The Erie Canal, which flows between Buffalo and Albany for 363 miles, was completed in 1825 to connect New York City and the Hudson Valley with the Great Lakes. Remnants of the canal, including its toll stations, maintenance buildings, and locks, still exist today, which still yield precious artifacts and, on occasion, some old coins.
Albany was discovered in 1609 by Henry Hudson, where Fort Nassau, a Dutch settlement's fortified trading post and warehouse, was built in 1614 on Castle Island (known today as Westerio Island). A massive influx of colonists from Denmark, Germany, Holland, Norway, and Scotland arrived and built Fort Orange in 1619. More people came and occupied the village of Beverwyck, the area surrounding Fort Orange. British forces captured Beverwyck and renamed it Albany in 1664. In 1777, the British attacked the hilltop military post on State Street called Fort Frederick opposite Fort George, which was situated on the same street at the foot of the hill. A colonial hospital where injured Patriots who fought in the Revolution, stood at the corner of Lodge and Pine Streets. The surrounding region is home to many historic ruins of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
The site of Fort Mohave near Mohave Springs and around 20 miles due east of Lake Havasu City in Mohave County, is said to play host to a sizable gold nugget cache. Fort Mohave was burned down in 1861, to deny Confederate forces control of the fort. It was then rebuilt in 1863, and the new Fort Mohave served until the year 1890. The gold cache is said to be buried underneath the ruins of a carpenter shop on the north side of the fort.
In the ruins of old San Bernardino Hacienda, which lies on Robber’s Roost just south of the town of Tombstone, there are reports of still remaining hidden treasure. These reports are substantiated by a discovery in 1967, when a treasure hunter unearthed an iron kettle, buried right next to this site, which turned out to be containing around 20 pounds of gold nuggets!
The San Xavier Mine can be found on the Santa Cruz River.
