Lost Treasure and Dimensional Anomalies: The Legend of the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine (Episode #51)

The legend of the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine is said to have originated with Jacob Waltz, a German immigrant known as "The Dutchman". The legend says that Waltz discovered a rich vein of gold somewhere in the Superstition Mountains during the 1870s. On his deathbed in 1891, Waltz reportedly revealed the mine's location to Julia Thomas, a neighbor who had cared for him in his final days. Countless treasure hunters have searched for his mine and some have never returned, which according to legend is due to a curse. Where is the Dutchman’s Lost Gold Mine? Is it cursed? Does it only exist in another dimension? Or in a different timeline?
