Three hundred years have not sufficed to eradicate the notion that enormous treasures are concealed within the Fortress; nor have three hundred years of excavation, more or less constant, entirely discouraged the searchers for tapadas. In making our surveys of the work and of the Rodadero many...

When I was a young buck, I used to always visit my dad in Arizona. I always heard about the Lost Dutchman Mine in the Superstition Mountain. Legends have been something I've always been interesting. It's something I would be interested in looking for, as well. Would it be worth it? If I would...

So I'm back to treasure hunting and I bought a very nice brass pendulum for pretty cheap that even has a chamber (which is what I have always wanted) and I had also purchased a gold sample that is even native from my own state. I guess my question is this: I'm going to start adjusting myself to...
