1
00:00:02,035 --> 00:00:04,404
Tonight on
"Lost Gold of the Aztecs"...
2
00:00:04,538 --> 00:00:06,406
All right, here we go.
3
00:00:06,540 --> 00:00:09,943
So what we're hoping to find is
an entrance to the treasure chamber.
4
00:00:10,077 --> 00:00:13,347
You gotta be
kidding me. That's it.
5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,892
- Let me know what you're seeing up there.
- Guys, I got something.
6
00:00:15,916 --> 00:00:18,752
We found something out in the
desert that I'd like your opinion on.
7
00:00:18,886 --> 00:00:21,355
It was something that
I've never seen before.
8
00:00:25,058 --> 00:00:26,526
How you doing, Emmett?
9
00:00:26,660 --> 00:00:29,730
Emmett's one of the last
independent miners that I know.
10
00:00:29,863 --> 00:00:31,465
I think Emmett
holds a lot of secrets.
11
00:00:37,104 --> 00:00:38,372
Oh.
12
00:00:38,505 --> 00:00:40,741
I've been in this
desert my whole life,
13
00:00:40,874 --> 00:00:43,944
and I know a grave
when I see one.
14
00:00:44,077 --> 00:00:46,513
500 years ago,
the Aztecs possessed
15
00:00:46,647 --> 00:00:51,485
one of the greatest treasures
the world has ever seen.
16
00:00:51,618 --> 00:00:53,453
Word of this treasure
attracted the attention
17
00:00:53,587 --> 00:00:56,189
of the Spanish conquistadors,
18
00:00:56,323 --> 00:00:58,659
but when they came for the gold,
19
00:00:58,792 --> 00:01:00,761
it was already gone,
20
00:01:00,894 --> 00:01:02,996
hidden by Emperor Montezuma
21
00:01:03,130 --> 00:01:08,001
in locations throughout what
is now the American Southwest.
22
00:01:08,135 --> 00:01:10,871
Now, three treasure
hunting teams,
23
00:01:11,004 --> 00:01:13,273
all with different approaches,
24
00:01:13,407 --> 00:01:16,009
are closing in on
what they believe
25
00:01:16,143 --> 00:01:19,346
is the location of
the lost Aztec gold.
26
00:01:19,479 --> 00:01:22,215
This right here is
definitely manmade activity.
27
00:01:22,349 --> 00:01:24,551
The Dillmans are
following a trail
28
00:01:24,685 --> 00:01:27,387
blazed by the research
of their grandfather.
29
00:01:27,521 --> 00:01:31,091
I believe it's my destiny
to find it for the family.
30
00:01:31,224 --> 00:01:33,360
The Villescas are
treasure seekers
31
00:01:33,493 --> 00:01:36,129
descended from
Spanish conquistadors.
32
00:01:36,263 --> 00:01:38,298
They believe the
Spanish found the gold...
33
00:01:38,432 --> 00:01:39,299
All right. Here we go.
34
00:01:39,433 --> 00:01:40,767
And melted it into bars
35
00:01:40,901 --> 00:01:43,136
hidden throughout the
American Southwest.
36
00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:45,872
If anybody's
gonna find it, it's gonna be us.
37
00:01:46,006 --> 00:01:47,774
And finally, Hoagland and Hegg.
38
00:01:47,908 --> 00:01:49,076
Fire in the hole!
39
00:01:50,744 --> 00:01:53,413
They believe the treasure
is hidden inside mines
40
00:01:53,547 --> 00:01:56,183
along well known
Aztec trade routes.
41
00:01:56,316 --> 00:01:58,185
If anything happens,
be ready to go.
42
00:01:58,318 --> 00:02:00,687
Decades of searching...
43
00:02:00,821 --> 00:02:01,688
That's old as hell.
44
00:02:01,822 --> 00:02:03,256
Three different theories.
45
00:02:03,390 --> 00:02:05,092
That's what
I do. I go find stuff.
46
00:02:05,225 --> 00:02:07,694
Which one of these
teams will be proven right...
47
00:02:08,729 --> 00:02:11,164
and be the first to find
48
00:02:11,298 --> 00:02:14,167
the lost gold of the Aztecs?
49
00:02:31,018 --> 00:02:33,020
All right, guys, so we
know the next step?
50
00:02:33,153 --> 00:02:34,788
Dan Dillman has been following
51
00:02:34,921 --> 00:02:37,491
his late grandfather's
research for decades
52
00:02:37,624 --> 00:02:39,726
in the hopes of
finding a tunnel system
53
00:02:39,860 --> 00:02:42,496
that leads to Montezuma's gold.
54
00:02:42,629 --> 00:02:44,331
For the past several weeks,
55
00:02:44,464 --> 00:02:46,024
they've been searching
for these tunnels
56
00:02:46,099 --> 00:02:49,536
in and around the place
they call Shadow Cave.
57
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:51,405
But after coming up cold...
58
00:02:51,538 --> 00:02:55,676
Maybe that's just an
impression in the wall of the cave.
59
00:02:55,809 --> 00:02:58,412
They're pivoting to
another site in the canyon
60
00:02:58,545 --> 00:03:02,749
that Dan's grandfather
thought might be promising.
61
00:03:02,883 --> 00:03:05,963
All right, Derrick, let's take a look at
the areas we've already covered here.
62
00:03:07,854 --> 00:03:09,556
My grandfather taught me
63
00:03:09,690 --> 00:03:12,793
that you have to really
exhaust every avenue you can
64
00:03:12,926 --> 00:03:17,297
because you can easily
overlook a very important clue.
65
00:03:17,431 --> 00:03:21,468
All right, so so far we've
covered all of this area right here.
66
00:03:21,601 --> 00:03:24,004
One of the things that
my grandfather and uncles
67
00:03:24,137 --> 00:03:25,405
have always stressed to me
68
00:03:25,539 --> 00:03:27,441
was to look for
signs and symbols,
69
00:03:27,574 --> 00:03:30,710
to look for those things
that may be out of place.
70
00:03:30,844 --> 00:03:32,412
That's what I'm looking for.
71
00:03:32,546 --> 00:03:34,681
I think the next place
we have to start looking
72
00:03:34,815 --> 00:03:37,551
is right over here in the
northeast corner of the canyon.
73
00:03:37,684 --> 00:03:40,520
- Right.
- Right along here.
74
00:03:40,654 --> 00:03:43,056
All right, well, let's get
the drone up in the air
75
00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:45,892
and let's see if we can find
anything along the rims here.
76
00:03:46,026 --> 00:03:47,470
- All right, that works.
- All right, cool.
77
00:03:47,494 --> 00:03:49,062
So what we're hoping to find
78
00:03:49,196 --> 00:03:51,565
in this canyon is
a tunnel system,
79
00:03:51,698 --> 00:03:54,701
an entrance into a
treasure chamber.
80
00:03:54,835 --> 00:03:56,503
All right, here we go.
81
00:04:04,811 --> 00:04:06,813
Gonna go right across
this river here, right?
82
00:04:06,947 --> 00:04:09,316
Absolutely. Let's make
sure to just hit the rim first.
83
00:04:09,449 --> 00:04:12,119
- Yep.
- Actually hitting the face and the outside first.
84
00:04:12,252 --> 00:04:14,130
- Okay.
- And then if we can get another scan
85
00:04:14,154 --> 00:04:16,923
that will come up up over kind
of on the top of the rim as well.
86
00:04:17,057 --> 00:04:17,924
- Okay.
- Yeah.
87
00:04:18,058 --> 00:04:19,726
All right, let's
see what we find.
88
00:04:19,860 --> 00:04:22,429
You always wanna look around
especially towards the rims,
89
00:04:22,562 --> 00:04:24,402
because if the Aztecs
were coming through here,
90
00:04:24,498 --> 00:04:27,338
they would sit right on the top so
they could oversee the entire valley.
91
00:04:28,602 --> 00:04:32,506
- All right, let's take it a little bit to the right.
- All right.
92
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:34,519
Why don't you zoom in
a little closer with that?
93
00:04:34,574 --> 00:04:37,677
See if you can move
in closer to the cliff.
94
00:04:37,811 --> 00:04:40,113
- Yeah, we're gonna wanna fly right over that.
- Yeah.
95
00:04:44,518 --> 00:04:46,353
- Did you guys see that?
- Yeah.
