at the heart stone

and the heart stone is not a mine.

But the map and the heart stone

are definitely trying to tell us something.

Now we have to figure out what.

I don't think this is the end of the trail.

( rattling )

- You all right, Woody? - ( Woody sighs )

- Woody, you okay? - Yeah.

- All right. You gotta
keep up a little bit better.

Pace yourself. - Whoo.

- They're coming.
- I'm gonna take a minute.

- He doesn't look too good.

- Ever since I left the heart stone,

I've been feeling poorly

and I can't help think

that it has something
to do with being there.

I'm gonna take five.

- You all right? - Yeah.

- You okay. - I don't know,

maybe it's because I spotted the hole

and now the spirits are attacking me.

- Are you all right? - Yeah.

- Okay? Take your time.

Hey, Wayne, hold up a minute!

- ( Woody sighs ) - Want some water?

- Kinda dizzy a little bit. - Huh?

- Just a little dizzy.
Like I want to fall down.

- You know, Woody went down to his knees.

I'm extremely worried about him.

Uh, he's my best friend. He's my partner.

I'm gonna see him through
this. I'm gonna stick with him.

And between the two of
us, we're gonna do this.

You want to use my stick?

- Yeah. - All right.

Come on, I'll help you up. Pace yourself.

- Phew!

I had to stop and take a break

and everybody had to stop and wait on me.

It wasn't that I'm weak. I was just...

Felt dizzy, you know, and I was afraid

I might fall down and hurt myself.

Uh, what's going through their minds is

"Maybe we should leave him behind.

"He's gonna be holding us up.

We may never get to
where we're going to go."

That ain't gonna happen.
I'm gonna be with them.

I want to stick it through the end.

I will be able to take care
of myself and do my part

and get my share of the gold.

- Finding the heart
stone in the Superstitions

was a pretty big deal,

but I feel like we've returned to town

with more questions than we had answers.

So now, Frank and I are heading over

to meet with Tom Kollenborn.

Tom's the expert on everything

to do with the Superstition Mountains.

So by sharing what we found
at the heart stone with Tom,

hopefully he can give
us some new information.

- Wayne Tuttle, haven't
seen you in a few days.

Come on in here and we'll...

There's a couple places we can sit.

- Okay, Tom.

- Well, what can I do for you gentlemen?

- Well, Tom, we've
been up on Frank's claims

and what we found is kind
of a heart-shaped stone

in the rock, has a cross in it,

kinda like on the stone maps, you know.

- Let me show you a picture of that.

- Oh, okay. A heart.
- See what he's talking about?

Now, that thing, exactly...

on the maps where the X is, this is there.

- There's hearts all over those mountains.

- How many hearts do you...

- There are lots of them back there.

- Can you kinda point out to us,

show us where some of those locations are?

- One up by Iron Mountain.

Let's find Iron Mountain on here.

Here, here's Iron Mountain.
It's right in this area.

There's a canyon down
there, somewhere right in there

is where that one is.
- Okay. And that's back

where that cave is back in there,

in that canyon going up in that one.

- And then, the one
over here, west boulder,

would be back out in here.

It's right in this area,
in the canyon there.

So that's kinda how they're
spread out that I know of.

- What Tom just told me blew my mind.

I wasn't aware of all these
additional heart stones

found in the mountains. This opens up

a whole different perspective on things.

It's like we've been focused on one tree,

but Tom, he just zoomed us
out and revealed an entire forest.

So I gotta sit the team down.

We need to share what we've learned,

analyze the information

that we brought in from the heart stone.

All right, guys.

We need to analyze all our evidence,

everything we've picked
up and brought back.

We got a lot of photographs right now.

Heart stone. I've never seen
an X like this in a heart stone.

Good job, Frank, we got to that.
- Thank you, Wayne, thank you.

- We got a number of photographs

of the heart stone. We got the cave.

Good deal, Deal, because we got in there.

You got those mineral samples,

right? - Yeah, I do.

- So we got that stuff we pulled out.

- I have been tasked to
deal with the ore samples

that I got from the cave.

We're gonna have them sent out and tested,

find out if those minerals
in those rocks match up

with Jacob Waltz's matchbox.

That ore in that matchbox

was supposedly mined
from the Lost Dutchman.

If the ore samples match,

then this could be the Lost Dutchman Mine.

If they don't, we cross out the heart stone

as a possible location and move on.

- All right, guys.

Using Frank's Peralta
map and that heart stone,

we came up to here

up on this mountain.
We worked that waterfall,

got up to that heart-shaped
boulder and that cave.

Frank and I went and
met with Tom Kollenborn.

Tom showed us where
there are a number of these

heart-shaped stones
throughout the mountain system.

I know the one we found has that X.

On the others, I'm not sure of,

if they have any type of manmade mark

or anything directional
or anything about them.

What we need to do is take a look

at these other heart stones

and take down the GPS coordinates.

- Are you saying you do
have the GPS coordinates

for all these other ones?
- Tom's were general markings.

- Because if not, every
single one of these squares

is a section and that's one
mile by one mile square.

It's gonna takes us days
at best to find that spot.

- Wayne, there still may
be something out there

about my claim area.

I still strongly believe
up above this area,

there's something there.

- Frank, we been up and
down. We covered that ground.

We covered the cave,
the heart-shaped boulder.

We didn't find anything.

- I want to go back here,
finish what we started

before we start looking for something else.

- We're not prospecting.
- We're not talking prospecting.

- Frank, Frank!
- We're talking about treasure hunting.

There's something there.
- Frank, we've been through that area.

We spent days there.
- Let me tell you something, Wayne.

We need to search this area,

same as we would a crime scene.

I've used this method before and it works.

You find ( bleep ) that
other people missed.

We need to search these
areas just like we'd grid-search it.

