Treasure hunter and author Ron Quinn had been searching for lost Spanish treasures in Southern Arizona for decades.

In the 1980s, Ron, his brother, and friends finally unearthed a medium-size treasure south of Tucson, Arizona, which consisted of 82 pounds of Spanish gold bullion.

Other trips were made throughout the years, where they discovered the mysterious "Doorway to the Gods," and other odd experiences, as related in Ron's journal of their two-year odyssey around the mountains of Arivca and Tumacacori, Arizona where Spanish Conquistadores reportedly hid hordes of gold bullion.

Ron QuinnThis manuscript recounts the wild adventures my brother Chuck and I had during our odyssey across the deserts and barren mountains of Southern Arizona near Tubac, Tumacacori and Arivaca.

We camped out for two years while treasure hunting, exploring and living a life few would undertake today. We met some of the most colorful characters imaginable fighting the harsh environment and gaining two lifelong friends, Roy Purdie and Walt Fisher. We heard tales from old Indians and Mexican vaqueros— some bordering on the “Twilight Zone.”

Some of my articles have appeared in various publications including Arizona Highways, Southern Arizona Trails, Fate magazine and a number of newspapers. The Tucson Citizen, a local newspaper, ran several stories about our adventures.