96
00:04:46,486 --> 00:04:49,322
Get a little closer if you can.
97
00:04:49,456 --> 00:04:51,892
- Huh.
- Interesting.
98
00:04:52,025 --> 00:04:53,770
That looks like some
kind of opening, for sure.
99
00:04:53,794 --> 00:04:55,529
Try to push
into that right there.
100
00:04:55,662 --> 00:04:57,998
- Right here? All right.
- Yeah.
101
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,002
Go nice and slow.
102
00:05:03,870 --> 00:05:05,939
Oh, forget it. That
looks like nothing.
103
00:05:06,072 --> 00:05:09,242
I can see how you could've thought it
was an opening, but, yeah, it's nothing.
104
00:05:09,376 --> 00:05:13,847
All right, keep heading west
along the rim. Let's see what we get.
105
00:05:13,980 --> 00:05:15,715
Just keep following the canyon.
106
00:05:15,849 --> 00:05:17,260
Right along this way, right?
107
00:05:17,284 --> 00:05:18,318
- Yep.
- All right.
108
00:05:18,451 --> 00:05:19,731
I'm bringing it down right here.
109
00:05:27,427 --> 00:05:29,547
Hold on, I think we have
something here. Hold up, bud.
110
00:05:30,597 --> 00:05:32,465
Steady that thing
out. Bring it closer.
111
00:05:32,599 --> 00:05:34,301
You see that right there?
112
00:05:34,434 --> 00:05:36,145
If we can get down
right on the face of that...
113
00:05:36,169 --> 00:05:37,804
Yeah, I mean, we almost landed.
114
00:05:40,774 --> 00:05:42,409
You gotta be kidding me.
115
00:05:43,643 --> 00:05:46,813
I have seen this before.
116
00:05:46,947 --> 00:05:48,348
So one of the major symbols
117
00:05:48,481 --> 00:05:50,483
that my grandfather
always told us
118
00:05:50,617 --> 00:05:52,252
to be aware of and to look for
119
00:05:52,385 --> 00:05:55,522
was the sacred water
stone, or the water glyph.
120
00:05:55,655 --> 00:05:57,858
A water glyph is a stone marker
121
00:05:57,991 --> 00:06:00,527
that points in the
direction of water sources.
122
00:06:00,660 --> 00:06:04,297
They can be anywhere
from 1,000 to 2,000 years old,
123
00:06:04,431 --> 00:06:06,666
and this is significant,
because my grandfather
124
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,102
also discovered one
in Johnson Canyon.
125
00:06:09,236 --> 00:06:13,573
In 1982,
Raymond Dillman's research
126
00:06:13,707 --> 00:06:15,709
led him to Johnson Canyon, Utah,
127
00:06:15,842 --> 00:06:19,646
where he discovered several
mysterious pictographs,
128
00:06:19,779 --> 00:06:21,648
an ancient burial site,
129
00:06:21,781 --> 00:06:23,650
and a water glyph.
130
00:06:23,817 --> 00:06:25,518
Raymond suspected
that this stone
131
00:06:25,652 --> 00:06:28,088
may have been
a sacrificial altar.
132
00:06:29,122 --> 00:06:30,657
That's it.
133
00:06:30,790 --> 00:06:33,193
- It's unbelievable.
- It's crazy.
134
00:06:33,326 --> 00:06:35,929
Finding the sacred water stone
135
00:06:36,062 --> 00:06:38,031
brings more credibility
and more evidence
136
00:06:38,164 --> 00:06:39,499
that we are in the right canyon.
137
00:06:39,633 --> 00:06:41,334
What is it that
we're gonna find?
138
00:06:41,468 --> 00:06:45,338
I don't quite know yet,
but I do know that we've got
139
00:06:45,472 --> 00:06:49,209
the sacred water stone,
and that alone is major.
140
00:06:49,342 --> 00:06:53,179
I'm gonna bring in an archeologist
that our family has worked with for years
141
00:06:53,313 --> 00:06:56,783
to see what clues
this stone can provide.
142
00:07:07,627 --> 00:07:09,195
Gabriel and his father Ramon
143
00:07:09,329 --> 00:07:11,932
are on their way to meet
with a local blacksmith
144
00:07:12,065 --> 00:07:15,802
and historian to have
a recent find examined.
145
00:07:15,936 --> 00:07:19,639
While digging in area
they've termed the Fire Pit,
146
00:07:19,773 --> 00:07:21,308
they uncovered an old spur.
147
00:07:21,441 --> 00:07:23,143
Something's in the
grizzly. Look at that.
148
00:07:23,276 --> 00:07:26,346
Oh, wow.
Look at that. Bingo.
149
00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:29,082
If the spur dates back
to the conquistadors,
150
00:07:29,215 --> 00:07:30,950
it could be tangible evidence
151
00:07:31,084 --> 00:07:33,086
that the Spanish came
through their dig site
152
00:07:33,219 --> 00:07:36,289
and could've used
it to hide their gold.
153
00:07:36,423 --> 00:07:38,067
- Hey, Clint. How you doing?
- Good. And yourself?
154
00:07:38,091 --> 00:07:39,091
Good to see you again.
155
00:07:40,694 --> 00:07:41,694
- This is it.
- Aw.
156
00:07:41,728 --> 00:07:44,964
We found this out
there in the desert.
157
00:07:45,098 --> 00:07:46,733
Man, that's got
a lot of age to it.
158
00:07:46,866 --> 00:07:49,569
A lot of people have
rode through the Southwest...
159
00:07:49,703 --> 00:07:51,905
The Spaniards, early
American settlers.
160
00:07:52,038 --> 00:07:54,341
I'm optimistic on the spur find,
161
00:07:54,474 --> 00:07:56,876
but it could be anybody's spur.
162
00:07:57,010 --> 00:07:59,612
Let me try to get a
little bit of that clay out.
163
00:08:03,450 --> 00:08:07,654
So this one is actually in great
shape for the age. It's great.
164
00:08:07,787 --> 00:08:10,857
I've dug up a lot of stuff
here in the Southwest,
165
00:08:10,990 --> 00:08:14,294
and every time I find something,
it's usually in great condition.
166
00:08:14,427 --> 00:08:16,663
The desert is a
great time capsule.
167
00:08:16,796 --> 00:08:19,108
It doesn't rain very much
out here. It's very dry and arid.
168
00:08:19,132 --> 00:08:22,469
There's not enough moisture out
here to make things rust out fast.
169
00:08:22,602 --> 00:08:26,840
You know, it's got the ornate shank and
stuff that's big, so it was a fancier one.
170
00:08:26,973 --> 00:08:29,008
They started getting
smaller after that.
171
00:08:29,142 --> 00:08:31,062
Some of the older ones
were even a little larger,
172
00:08:31,111 --> 00:08:33,313
up to like five-inch rowels,
you know, the wheels.
173
00:08:33,446 --> 00:08:36,082
And then right
here is the swinger.
174
00:08:36,216 --> 00:08:39,219
This here is what was
holding a leather band on.
175
00:08:39,352 --> 00:08:41,688
Most likely when you
find a single like that
176
00:08:41,821 --> 00:08:43,466
it's because the strap broke
sometime when they were riding,
177
00:08:43,490 --> 00:08:45,125
didn't notice it until later.
178
00:08:45,258 --> 00:08:46,860
And this one here
could've been anything
179
00:08:46,993 --> 00:08:51,364
after about 1500 into late 17.
180
00:08:51,498 --> 00:08:55,068
Could it be Spanish?
From the conquistadores?
181
00:08:55,201 --> 00:08:57,670
I'm gonna put a
little bit of penetrating oil.
182
00:08:57,804 --> 00:09:00,940
- I'm gonna clean up that shank just a little bit.
- Sure.
183
00:09:01,074 --> 00:09:06,079
They took a lot of pride
in doing that ornate work.
184
00:09:06,212 --> 00:09:10,483
Actually, this just particular shape
of this shank, I've seen before.
185
00:09:12,452 --> 00:09:17,424
Also the forge work, and you can
see the file work and stuff on the band?
186
00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:19,426
You can see all that
weaving in and out.
187
00:09:21,194 --> 00:09:25,932
Oh, yeah. Yep.
Definitely conquistadors.
