The Lost Dutchman Gold Mine has been the stuff of legend for decades. The owner of the mine, made rich by its export, took its location with him to the grave (1891). Those who have gone searching for it risk their lives in the sprawling Superstition Mountains, one of the nation's most deadly recreational areas.
This photo, is likely the closest I will ever come to finding the goldmine myself.
