- Synopsis
- Join the Search for Lost TreasureFirst popularized by folklorist and author J. Frank Dobie in his book Apache Gold and Yaqui Silver in 1928, the legend of the Lost Adams Diggings is one of the most mythologized tales of lost treasure on the continent. In the 1860s, Gold was taken from Adams&’ canyon in enormous quantities, with nuggets ranging from dust-size to some as large as hen&’s eggs, all being plucked from the bottom of a shallow stream. This true story of the Lost Adams Diggings starts with the discovery of the rich deposit of gold in a remote mountain range, and ends with the author&’s own story of search and discovery in the twentieth century.