188
00:09:26,066 --> 00:09:29,202
This one, as ornate
as it is, and as large,
189
00:09:29,335 --> 00:09:34,374
it was most likely owned by
somebody military or a wealthier owner
190
00:09:34,507 --> 00:09:36,810
that would've been
somebody high-ranking.
191
00:09:38,611 --> 00:09:41,381
The Spanish actually introduced
the horse to the New World.
192
00:09:41,514 --> 00:09:46,519
In 1493, I believe, in Columbus'
second expedition to the Americas,
193
00:09:46,653 --> 00:09:47,754
he brought them over.
194
00:09:47,887 --> 00:09:49,689
And then Cortez
brought more over
195
00:09:49,823 --> 00:09:51,591
about 30 years after that.
196
00:09:51,724 --> 00:09:53,960
You mean, there was no
horses on this continent?
197
00:09:54,094 --> 00:09:55,328
- Nope. Yep.
- Wow.
198
00:09:55,462 --> 00:09:59,599
So the horses that the
Native Americans obtained
199
00:09:59,732 --> 00:10:01,911
was that from the same stock
that the Spaniards had had?
200
00:10:01,935 --> 00:10:03,603
- Yeah, yeah.
- Spaniards, yeah.
201
00:10:03,736 --> 00:10:07,674
Horses populated the
Southwest before the Spanish arrived,
202
00:10:07,807 --> 00:10:11,010
but went extinct 8,000
to 10,000 years ago.
203
00:10:11,144 --> 00:10:14,013
The reintroduction of horses
to America by the Spanish
204
00:10:14,147 --> 00:10:17,817
became what we know today
as the modern wild mustang.
205
00:10:17,951 --> 00:10:20,553
That's a great piece. Yeah.
206
00:10:20,687 --> 00:10:23,389
That points us right where we
wanna be in the right direction.
207
00:10:23,523 --> 00:10:25,458
It is. You're right on there.
208
00:10:25,592 --> 00:10:28,561
- That's where it came from, the timeframe, everything.
- Yeah.
209
00:10:28,695 --> 00:10:30,339
I've been chasing this
treasure for decades,
210
00:10:30,363 --> 00:10:32,165
so today's a really
big day for us.
211
00:10:32,298 --> 00:10:34,938
This spur's our first real confirmation
that the Spanish were here.
212
00:10:35,001 --> 00:10:37,971
Does it mean that they actually
buried gold here? It's definitely possible.
213
00:10:38,104 --> 00:10:39,806
We're gonna keep
on working this area.
214
00:10:39,939 --> 00:10:41,040
This might be it.
215
00:10:41,174 --> 00:10:43,142
Right on, man.
Thanks for sharing that.
216
00:11:01,227 --> 00:11:03,229
She's a sight for sore eyes.
217
00:11:05,398 --> 00:11:06,633
So what's this all about?
218
00:11:06,766 --> 00:11:08,902
I got something to show
you down the mountain here.
219
00:11:09,035 --> 00:11:12,138
Okay. Down the mountain again?
220
00:11:12,272 --> 00:11:14,140
You'll know when you see it.
221
00:11:14,274 --> 00:11:15,794
Kevin Hoagland and Chris Hegg
222
00:11:15,875 --> 00:11:17,644
have been searching
an ancient mine
223
00:11:17,777 --> 00:11:20,346
looking for Aztec
gold for several weeks,
224
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,615
but Chris has made
a disturbing discovery
225
00:11:22,749 --> 00:11:24,083
near the mine's entrance,
226
00:11:24,217 --> 00:11:27,387
so he is bringing Kevin
to the site to examine it.
227
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,965
I was up here looking
around on the side of the mountain,
228
00:11:29,989 --> 00:11:32,792
and I seen something down
here that I wanna show Kevin.
229
00:11:32,926 --> 00:11:34,160
It's some kind of mound.
230
00:11:40,633 --> 00:11:42,635
It's around here.
231
00:11:45,505 --> 00:11:46,873
Oh.
232
00:11:50,910 --> 00:11:52,045
What's your opinion?
233
00:11:52,178 --> 00:11:54,547
My gut tells me it's a grave.
234
00:11:54,681 --> 00:11:57,116
I've been in this
desert my whole life,
235
00:11:57,250 --> 00:11:59,052
and I know a grave
when I see one.
236
00:11:59,185 --> 00:12:01,921
I mean, it's the most
disrespectful way you could do this,
237
00:12:02,055 --> 00:12:04,357
and so I think it was
done out of necessity.
238
00:12:04,490 --> 00:12:06,793
Yeah.
239
00:12:06,926 --> 00:12:11,331
If you know that you have a
body, then it gets a little touchy.
240
00:12:11,464 --> 00:12:13,266
You shut down everything,
241
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:15,034
you get ahold of
the local authorities.
242
00:12:15,168 --> 00:12:17,971
And then they come out
and they take over from there.
243
00:12:18,104 --> 00:12:21,174
I don't know. You think it's
worth a run of the radar then?
244
00:12:22,575 --> 00:12:23,876
Yeah, I do.
245
00:12:24,010 --> 00:12:26,312
Okay, let me grab my
GPR, and we'll check this out.
246
00:12:28,615 --> 00:12:31,351
To avoid disturbing
any possible remains,
247
00:12:31,484 --> 00:12:33,753
Chris will use
ground-penetrating radar
248
00:12:33,886 --> 00:12:35,788
to scan the ground
below the rocks
249
00:12:35,922 --> 00:12:39,192
for an indentation
large enough for a body.
250
00:12:39,325 --> 00:12:40,460
What do you wanna do?
251
00:12:40,593 --> 00:12:43,196
All we're gonna
do is just hand it across
252
00:12:43,329 --> 00:12:45,632
'cause of this ground is,
you know, flat on both sides...
253
00:12:45,765 --> 00:12:48,234
- If there's... yeah. Right.
- And it's a...
254
00:12:48,368 --> 00:12:50,370
That's what we're looking for.
255
00:12:50,503 --> 00:12:53,573
Have it touch as close as
you can get to the ground.
256
00:12:53,706 --> 00:12:54,807
And keep going.
257
00:12:56,876 --> 00:12:58,745
Wow. Look at that.
258
00:12:58,878 --> 00:13:01,814
- Wow. Look at this.
- You can read the... yeah.
259
00:13:01,948 --> 00:13:03,726
- Instantly. You don't even need a second run.
- Yep.
260
00:13:03,750 --> 00:13:05,985
There's a big pit in the
ground. Look at that.
261
00:13:06,119 --> 00:13:08,721
That goes down quite aways.
262
00:13:08,855 --> 00:13:11,491
That's bedrock,
right, on both sides?
263
00:13:11,624 --> 00:13:13,264
- Yep.
- Right under us within six inches.
264
00:13:13,326 --> 00:13:14,193
Mm-hmm.
265
00:13:14,327 --> 00:13:17,463
And there's the pit right there.
266
00:13:20,166 --> 00:13:23,236
I really don't wanna
mess with this.
267
00:13:23,369 --> 00:13:27,073
This could really slow
us down on what we're doing,
268
00:13:27,206 --> 00:13:30,009
but if it is a body, it
deserves that respect.
269
00:13:30,143 --> 00:13:32,178
We have ourself a grave.
270
00:13:37,483 --> 00:13:40,486
- What are we gonna do?
- What we have to do.
271
00:13:40,620 --> 00:13:41,921
We need to get Sheriff out here.
272
00:13:43,189 --> 00:13:45,091
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
273
00:13:57,603 --> 00:13:59,272
Up to the top.
274
00:13:59,405 --> 00:14:02,475
The Dillman team, along
with archeologist Aaron Jordan,
275
00:14:02,608 --> 00:14:05,044
are making their way
along the canyon rim
276
00:14:05,178 --> 00:14:06,479
to inspect the water glyph.
277
00:14:06,612 --> 00:14:08,181
Let's do this thing.
278
00:14:08,314 --> 00:14:11,417
Aaron, an expert on
pictographs of the Southwest,
279
00:14:11,551 --> 00:14:15,421
has been collaborating with the
Dillman family for nearly 20 years.
280
00:14:15,555 --> 00:14:17,623
If that is a shaft,
manmade, created,
281
00:14:17,757 --> 00:14:20,093
it is quite large, versus
what you would expect
282
00:14:20,226 --> 00:14:21,861
amongst most native groups here.
283
00:14:22,895 --> 00:14:25,565
Step up on the rock. Perfect.
