Came across an Arizona treasure legend once. According to the story, the Jesuits when expelled or recalled by Spain from Arizona territory, they cached gold treasure in the Superstition Mts. Legend states the gold was hidden in three tunnels on three mines. First you will need to find 3 old mines close together in the Superstitions.

You mean you haven't found it? I can come to two conclusions: either it's not there or your map dowsing needs a big overhaul.

No, don't plan on it either. A person already went to check it out. They slipped on loose rock trying to get down to an opening might have been an entrance. Put a scratch on their thermal imaging camera.

Search actually was to locate lost Dutchman mine. People found and worked out 1 shaft (late 1800s?). Another shaft the Apache filled part full of rocks and put branches or small trees down it. Now we don't know which mines are here, It's a hostile, dangerous and deadly terrain... must be reason NF service wanted area mines taken off the maps.
