The story of Adams, a freighter, that was shown a canyon full of gold nuggets somewhere in the Arizona or New Mexico border area. He was the only one of the expedition to survive to tell about it. The canyon has not been found again.

    Everyday I am left to wonder just how much Gold and treasure is still untouched in the states of New Mexico and Arizona. You reconize how many stories consist of gold and valubles to the Lure but how much is truely out there still stays on my mind because of the Lure of the adventure to find it. Stories of gold hidden in caves or valubles buried beneath the ground due to men tortureing men over finding it to claim it. My weeryness catches up with me due to knowing that treasure lies within the mountains of people not knowing it’s there. Such gold story I seek is the area of Rio Rico Arizona. There are 7 treasure legends within this gold laden area of wealth that few people know about. Your going to find something if you keep your curiosity in this area because of the gold thats in the mountains and buried somewhere in the ground.

    Also in such a place the Malpais, actually would have cinder cones that form in such geological areas. Malpais = Lava formation. While Cinder Cones form in Such lava places. That’s how this case goes about where they were precisely in New Mexico

    Not a real exciting opening on this video

    The word “Malpais” has to do with a lava bed and here the rock is red that starts on in the flats and then stares up at a Mesa in a box canyon that has an incline up and zig zags due to water runoff. Becomes slot canyon also at times to enter such a box canyon. – that’s the geology of its location.

    Gold was never found! It was about stealing Native land.

    1973 I was in Prescott VA a couple weeks with Delbert Light. Exxon station Winslow. He was an Exxon explorer… He found the hearth. It was in New Mexico. Indian showed him. Said there was a pencil eraser size nugget in the hearth still to this day unless someone got grabby… He explained a lot of found treasure. Lady from new Jersey drinking at the wagon wheel Chino valley in the 80s said she had info on the wickenburg stage Robbery… She came in with gold rounds and we never saw her again..

    I’ve heard this story before even from older family members from new Mexico and Arizona thanks it’s fantastic

    A canyon full of gold nuggets sounds like the Doc Thorne deposit. I wonder if the two stories are related.

    The Lost Adam Digging has already been found, I saw a documentary that show the actually flag stone where the cabin sit in the bottom of the Canyon. It was actually just where the cabin sit.

    Let’s go!

    It’s how it was, Gold used to be found above ground, all gone now. Now you gotta dig for it since the hills have been scoured for the easy pickins. Indigenous people seemed to have boundaries but didn’t view the lands as personal property per-se. And Gold obviously viewed quite differently that westerners, risking their lives in the early days and often paying the price.

    This was found years ago. It’s listed on the NM geological and state engineer map.

  16. Matthew Maxcy on January 27, 2023 at 3:45 am

    Anyone know the town or area the fort was where they ended up and guy killed the 2 apache

  17. Native Pride on January 27, 2023 at 3:45 am

    I found this area on google maps on satellite view and I came across something very interesting

  18. GrizZ Wald on January 27, 2023 at 3:46 am

    Let’s find it.

  19. Todd Eaton on January 27, 2023 at 3:46 am

    Would 300lbs of gold be about the size of a beach ball?

    From the warm springs apache village, opposite the chiefs caves is a seasonal creek bed descending to a flat area matching this descrip, at the bottom of that is what looks like a big anthill inside which is a round pool of water plugged by an immersed gold sphere appearing to be about this size.
    From there on the valley is filled with dirt until terminating at a solid rock vertical wall on the river, and the only approach & descent to the river from the plain to the south is across a great hill of coarse red stones.

    How much would that much gold be worth today?

  20. Duane Short on January 27, 2023 at 3:52 am

    I KNOW WHERE THAT MINE IS AT ITS ON PHELPS DODGE MINING PROPERTY GOLD NUGETS SIZE OF HEN EGGS APACHES WOULD KILL THEM

  21. B. R. Atkins on January 27, 2023 at 3:53 am

    Geronimo the great indian said the richest gold was in the Guadalupe mountains.

  22. AV Adams on January 27, 2023 at 4:00 am

    Good summary of one of the main accounts. There’s a lot more to the search that Adams and others engaged in later after the danger subsided. Quite a few put their stock in this area where Ron spent many, many years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw8vH65nxrA The Books "Black Range Tales" and "Yaqui Gold and Apache Silver" have a lot of this, and were both written by people of the same time, or close to it.

    The algorithm is working

  24. Iggnant1 on January 27, 2023 at 4:04 am

    I’m gonna go find it.

  25. james terrell on January 27, 2023 at 4:05 am

    Have you heard of the Guadalupe mountains Indian mine?

  26. Bill Luney on January 27, 2023 at 4:08 am