284
00:14:25,698 --> 00:14:26,933
You got it, brother.
285
00:14:27,066 --> 00:14:29,235
I need some help
decoding this water glyph,
286
00:14:29,368 --> 00:14:31,571
and Aaron Jordan is
the only one on my team
287
00:14:31,704 --> 00:14:34,374
who has the knowledge
and expertise to get that done.
288
00:14:34,507 --> 00:14:36,242
Right up over this way.
289
00:14:38,578 --> 00:14:41,013
So that's
definitely a water glyph.
290
00:14:41,147 --> 00:14:43,850
We've documented
c lose to 400 of these
291
00:14:43,983 --> 00:14:45,918
in the American
Southwest so far.
292
00:14:46,052 --> 00:14:49,055
- Wow.
- If you look down here,
293
00:14:49,188 --> 00:14:51,157
there's certain characteristics
294
00:14:51,290 --> 00:14:53,493
that identifies this
as a water glyph.
295
00:14:53,626 --> 00:14:55,027
You've got this oval.
296
00:14:55,161 --> 00:14:58,431
Often, the line is gonna
be about double the length
297
00:14:58,564 --> 00:15:00,700
as width of the
oval or the circles.
298
00:15:00,833 --> 00:15:03,035
And then you've got a
line that generally marks
299
00:15:03,169 --> 00:15:05,037
and directs them
to a water source.
300
00:15:05,171 --> 00:15:06,971
It's imperative that they
know where water is.
301
00:15:07,006 --> 00:15:08,474
Water is valuable as gold
302
00:15:08,608 --> 00:15:10,576
- because without water you die.
- Right.
303
00:15:10,710 --> 00:15:12,278
Some of the preliminary analysis
304
00:15:12,412 --> 00:15:15,014
on these particular glyphs
here in the Southwest
305
00:15:15,148 --> 00:15:17,583
is that one leads to another,
you know, to another.
306
00:15:17,717 --> 00:15:20,520
I've got a two day walk, you
know, to go where I'm going,
307
00:15:20,653 --> 00:15:21,754
I'm gonna run out water.
308
00:15:21,888 --> 00:15:24,257
So they would orient
this that if you knew...
309
00:15:24,390 --> 00:15:27,293
If you followed this, you'd
be able to hit the next glyph.
310
00:15:27,426 --> 00:15:29,028
And we've been able to do that.
311
00:15:29,162 --> 00:15:31,106
We've been able to follow
some of these glyphs here
312
00:15:31,130 --> 00:15:33,499
that lead to another glyph
and another water source
313
00:15:33,633 --> 00:15:35,110
which then leads to
another water source.
314
00:15:35,134 --> 00:15:37,336
So it's basically a trail.
315
00:15:37,470 --> 00:15:40,940
Our family theory is we
believe the Aztecs were here
316
00:15:41,073 --> 00:15:42,909
and made these
symbols as they left
317
00:15:43,042 --> 00:15:47,280
and as they journeyed to
Mexico to found Tenochtitlan.
318
00:15:47,413 --> 00:15:49,515
And so then they
left this path then,
319
00:15:49,649 --> 00:15:51,584
obviously, to be able to
come back and navigate.
320
00:15:51,717 --> 00:15:53,820
That could... that's
a pretty valid point.
321
00:15:53,953 --> 00:15:55,388
As they were abandoning...
322
00:15:55,521 --> 00:15:57,123
What we call the
Southwest Abandonment,
323
00:15:57,256 --> 00:16:00,092
which occurred
around A.D. 1300 or so,
324
00:16:00,226 --> 00:16:03,629
which is, you know, around
the time of these glyphs...
325
00:16:03,763 --> 00:16:05,631
- Right.
- As they're traveling,
326
00:16:05,765 --> 00:16:07,567
- let's say to the south, right?
- Mm-hmm.
327
00:16:07,700 --> 00:16:09,144
And they're marking
these water sources,
328
00:16:09,168 --> 00:16:10,870
that they do plan to come back.
329
00:16:11,003 --> 00:16:12,371
Right.
330
00:16:12,505 --> 00:16:14,507
The ancestral
home of the Aztecs,
331
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,542
known as Aztlan,
332
00:16:16,676 --> 00:16:18,711
is believed to have
been located somewhere
333
00:16:18,845 --> 00:16:21,080
in the American Southwest.
334
00:16:21,214 --> 00:16:24,750
Over generations, the
Aztecs migrated south
335
00:16:24,884 --> 00:16:27,086
in what's been called
the Great Abandonment,
336
00:16:27,220 --> 00:16:31,924
and founded Tenochtitlan
around the year 1325
337
00:16:32,058 --> 00:16:35,428
which became the
capitol of the Aztec empire.
338
00:16:35,561 --> 00:16:37,864
Dan's family believes
that before the Spanish
339
00:16:37,997 --> 00:16:40,366
attacked the Aztecs in 1520,
340
00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:44,937
Montezuma had the gold
taken north to Aztlan and hidden.
341
00:16:45,071 --> 00:16:47,506
These markers, they're in stone,
342
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,510
and so they will last
for thousands of years.
343
00:16:50,643 --> 00:16:53,179
The Aztec, when they
were here up north,
344
00:16:53,312 --> 00:16:56,282
did they make these
markers as they traveled south
345
00:16:56,415 --> 00:16:59,385
so they could make their
way back to their homeland?
346
00:16:59,518 --> 00:17:00,586
Water glyphs, like I said,
347
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,723
they're oriented so if
you take your compass...
348
00:17:03,856 --> 00:17:07,059
So you can take a little
reading off of that thing.
349
00:17:07,193 --> 00:17:08,995
And so that's telling me
350
00:17:09,128 --> 00:17:12,899
that about 250 to 260 degrees
351
00:17:13,032 --> 00:17:14,734
is the actual right bearing,
352
00:17:14,867 --> 00:17:16,302
and that would lead us to...
353
00:17:16,435 --> 00:17:18,971
If we go 260
degrees out this way...
354
00:17:19,105 --> 00:17:20,682
That probably leads us right
to Shadow Cave up there.
355
00:17:20,706 --> 00:17:22,775
That's exactly
what I'm thinking.
356
00:17:22,909 --> 00:17:25,444
That water glyph
absolutely is pointing
357
00:17:25,578 --> 00:17:27,713
in the direction of Shadow Cave.
358
00:17:27,847 --> 00:17:29,715
That's another major
sign and symbol
359
00:17:29,849 --> 00:17:31,884
that my grandfather
told us to look for.
360
00:17:32,018 --> 00:17:35,288
Why pick out a
specific water source?
361
00:17:35,421 --> 00:17:37,356
That's the question
that pops into my mind.
362
00:17:37,490 --> 00:17:40,226
My perspective is if you're
using this as a water trail,
363
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:41,839
why not use it as
an additional trail?
364
00:17:41,928 --> 00:17:44,864
Right, and that's one of
the things that we believe,
365
00:17:44,997 --> 00:17:46,699
is that they have
multiple meanings.
366
00:17:46,832 --> 00:17:49,402
You know, that you could have
two to three layers of meanings
367
00:17:49,535 --> 00:17:50,903
to this symbol.
368
00:17:51,037 --> 00:17:53,318
There's a lot of symbolism
that we just really don't know.
369
00:17:53,439 --> 00:17:56,008
Is it possible
that these water glyphs,
370
00:17:56,142 --> 00:17:59,946
were they actually made
by the ancient Aztecs?
371
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:03,449
Because they would've absolutely
come to a canyon just like this,
372
00:18:03,582 --> 00:18:06,886
a place also with
such natural resources
373
00:18:07,019 --> 00:18:12,391
that they could engineer exactly
what they needed to hide the treasure.
374
00:18:12,525 --> 00:18:16,729
This canyon is a prime location
for Montezuma's treasure.
375
00:18:16,862 --> 00:18:20,099
I've got to look deeper into
my grandfather's research
376
00:18:20,232 --> 00:18:21,801
and I need to see
what's going on.
377
00:18:34,013 --> 00:18:35,881
Here we go.
378
00:18:36,015 --> 00:18:39,085
After getting confirmation
that the Spanish conquistadors
379
00:18:39,218 --> 00:18:40,886
could've passed
through the Fire Pits...
