The Iron Door Mine Quest
"Esmeralda," from an album of songs written and performed by Gary Holdcroft. An original ballad about the legendary Mine with the Iron Door in the Santa Catalina Mountains, north of Tucson, Arizona. Esmeralda is the name of one of the lost mines. The Lost Escalante Mine is another lost mine legend. The CD will be available for sale soon, along with a book on the legends and history of the Santa Catalina Mountains. The Mine with the Iron Door has been one of the most extensively hunted lost mines in North America. Movies and books have glorified the legend. It's real riches have yet to be revealed. That legend, though, may have some truth buried with those treasures. Some people over the centuries have claimed to discover its location. The exact spot of this treasure has never been documented. This is the study of an existing legend that staggers the imagination and dwarfs the scholarly researcher. In less than a few hours from a bustling million inhabitants of the modern city of Tucson, Arizona, lies slumbering the centuries old legend the Iron Door Mine and its fabulous treasure. Centuries of production in gold and silver bullion still lie concealed in a mine of equal value. To date, estimated mineral reserves in the general area in the Santa Catalina Mountains alone would pay the national debt twice over.
Research today alludes to the fact the century of power struggles for wealth and priceless riches of the past still exist and function on very large levels of lawlessness, intrigue and espionage. Years of dangerous and tiring research have started to pyramid and the puzzle is expanding as it's being pieces together. So, far, its the most powerful story of a history never taught in any classroom, except the school of "hard knocks." This also has the potential for being another Fort Knox in golden stories and bullion. Read more about the story of the Iron Door Mine.
