Southwest Gold Mysteries: 4 Lost Mines and Buried Fortunes

Hey Everyone, ✤ Welcome to “Southwest Desert”✤ Southwest gold mysteries still haunt the deserts, dunes, mountains, and underground caves of Arizona, Texas, and California. In this compilation, we explore four lost mines and buried fortunes involving rich ore discovered and then lost to the desert, a prospector who fooled trackers for years, a horn silver windbreak worth millions, and $62,000 in railroad gold hidden in a limestone cave that has never been recovered. In this episode of Southwest Desert, we follow four remarkable lost gold and buried treasure stories. First is the Lost Posa Gold of Arizona, where the owner of the Planet Mine rode drunk through the Quartzsite Dunes, collapsed unconscious in the sand, and was rescued carrying two black rocks later assayed at $750 per ton in gold, silver, and copper. Despite two weeks of searching by the Butler brothers and the dead man's brother, the little black hill where the ore was found has never been relocated. Next comes the story of Ben Sublett and the Guadalupe Mountains, one of the most enduring lost gold legends in West Texas, where a man dismissed as a delusional drifter emerged from the mountains again and again with extraordinary gold nuggets, evaded professional trackers with counter-surveillance techniques honed over years, and took the exact location of his rich placer deposit to his grave in 1892. Then we travel to the Mojave Desert with the story of Quartz Wilson and the Lost Wilson Mine, where a prospector built a crude windbreak from rocks that turned out to be horn silver ore assaying at $15,000 per ton, documented every landmark with precision, and then lost the entire location after near-fatal heat exposure on the return journey. Subsequent searches by professional investors, a Chemehuevi Indian guide, and regional experts across 140 years have all failed. Finally, we descend underground into Colossal Cave east of Tucson, where four train robbers stole $62,000 in Southern Pacific Railroad gold in one of the most audacious heists of the Old West, hid it deep in a limestone cave, slipped out through a hidden second entrance while the posse camped outside for two weeks, and left behind one convicted bandit who spent 28 years in Yuma Territorial Prison refusing to reveal where the gold was buried. When he was released in 1912, he vanished completely and was never seen again. These Southwest gold mysteries reveal why lost mine legends and buried treasure stories never die.