380
00:18:41,020 --> 00:18:43,022
This shank I've seen before
381
00:18:43,155 --> 00:18:45,858
in a few of the old
conquistador spurs in museums.
382
00:18:45,992 --> 00:18:47,760
Gabe and his father Ramon
383
00:18:47,893 --> 00:18:49,762
have returned to resume digging.
384
00:18:49,895 --> 00:18:53,666
Right now, I'm just working in concentric
circles to expand this work area.
385
00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:57,169
I think we might
be onto something.
386
00:19:05,077 --> 00:19:06,512
Just shake it a
little bit, okay?
387
00:19:09,215 --> 00:19:12,118
You know, I've got a lot of pressure
because my brain's telling me
388
00:19:12,251 --> 00:19:14,353
I don't have enough
evidence to dig this site.
389
00:19:14,487 --> 00:19:16,989
And on the other side
my heart's telling me that,
390
00:19:17,123 --> 00:19:18,290
you know, my dad doesn't have
391
00:19:18,424 --> 00:19:19,668
a whole lot of
searches left in him.
392
00:19:19,692 --> 00:19:21,060
Don't see nothing?
393
00:19:21,193 --> 00:19:22,595
- Nothing.
- Okay.
394
00:19:22,728 --> 00:19:24,397
Try it again.
395
00:19:26,732 --> 00:19:30,269
I've been fortunate enough to have
my father with me this whole journey,
396
00:19:30,403 --> 00:19:31,713
and he's getting
a little bit older.
397
00:19:31,737 --> 00:19:33,039
I wanna bring this home.
398
00:19:37,710 --> 00:19:39,278
That was a big one, huh?
399
00:19:41,414 --> 00:19:44,450
I wanna be able to
hand him a bar of gold
400
00:19:44,617 --> 00:19:47,319
and share that experience with
him and see the smile on his face
401
00:19:47,453 --> 00:19:51,490
when we're finally able
to complete this adventure.
402
00:19:51,624 --> 00:19:53,559
Nothing?
403
00:19:53,692 --> 00:19:55,412
I wanna show him all
our hard work paid off.
404
00:20:05,971 --> 00:20:07,173
Let's see what we got here.
405
00:20:18,584 --> 00:20:20,453
Look at that, Dad.
406
00:20:20,586 --> 00:20:23,255
- It looks dark, like a piece of iron.
- It sure does, huh?
407
00:20:23,389 --> 00:20:25,057
Like it was shaped on purpose.
408
00:20:25,191 --> 00:20:29,295
- It almost looks like some type of iron implement.
- But it's a root.
409
00:20:29,428 --> 00:20:30,663
But it's a root.
410
00:20:30,796 --> 00:20:33,365
When you start looking at
stuff like this all day, I mean,
411
00:20:33,499 --> 00:20:36,102
even a root starts to
look like a treasure.
412
00:20:36,235 --> 00:20:37,803
Dump it, man.
413
00:20:44,376 --> 00:20:48,581
Dad, look at that. Almost
like a piece of pottery.
414
00:20:48,714 --> 00:20:50,483
- What is it?
- What do you make of that?
415
00:20:50,616 --> 00:20:53,219
- Is it metal?
- I don't know.
416
00:20:53,352 --> 00:20:55,087
What is this? It's
a funny shape.
417
00:20:55,221 --> 00:20:58,023
I mean, it looks manmade.
418
00:21:00,025 --> 00:21:01,727
What the heck is this thing?
419
00:21:08,134 --> 00:21:11,103
A piece of pottery is
really, really cool and interesting,
420
00:21:11,237 --> 00:21:13,305
but, you know, I just
don't know what it is.
421
00:21:13,439 --> 00:21:15,074
I need to get this
over to somebody
422
00:21:15,207 --> 00:21:17,409
that can look at this
item and identify it.
423
00:21:27,586 --> 00:21:29,788
Oh, man, what are we
gonna do about this grave site?
424
00:21:31,757 --> 00:21:33,392
Kevin Hoagland and Chris Hegg
425
00:21:33,526 --> 00:21:36,328
are headed into cell phone
range to call the sheriff
426
00:21:36,462 --> 00:21:39,265
after finding what they
believe may be a grave site.
427
00:21:39,398 --> 00:21:42,668
They're putting their search
for treasure temporarily on hold.
428
00:21:44,403 --> 00:21:47,940
I mean, the best thing that
could happen is it is ancient.
429
00:21:48,073 --> 00:21:53,445
If that's a crime scene from
somewhere in the last 30 to 50 years...
430
00:21:55,181 --> 00:21:58,484
then we are shut down.
431
00:21:58,617 --> 00:22:00,286
The last thing I wanna
do is get jammed up
432
00:22:00,419 --> 00:22:04,490
in a bunch of
unnecessary bureaucracy.
433
00:22:04,623 --> 00:22:07,459
I think the sheriff's
our best bet.
434
00:22:07,593 --> 00:22:10,996
It's a nice small county. I mean,
these guys know what they're doing.
435
00:22:11,130 --> 00:22:12,865
Dude, it's a body on
the side of a mountain.
436
00:22:12,998 --> 00:22:16,468
- No matter what, the right thing to do is...
- Yeah.
437
00:22:16,602 --> 00:22:17,803
Get it checked out.
438
00:22:17,937 --> 00:22:19,738
Let's call him.
439
00:22:21,774 --> 00:22:25,678
- Mineral County Sheriff's Department.
- Yeah, it's 911.
440
00:22:27,546 --> 00:22:29,424
Mineral County
Sheriff's Office. This is Rachel.
441
00:22:29,448 --> 00:22:30,583
Do you have an emergency?
442
00:22:30,716 --> 00:22:32,284
Hi, Rachel, this is Chris Hegg.
443
00:22:32,418 --> 00:22:35,654
Uh, we just... we just
were out at a mine.
444
00:22:35,788 --> 00:22:38,858
We might've found a grave.
We think it's an old grave.
445
00:22:38,991 --> 00:22:40,392
And which mine is it at?
446
00:22:40,526 --> 00:22:42,795
It was up at
Rattlesnake Mountain.
447
00:22:42,928 --> 00:22:46,932
All right, and is this 316-?
448
00:22:47,066 --> 00:22:48,734
Is that a good number
to call you back at?
449
00:22:48,868 --> 00:22:51,303
- Yes, please.
- Beautiful.
450
00:22:51,437 --> 00:22:55,441
Okay, bye. Well,
let's keep moving.
451
00:22:59,378 --> 00:23:01,447
By calling the
Sheriff's Department,
452
00:23:01,580 --> 00:23:05,918
both Chris and I are very
aware that when they show up
453
00:23:06,051 --> 00:23:09,054
they're going to treat
it as a crime scene
454
00:23:09,188 --> 00:23:12,191
no matter what until they
can prove it otherwise.
455
00:23:12,324 --> 00:23:15,761
So that puts us in a
spot of absolute limbo.
456
00:23:15,894 --> 00:23:18,330
We don't know
what's in that hole.
457
00:23:18,464 --> 00:23:20,165
We don't know what's
in that grave site.
458
00:23:20,299 --> 00:23:22,234
It's going to be up to them
459
00:23:22,368 --> 00:23:25,838
on whether we go back
to work immediately or not.
460
00:23:39,952 --> 00:23:43,656
After discovering a
water glyph on the rim of the canyon,
461
00:23:43,789 --> 00:23:46,358
Dan returns to the hundreds
of hours of audio tapes
462
00:23:46,492 --> 00:23:49,795
and research he inherited
from his grandfather.
463
00:23:49,928 --> 00:23:51,630
He hopes that his
grandfather's find
464
00:23:51,764 --> 00:23:54,500
of a similar water glyph in 1982
465
00:23:54,633 --> 00:23:58,637
will provide some clues about
where Dan should search next.
466
00:24:08,247 --> 00:24:09,114
I mean, the Aztecs
467
00:24:09,248 --> 00:24:10,282
could've been following
468
00:24:10,416 --> 00:24:11,917
their ancient
water glyph system,
469
00:24:12,051 --> 00:24:14,987
and then coming into
Cave Lakes Canyon.
470
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:17,489
This is one of the
only places in the area
471
00:24:17,623 --> 00:24:20,826
that would have enough
water and enough resources
472
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,796
to sustain such a
massive amount of people.
473
00:24:23,929 --> 00:24:27,232
And this is the perfect place
the Aztecs would've known about.
