Legend of the Superstition Mountains

The program is entertaining. Truth or writers taking leave way it doesn't matter. I'll still watch if it is renewed. Also, the remarks concerning 'The Curse of Oak Island' is way off base. You need to go to Oak Island do the research look around and talk to the brothers. I wonder how many people would spend over 3 million dollars of their OWN money to try and fool those who watch the program. Use your head and go there. You will have a different outlook after doing your homework. It could also be said that you could do the same type of research on 'The Legends of Superstition Mountain' and you might come out with a different attitude also. The known errors or misrepresentations from the writers of this show could be proved so as to clear up the water so to speak. But all in all, it is still an intriguing myth/legend. Relax and chill, you may find out you could actually be entertained. Please bring back the show!!!

I have lived within miles of the Superstition Mountains for 20 years and have studied the stories. Anyone who lives out by the mountains knows that the military uses the river and lakes for flight testing and training almost everyday. Not to mention that a facility that builds the Apache helicopter is about 10 - 15 miles away from them. To see an apache or Blackhawk helicopter is very common out here, that is why they keep seeing the helicopters flying around. Oh, and the so called secret Peralta map, anyone can see it at the Goldfield museum. Just a desperate attempt to take a legendary mine and make some money. I have known many people that spent years looking for the mine and have never seen or heard of half the things this show talks about. Not impressed at all by this show.

Anybody watching the show would think these guys searched "far and wide" for this treasure, in truth EVERY second of filming is within a 20 minute drive. As somebody who vacations in the area, and knows it well, all the locations searched by these hunters are on a 20 minute ride down either route 60 toward Picket Post mountain, or straight down Route 88 - 'the Old West highway', from Apache Junction, through Goldfield, and ending up at Canyon Lake in Tortilla Flat. And the 'characters' they interview all have ulterior motives - no mention that Clay Worst owns the Old Wasp mine in Goldfield that gets a few ounces of gold a week and that his mine is for sale, or Bob Snoose who owns the Goldfield Ghost town attraction, also still works the Black Queen mine in Goldfield as well. Best part was when they went to the Bluebird mine and gift shop, nobody interviewed Louis or John who run the place, as they both would have laughed these guys off the property as more idiots looking for what was found 125 years ago, which was the Bulldog mine.

Why did the crew stop after only six episodes? Did one of key participants die or just decided enough was enough after bat guano? I was involved deeply into last episode 6, I believe because of decision to go up that ladder into the old gold mine covered in bat guano. I felt the fear of the guy that climbed up the ladder. Because I felt it, too! Lots of silly questions that don't make sense to keep my interest and watch all six episodes. Cray cray!

This comes off as 100 percent contrived with poor acting and a script desperate to fill time. One tends to think that it was written by the same people who brought us Al Capone's vault with Geraldo Rivera. It would have been far better if they didn't script the presentation. They have a good subject. All they had to do was present the facts and show the incredible landscape then it would have been interesting. Their attempt to jump on the "reality show" band wagon is where their problems begin. Not all information is suited to be presented in a reality show format. Sound research and a linear/historical presentation of this information would have made for a far better show.