Eric, this is where we need
you also with your metal detectors

to help see if we can locate
anything around this parts.

- Okay, Frank, Frank, Frank!

Time consuming and
time is something that...

- Hey, wait a minute, wait!
- Frank, you're...

- Well, no, wait, wait! - Frank.

- This is why you never find anything

because you go through too ( bleep ) fast.

I'm just telling you we
need to grid search it.

- Frank, I have another
method in grid searching.

It means you're gonna have
to split people up, manpower,

and we're gonna be out here for years.

You're gonna be the 25-year veteran

grid by grid by grid.

- You're a 25-year veteran,

and you haven't found ( bleep ) yet!

- Where's your Lost Dutchman
Mine, heart-stone guy?

- I found gold. What did you find?

The heart stone. I want
to stay. He wants to go

because we're in a hurry.

I'm sorry. That's not
the way I approach things

and I felt bad because I knew
I was overlooking something

at that site by taking
off to somewhere else.

- Frank, I got the
ultimate solution for this

and it's to do it by air.

Aerial photography is gonna
give us a much better view.

We get the GPS coordinates and so forth.

We go out, we hit these sites,

then we come back with that information.

And then, we focus on grids of... areas

where these specific hearts
are of areas of interest.

And I will make that happen.

- So I've contacted a
friend who has a helicopter.

He's willing to take me
out, and that's gonna be

the quickest and easiest way

to take photographs of
these various heart stone sites.

And we can get the
coordinates for Eric to work with.

Ooh, look at that.

- Oh, dude! What's up, man?

- Hey, how's it going?
- Good, man. How you been?

Long time no see.

- I got some locations up in the mountains

and I got approximate locations,

but I need to get visuals on them,

and basically, be able to get close enough

to get a good GPS coordinate.

What I got right here...

is we've started out in here.

We came in and we found this heart stone.

Frank had a map. - Right.

- But what we're trying to do

is we went out and we tried to locate

where these other heart
stones have been known to be.

- Right. - And if they're going to be

physically something
you can see, sight in on,

some sort of marker.
- How big are these things?

You think you can see them from the air

or see a vein of something or what?

- We're not sure 'cause a
lot of these are word of mouth

and we've just gotten
the relative location.

We're just, you know, trying to
verify that, but we don't know.

We don't know if they're 10 feet wide

or 30 feet wide or...

- And even more so from the air,

see if there's some mined-up tailings,

any clue there we can
tell there'd been something

that happened before
in the vicinity of these.

When you're looking for
a mine in the mountains,

one of the signs you're looking for

is tailings or a dump.

You usually see fresh dirt, boulders.

You see a slide. It's a change
in the contour of the terrain.

It's everything they've dumped outside.

- Well, I can tell you for a fact

I've seen many tailings around those areas.

So there's, obviously,
something there that, you know,

somebody's been digging
for at one point in time.

This is not good here.

- Not good? - No. This is wilderness area.

We've got flight restrictions
on how low we can get.

I will get you as close as I can.

- Okay, sounds like a deal.

- Let's do it, man. - All right.

- Once Wayne and Eric are airborne,

they will search for the
heart stones revealed to them

by Superstition Mountains
historian Tom Kollenborn.

It'll be a tricky feat

because some of the heart stones

are in restricted areas.

But once found, Eric will use a GPS tracker

to mark their exact location.

- So we're gonna be straight out that way.

We're about 20 minutes right
now from the first target area.

- Are those wild horses?

- Those are wild mustangs down there.

- I thought they used to
have a big herd out here.

- Awesome. - Awesome.

- That's bad ass.

- I cannot believe there
are still wild horses roaming.

- Pretty amazing.

- Hey, Eric. - Yeah.

- Coming back up over, uh, the Coffee Flat.

We're heading southeast at this point.

- So basically, you want to go right here.

- Yeah, right up along in there.

- Okay. - That'd be great.

- So we're looking at the waterfall area.

- That's right where we
climbed up, right there.

- That's where we came up, I believe.

That's that second waterfall that came up.

That heart stone, but actually down here

on this hill down here.

- We're getting into
restricted area now, guys, so.

- All right.
- The only way that I can really fudge this

is we've got a lot of
terrain variation here.

So that'll allow me to dip
down a little bit deeper,

but kind of be away from the high points.

- Yeah, if you can take it as
far in the canyon as you can.

- We're coming up on one right now.

It should be to your left.

- Yeah, I'm not seeing anything yet.

Seeing anything?

Right there. There it is.

- Yeah.

Like a natural formation there.

- Eric, can you mark that
on the GPS locator for us?

- I think I got one.

Coming up on one on the right right now.

- Yeah, look right
there. It's right below us.

- Yeah, I see it. It sure is.

Holy shit, man, there's another one.

- Good find, Eric.

- Missed them right there. - Yep.

- That makes five. - It's kind of amazing.

It would take someone six months to cover

what we just covered in
a couple hours up in flight.

I've always assumed that
the heart on Frank's map

symbolized a gold mine.

But we've searched that area
and we didn't find the mine.

From the air, though,
I'm seeing something else.

Clearly, those heart-shaped
stones are way markers.

Are these symbols just a coincidence

on these unusually shaped rocks?

Whatever the case, these heart stones,

they're pointing us to a destination.

The only question left is where?

- Next time on

"Legend of the Superstition Mountains"...

- We saw those heart stones from the air.

And so now we have to see if
their location reveals anything.

Towards there. - I have a good idea

where this point leads.

Gold is where you find it. - That's a fact.

- Did you find it, Bob?

- I don't think Bob is telling
us everything he knows.

- Can you go back and talk to him alone?

- There's another map. I
can take you to this spot.

- Look at this. - Waltz said

there was the remains of
a cabin go into his mine.