474
00:24:27,366 --> 00:24:30,669
My grandfather, through these
audio tapes that we have found of his,
475
00:24:30,803 --> 00:24:33,906
through all of his papers
and notes and writings,
476
00:24:34,039 --> 00:24:37,276
I am really following
his direction.
477
00:24:37,409 --> 00:24:40,879
And that water glyph,
that's just another clue,
478
00:24:41,013 --> 00:24:43,782
another piece of our puzzle.
479
00:25:32,998 --> 00:25:35,667
I think the vertical marker
my grandfather is talking about
480
00:25:35,801 --> 00:25:38,670
is the water glyph,
which he called an altar,
481
00:25:38,804 --> 00:25:42,241
and the cave that it's
pointing to is Shadow Cave.
482
00:25:42,374 --> 00:25:45,010
And so we've got Shadow Cave,
and we've done some investigating,
483
00:25:45,144 --> 00:25:46,345
and Weeping Cave.
484
00:25:46,478 --> 00:25:48,247
And these are great clues,
485
00:25:48,380 --> 00:25:50,082
and possibly could connect us
486
00:25:50,215 --> 00:25:51,450
to the Aztecs being there,
487
00:25:51,617 --> 00:25:53,185
for me, in a big way.
488
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:55,120
But it's still not that chamber
489
00:25:55,254 --> 00:25:57,790
that he's specifically
talking about.
490
00:25:57,923 --> 00:26:00,592
I think we need to go
back to the water glyph
491
00:26:00,726 --> 00:26:02,895
and explore the face
of the canyon below it.
492
00:26:17,443 --> 00:26:20,245
We're going to a ghost town
493
00:26:20,379 --> 00:26:22,147
where only one person lives.
494
00:26:22,281 --> 00:26:24,917
His name's Emmett.
He's an old miner.
495
00:26:25,050 --> 00:26:28,654
He lives out in the middle
of nowhere by himself.
496
00:26:28,787 --> 00:26:31,023
- You'll love it.
- Lucky man.
497
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:32,524
As Kevin and Chris wait
498
00:26:32,658 --> 00:26:35,694
for the local sheriff's
office to call them back,
499
00:26:35,828 --> 00:26:37,963
they're continuing their
hunt the only way they can,
500
00:26:38,096 --> 00:26:40,332
heading to see a local man
501
00:26:40,466 --> 00:26:42,000
who they hope can
provide some answers
502
00:26:42,134 --> 00:26:43,769
on the items they
found in the mine.
503
00:26:43,902 --> 00:26:47,840
So you're thinking Emmett
is gonna know of anybody
504
00:26:47,973 --> 00:26:49,475
that was ever in these mines?
505
00:26:49,608 --> 00:26:52,744
He knows everything there
is to know about this valley.
506
00:26:52,878 --> 00:26:55,347
He's quite a unique character.
507
00:26:55,481 --> 00:26:57,092
So, I've known Emmett
since I was a little boy.
508
00:26:57,116 --> 00:27:00,018
- Yeah.
- He lost his voice to Agent Orange.
509
00:27:00,152 --> 00:27:01,887
He was in Vietnam,
lost his hearing.
510
00:27:02,020 --> 00:27:04,632
So he's really deaf. You gotta
speak up when you're talking to him.
511
00:27:04,656 --> 00:27:10,329
He's the last that I know of the
independent miners in this entire region.
512
00:27:14,333 --> 00:27:16,301
- Is this the area? Is this it?
- This is it.
513
00:27:16,435 --> 00:27:20,572
Well, I think his truck's
home, so I think he's here.
514
00:27:29,248 --> 00:27:32,451
The mine Chris and I are
interested in is obviously an old one.
515
00:27:34,319 --> 00:27:36,288
The first part of the
shaft was all dug by hand.
516
00:27:37,923 --> 00:27:41,293
The hand dug section
dead-ends, but off to side,
517
00:27:41,426 --> 00:27:44,863
there's evidence to a much more
modern approach going down.
518
00:27:44,997 --> 00:27:46,465
We wanna know more about that.
519
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,303
Nobody would've dug that
looking for any type of minerals.
520
00:27:51,436 --> 00:27:54,673
That spot was dug to
either to hold treasure
521
00:27:54,806 --> 00:27:57,009
or it was dug by somebody
looking for treasure.
522
00:27:57,142 --> 00:28:00,913
I'm hoping that Emmett
knows who dug it and why.
523
00:28:01,046 --> 00:28:02,781
Emmett, you home?
524
00:28:04,716 --> 00:28:06,151
How you doing, Emmett?
525
00:28:06,285 --> 00:28:08,720
Emmett's one of the
last independent miners
526
00:28:08,854 --> 00:28:11,356
that I know from the old days.
527
00:28:11,490 --> 00:28:12,650
All right if I set this here?
528
00:28:14,993 --> 00:28:17,996
I think Emmett
holds a lot of secrets.
529
00:28:18,130 --> 00:28:20,108
The reason we're
here is we found some stuff,
530
00:28:20,132 --> 00:28:22,601
and we wanna see if you
know anything about it.
531
00:28:22,734 --> 00:28:24,102
Here's one of them.
532
00:28:26,238 --> 00:28:28,240
It was in the mine.
533
00:28:28,373 --> 00:28:29,908
I thought it was a flask,
534
00:28:30,042 --> 00:28:32,077
and then I saw that it
didn't have a top on it.
535
00:28:38,951 --> 00:28:39,951
Oh, really?
536
00:28:43,121 --> 00:28:45,691
Yep, August of 1955.
537
00:28:45,824 --> 00:28:48,193
And the area that
we're in, it predates that,
538
00:28:48,327 --> 00:28:51,830
so we're both kind of wondering
who may have been in there.
539
00:28:51,964 --> 00:28:55,000
We're in an old mine, and
you might know this area,
540
00:28:55,133 --> 00:28:58,804
but when we got down to
another level, we found this box.
541
00:28:58,937 --> 00:29:00,381
So then there was a
decline that went down,
542
00:29:00,405 --> 00:29:04,743
and we roped down that
and found this can down there.
543
00:29:04,876 --> 00:29:08,880
Who would've been
searching down there and why?
544
00:29:20,025 --> 00:29:22,394
I don't think you can be a
miner without having a little bit
545
00:29:22,527 --> 00:29:24,730
of treasure hunter in you, yeah.
546
00:29:24,863 --> 00:29:27,099
Are those pictures of Roy?
547
00:29:33,272 --> 00:29:35,474
Aw, yeah. There's Roy.
548
00:29:36,875 --> 00:29:38,310
Carbide lamp and...
549
00:29:43,015 --> 00:29:44,983
Well, we're gonna be frank
550
00:29:45,150 --> 00:29:47,085
that we feel that
there was maybe
551
00:29:47,219 --> 00:29:51,423
some ancient treasure out
there even before Spanish
552
00:29:51,556 --> 00:29:54,426
and maybe even the
Aztec time or something.
553
00:29:54,559 --> 00:29:57,479
Could your uncle have been... could
he have been looking for treasure too?
554
00:30:14,946 --> 00:30:16,481
All the research that I've done,
555
00:30:16,615 --> 00:30:19,384
the Aztecs would've
put their treasures
556
00:30:19,518 --> 00:30:21,887
back into the mines
that they came out of.
557
00:30:22,020 --> 00:30:23,889
Do you think that
would be something
558
00:30:24,022 --> 00:30:26,591
that your uncle Roy would've
been looking for as well?
559
00:30:34,733 --> 00:30:37,202
So he could be responsible
for some of the shafts
560
00:30:37,336 --> 00:30:39,171
and some of the
things that we've found
561
00:30:39,304 --> 00:30:43,008
where it's obvious
original hand digging,
562
00:30:43,141 --> 00:30:45,344
and then you can see
where it was iron dug
563
00:30:45,477 --> 00:30:46,912
and then getting
into more modern.
564
00:30:47,045 --> 00:30:50,382
Very possibly something that
your uncle would've been doing.
565
00:30:53,251 --> 00:30:54,495
He spent a lot of time up there.
566
00:30:54,519 --> 00:30:55,754
He would not have done that
567
00:30:55,887 --> 00:30:59,825
if he wasn't really getting
onto something, would he?
568
00:31:03,028 --> 00:31:07,265
If Roy was so secretive,
your uncle was something else.
