looking at the desert in Yuma i heard tales of lost gold…?

I know if gold was buried in the desert people would be looking for it. But looking at some of the tall land marks, if I were a cowboy that wanted to hid gold, I would hid it close to those mountain tops.

Well, I doubt there’s much gold in the Yuma area, but I do remember a few other tails of outlaws hiding loot in other areas of Arizona. I visited a cave near Tucson not too long ago where the tour guide told us an interesting story of someone robbing a bank, storing the loot in the cave, then later being chased to the cave by the sheriff. The sheriff found the mouth of the cave and waited for the robber to come out, but the robber managed to find his way out of another exit.

I don’t know exactly how people traveled west other than specific trail routs and times, but if you got a map of populated areas over time I’d imagine the amount of hidden treasures would overlay this. Keep in mind though, one mans trash is another’s treasure, so you might be finding more “trash” than treasure.

I don’t know of any book on specific things being hidden in places, the best bet would be old criminal records, which would give a vague idea where the items might have been stowed. There are, however, books on treasure hunting, like with metal detectors and so forth.
