Treasure Hunt
The Peralta Treasure Maps (Peralta Stones) will be on exhibit at this year's Flagg Gem and Mineral Show. The Arizona Mineral and Mining Museum Foundation (sponsor of the Gem and Mineral Show) is the owner of the stones. They were on exhibit at the first Flagg Gem and Mineral Show in 1970. Since then they have been stored in several places but have not been on public exhibit except by special arrangement. The Mesa Southwest Museum has a replica of the stones in their exhibit about the Lost Dutchman. These three controversial stone tablets are believed by many to be maps to a Peralta silver treasure. Other folks think they are clues about some lost gold mine, and they have even been related to the Lost Dutchman Mine.