569
00:31:07,399 --> 00:31:08,399
There he is.
570
00:31:09,868 --> 00:31:11,436
So that's Uncle Roy.
571
00:31:11,570 --> 00:31:13,448
You think he thought
about treasure and everything
572
00:31:13,472 --> 00:31:15,607
till the day he died?
573
00:31:15,741 --> 00:31:17,318
The more Emmett
started to talk about Roy.
574
00:31:17,342 --> 00:31:21,246
He locked into that area that
we're in right now for a reason.
575
00:31:21,380 --> 00:31:23,882
Why do you think your
Uncle Roy was so secretive?
576
00:31:39,531 --> 00:31:42,200
The tunnel that Chris was in,
577
00:31:42,334 --> 00:31:44,402
no miner would've dug that.
578
00:31:44,536 --> 00:31:47,272
A shaft that has no
business being there.
579
00:31:47,406 --> 00:31:50,642
I think the biggest realization
that I had out of all of this today
580
00:31:50,776 --> 00:31:53,211
after talking with Emmett,
hearing about Roy,
581
00:31:53,345 --> 00:31:56,515
is that pit I think
holds something for us,
582
00:31:56,648 --> 00:31:59,418
we've just gotta
figure out what it is.
583
00:31:59,551 --> 00:32:02,154
And it's gonna be a lot
more than a tobacco tin.
584
00:32:16,835 --> 00:32:18,012
Mom, Dad, do you
guys got a copy?
585
00:32:18,036 --> 00:32:20,539
- Yes, we do, son.
- All right.
586
00:32:20,672 --> 00:32:22,407
So we made it up
to the water glyph.
587
00:32:22,541 --> 00:32:24,543
I have Keith in position.
588
00:32:24,676 --> 00:32:28,046
The Dillman family have
hired mountaineering expert Keith Howells
589
00:32:28,180 --> 00:32:30,081
to rappel below the water glyph,
590
00:32:30,215 --> 00:32:34,085
or what Dan calls a
sacred water stone.
591
00:32:34,219 --> 00:32:36,755
After discovering
the sacred water stone,
592
00:32:36,888 --> 00:32:39,257
it just fits right with our
previous experiences
593
00:32:39,391 --> 00:32:40,831
of what my grandfather
has discovered
594
00:32:40,892 --> 00:32:42,294
in Johnson Canyon in '82.
595
00:32:42,427 --> 00:32:43,762
And with that, below it,
596
00:32:43,895 --> 00:32:45,664
my grandfather
said about 40 feet,
597
00:32:45,797 --> 00:32:47,766
that we may discover
some kind of opening,
598
00:32:47,899 --> 00:32:49,000
some kind of tunnel system.
599
00:32:49,134 --> 00:32:50,902
But it also could
be the entrance
600
00:32:51,036 --> 00:32:52,237
to the treasure chamber.
601
00:32:52,370 --> 00:32:53,672
We may find that as well.
602
00:32:53,805 --> 00:32:55,574
Hey, Keith, you doing
all right over there?
603
00:32:55,707 --> 00:32:58,577
- Yeah, doing well.
- Cool. You find a good, solid spot?
604
00:32:58,710 --> 00:33:00,412
Yeah, we've got some
really good anchors.
605
00:33:00,545 --> 00:33:01,856
This tree's gonna
work really great.
606
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,383
I think I'm right over
the top of that crevice
607
00:33:05,517 --> 00:33:07,161
right down there that
you were talking about.
608
00:33:07,185 --> 00:33:09,221
The hope is we find the tunnel,
609
00:33:09,354 --> 00:33:12,724
we find a cave, something
that leads into a bigger chamber,
610
00:33:12,858 --> 00:33:16,561
maybe even into the cliff
itself. That's the grand scale.
611
00:33:16,695 --> 00:33:18,775
On a smaller scale, even
if we find some artifacts...
612
00:33:18,864 --> 00:33:20,665
What people have
found in other areas,
613
00:33:20,799 --> 00:33:22,434
they'll find evidence
of residence,
614
00:33:22,567 --> 00:33:24,035
so anything like
that we can find
615
00:33:24,169 --> 00:33:25,337
will be a win for us today.
616
00:33:29,574 --> 00:33:31,476
We're off to the races now.
617
00:33:46,925 --> 00:33:48,970
So we're sending Keith
down the face of the canyon,
618
00:33:48,994 --> 00:33:50,729
right down the
face of the cliff.
619
00:33:50,862 --> 00:33:53,698
And what's so important
right now is capturing data.
620
00:33:53,832 --> 00:33:55,367
We need photos, we need video.
621
00:33:55,500 --> 00:33:58,236
I need anything that
he can capture on film
622
00:33:58,370 --> 00:33:59,638
and camera for us
623
00:33:59,771 --> 00:34:01,806
because I know
what I'm looking for.
624
00:34:01,940 --> 00:34:03,351
And so it's important
that I get that data back
625
00:34:03,375 --> 00:34:04,743
and I examine it thoroughly.
626
00:34:08,380 --> 00:34:09,390
Make sure you got
a visual on Keith.
627
00:34:09,414 --> 00:34:11,016
I can't see him
from the angle I'm at,
628
00:34:11,149 --> 00:34:13,518
and just wanna make sure we
have eyes on him at all times.
629
00:34:13,652 --> 00:34:15,754
I see him right there.
630
00:34:26,364 --> 00:34:27,566
I'm just locking off.
631
00:34:27,699 --> 00:34:30,035
There's a couple
ledges right here
632
00:34:30,168 --> 00:34:33,338
that I can get down
to that are pretty wide.
633
00:34:33,471 --> 00:34:35,874
I think I'll be able to
stand pretty good on them.
634
00:34:36,007 --> 00:34:39,311
Hey, Keith, how deep does
it look like that opening goes?
635
00:34:40,512 --> 00:34:42,380
This crevice
that I'm at right now,
636
00:34:42,514 --> 00:34:46,418
I can see some rock fall that
has come down into this crevice,
637
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:48,086
but it looks like
I might be able
638
00:34:48,219 --> 00:34:50,255
to tuck up underneath
there a little ways.
639
00:34:50,388 --> 00:34:52,924
All right, sounds good.
640
00:34:53,058 --> 00:34:55,093
It looks like this
crevice goes back aways.
641
00:34:55,226 --> 00:34:56,761
There's lots of rock fall,
642
00:34:56,895 --> 00:34:58,539
but it looks like if I
go down just a little bit,
643
00:34:58,563 --> 00:34:59,764
I should be able to squeeze...
644
00:34:59,898 --> 00:35:01,709
It might be a little skinny
for someone my size,
645
00:35:01,733 --> 00:35:04,135
but I might be able to
look back there a little ways.
646
00:35:04,269 --> 00:35:07,072
Dropped down to this
lower ledge down here.
647
00:35:07,205 --> 00:35:10,008
This crevice looks a lot
bigger. It kind of undercuts.
648
00:35:10,141 --> 00:35:11,461
I'll see what's
right in that one.
649
00:35:14,145 --> 00:35:16,481
If there's a hole,
if there's an opening,
650
00:35:16,614 --> 00:35:18,650
then there may be a pathway,
651
00:35:18,817 --> 00:35:22,654
or they're purposely covered
back up and closed up
652
00:35:22,787 --> 00:35:24,723
so that one wouldn't even think
653
00:35:24,856 --> 00:35:26,725
it's something that
you can crawl into.
654
00:35:32,731 --> 00:35:34,342
There's a nice
platform right down here
655
00:35:34,366 --> 00:35:35,667
that I was able to stand on.
656
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,803
Pretty good size,
so I'm gonna look
657
00:35:38,937 --> 00:35:40,138
back into this crevice here.
658
00:35:40,271 --> 00:35:42,073
It kind of goes back.
659
00:35:42,207 --> 00:35:44,576
That sacred water
stone right there,
660
00:35:44,709 --> 00:35:46,277
and with what grandpa told us,
661
00:35:46,411 --> 00:35:49,347
there's probably
something here for us to find.
662
00:35:51,082 --> 00:35:53,027
It doesn't look
entirely natural. I don't know.
663
00:35:53,051 --> 00:35:55,253
It doesn't look like
any of the other ledges
664
00:35:55,387 --> 00:35:57,756
and cliff faces that
are right along here.
