Legend of the Superstition Mountains

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!

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.

This show comes across as contrived and fake. The scenery is beautiful, hence the 5-star rating. The script and the acting are both clumsy, perhaps an attempt to add realism to this pretender. You'll find the Lost Dutchman before you find a nugget here.

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.

Cigar chomping, gun slapping with more testosterone than brains. Like the pro- wrestling of treasure hunting but not as believable.
