We would not have believed it ourselves had it not been for the overwhelming evidence we found. This story not only actually happened, but it took place in 1863, in the wild and rugged Black Range of New Mexico. For those of you who know the story well, you are in for a surprise.The Black Range, once referred to as "The Devil Mountains" by the Spanish had long hidden this lost gold mine from the outside world, along with other dark secrets, for well over a century. When Larry Ditzer and I first began searching some of the higher elevations of New Mexico's wild and rugged Black Range for an old Spanish cannon, once seen there by cowboy Walt Nichols in the 1950s, we sure never dreamed it would eventually lead us to the location of the famous Lost Adams Diggings. The location of the Lost Adams Diggings is in one of the roughest and most treacherous places to get around in the Black Range we had ever been.