665
00:35:57,889 --> 00:36:01,192
Hey, Keith, let me know
what you're seeing up there.
666
00:36:01,326 --> 00:36:03,194
This crack
goes back quite a bit,
667
00:36:03,328 --> 00:36:05,163
and lots of rocks and
stuff have fallen down
668
00:36:05,296 --> 00:36:07,866
and definitely keeps going back.
669
00:36:07,999 --> 00:36:10,835
I'm gonna try and squeeze
into this crevice just a little bit.
670
00:36:10,969 --> 00:36:14,973
It kind of opens up down here
lower and then tucks back aways.
671
00:36:15,106 --> 00:36:19,077
Do you think if you took the backpack
off, you could fit in there better?
672
00:36:19,210 --> 00:36:22,013
Yeah, if I take
the backpack off,
673
00:36:22,147 --> 00:36:24,949
I should be able to
squeeze back a little bit.
674
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,388
All right, I'm seeing
an opening up here.
675
00:36:30,522 --> 00:36:34,692
I'm gonna get down here a little bit and
check it out and see how deep it goes.
676
00:36:34,826 --> 00:36:37,629
There's a crevice, and it looks
like it goes back further in there.
677
00:36:37,762 --> 00:36:42,567
It goes back at least four or five
feet before I can't see anymore.
678
00:36:44,836 --> 00:36:47,639
I can't see all the
way back there though.
679
00:36:57,348 --> 00:36:58,759
The Dillman team is exploring
680
00:36:58,783 --> 00:37:00,985
a crevice under the water glyph
681
00:37:01,119 --> 00:37:03,488
in search of a possible
chamber entrance.
682
00:37:03,621 --> 00:37:06,891
I can't see all the
way back there though.
683
00:37:11,963 --> 00:37:14,241
Looks like it might widen
up in there a little bit further,
684
00:37:14,265 --> 00:37:17,135
but I can't quite tell
with how dark it is.
685
00:37:17,268 --> 00:37:19,738
I can see a spot where it
would go underneath here,
686
00:37:19,871 --> 00:37:24,609
but I'm a little worried about just my
footing and how this rock is feeling,
687
00:37:24,742 --> 00:37:27,779
and I'm underneath a whole
bunch of kind of loose rock.
688
00:37:27,912 --> 00:37:31,950
Definitely be careful and
don't go too far, actually.
689
00:37:32,083 --> 00:37:37,155
Try to just get the images. So just take
some video, take some pictures, man.
690
00:37:37,288 --> 00:37:39,023
Safety right now is important.
691
00:37:39,157 --> 00:37:42,227
It got real narrow,
too narrow for me,
692
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,329
and it goes back a little ways.
693
00:37:44,462 --> 00:37:47,599
It just goes from there.
There's lots of fallen rocks.
694
00:37:47,732 --> 00:37:49,901
A lot of this rock
seems kind of loose.
695
00:37:50,034 --> 00:37:51,402
Let's get out of there, man.
696
00:37:51,536 --> 00:37:53,171
You got rocks above
you and below you.
697
00:37:53,304 --> 00:37:54,784
We've gotta figure
out our next steps,
698
00:37:54,873 --> 00:37:58,076
- so get out of there.
- Yeah. Thanks, bud.
699
00:37:58,209 --> 00:38:00,879
So we need to
take all of this data,
700
00:38:01,012 --> 00:38:03,581
the photos, the video, and
we need to look through it.
701
00:38:03,715 --> 00:38:05,950
We need to see if
it in fact is showing
702
00:38:06,084 --> 00:38:09,754
that we've got something
worthy of investigating further.
703
00:38:20,765 --> 00:38:25,036
This stuff is amazing.
Look at all these bones here.
704
00:38:25,170 --> 00:38:26,504
Looks like a T-Rex right there.
705
00:38:26,638 --> 00:38:28,273
Gabriel and his father Ramon
706
00:38:28,406 --> 00:38:30,441
are on their way to
meet with an archeologist
707
00:38:30,575 --> 00:38:32,310
to have a recent find examined.
708
00:38:32,443 --> 00:38:35,113
- It's good to see you again.
- Yeah, nice to see you again.
709
00:38:35,246 --> 00:38:36,714
While digging in the Fire Pit,
710
00:38:36,848 --> 00:38:39,551
they unearthed what they
believe to be a piece of pottery.
711
00:38:39,684 --> 00:38:41,986
If it dates back to
the conquistadors,
712
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:46,090
it could be further evidence that
they are digging in the right area.
713
00:38:46,224 --> 00:38:48,502
We found something out in
the desert that I'd like your opinion on.
714
00:38:48,526 --> 00:38:50,995
This piece right here really
intrigued me, you know?
715
00:38:51,129 --> 00:38:54,265
It was something that
I'd never seen before.
716
00:38:56,568 --> 00:38:58,036
Huh.
717
00:39:01,105 --> 00:39:03,465
- Where'd you say you find it?
- Kind of central New Mexico.
718
00:39:06,945 --> 00:39:09,080
But, um...
719
00:39:18,389 --> 00:39:19,991
It doesn't break.
720
00:39:21,059 --> 00:39:23,061
You know what it is?
721
00:39:23,194 --> 00:39:25,730
Yeah, a crucible is to melt
some kind of ore in there.
722
00:39:25,864 --> 00:39:27,131
Correct.
723
00:39:27,265 --> 00:39:29,534
That seems pretty small
to me to be a crucible.
724
00:39:29,667 --> 00:39:31,387
What would they use
something like that for?
725
00:39:36,307 --> 00:39:38,810
That was only used
for just sampling.
726
00:39:41,212 --> 00:39:42,747
Oh.
727
00:39:43,781 --> 00:39:44,882
- Oh, wow.
- Yeah.
728
00:39:54,525 --> 00:39:55,525
Right.
729
00:40:13,011 --> 00:40:14,011
Mm-hmm.
730
00:40:20,485 --> 00:40:22,687
We know that
cousin Johnny found a gold bar,
731
00:40:22,820 --> 00:40:24,088
and we just found a crucible
732
00:40:24,222 --> 00:40:26,024
on the spot that we
believe he was digging.
733
00:40:26,157 --> 00:40:28,359
You know, I think that
we're onto something.
734
00:40:28,493 --> 00:40:32,864
Is it safe to say that there's probably
gold bars buried throughout the Southwest?
735
00:40:47,011 --> 00:40:48,722
If they were pouring
gold bars on this site,
736
00:40:48,746 --> 00:40:50,157
they had to have a
place to store them.
737
00:40:50,181 --> 00:40:51,783
They would've buried it deep,
738
00:40:51,916 --> 00:40:53,676
and we're gonna need
all of our equipment now
739
00:40:53,785 --> 00:40:55,586
to dig down and find out.
740
00:40:58,323 --> 00:41:01,759
Next on "Lost
Gold of the Aztecs"...
741
00:41:03,161 --> 00:41:04,405
We think there's a grave.
742
00:41:04,429 --> 00:41:06,898
We're gonna first figure
out if it is a crime scene.
743
00:41:07,031 --> 00:41:10,635
Obviously, if it is, the
whole world's gonna change.
744
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,705
- Is that a bone?
- Yeah.
745
00:41:13,838 --> 00:41:15,249
I'm bringing
in all the equipment
746
00:41:15,273 --> 00:41:16,750
because we found
some really hard evidence
747
00:41:16,774 --> 00:41:18,276
that the Spanish were here.
748
00:41:18,409 --> 00:41:23,414
A little tricky to get
this thing up in this pit.
749
00:41:24,782 --> 00:41:27,852
Today we're
bringing in a geophysicist.
750
00:41:27,986 --> 00:41:31,189
So what we found is an area
that could potentially be a chamber.
751
00:41:31,322 --> 00:41:34,959
This is big. This
looks like it right here.
752
00:41:35,093 --> 00:41:38,162
Just finding a portion
of Montezuma's treasure...
753
00:41:38,296 --> 00:41:39,807
Hey, Dad, you wanna come
check this out?
754
00:41:39,831 --> 00:41:42,867
Finding one artifact in Utah...
755
00:41:42,967 --> 00:41:44,902
This looks like
it's a massive chamber.
756
00:41:45,036 --> 00:41:46,404
Would rewrite history.
757
00:41:46,428 --> 00:41:48,428
