The Lost Dutchman is perhaps the most famous lost gold mine in American history. The mine is named after German immigrant Jacob Waltz (c. 1810–1891), who purportedly discovered it in the Superstition Mountains during the 19th century and kept its location a secret until his death. People have been searching for the Lost Dutchman’s mine since at least 1892. According to one estimate, 8,000 people annually participate in the hunt, and it hasn’t been found yet…. You could be the one! Come and hear this fascinating tale of mystery, a buried treasure, and, some say, murder, under the blazing Arizona sun.
