Join the Search for Lost Treasure First 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.
