Lost Arizona Treasure

Arizona's buried treasures and forgotten mines are just waiting to be rediscovered.

The Aztecs reportedly hid gold and other valuables worth millions across the southwest to keep it from the Spaniards hundreds of years ago, but nothing has ever been recovered. The famous Lost Dutchman mine captured attention and claimed multiple lives since its discovery in the Superstition Mountains, and it's just one of many mines lost to history and shifting landscapes. More recently, rumors spread that over $1 million in cash from the 1977 robbery of Marjorie Jackson is still hidden somewhere north of Phoenix.
