The Lost Dutchman - Mine

For more than 120 years, the legend of the Lost Dutchman Mine has haunted the minds and souls of treasure seekers throughout the world. It is said to be the most famous lost mine of all time, and to this day it continues to draw prospectors to the Superstition Mountains of Arizona in search of its rich gold.
But in 1952, the infamous "Peralta" stone tablet maps were discovered in the foothills of the Superstition Mountains by a man on vacation with his family. These stone maps have been authenticated by more than one authority as being more than 100 years old. Treasure hunters & Gold Miners alike still search for the treasure to this day.
