From Absolute History.

The legend of the Rocky Mountain gold is one of mystery and peril, with a fortune in gold bullion estimated at $33 million believed to be hidden in the untamed wilderness. This treasure, marked only by a cryptic map, has been the target of countless treasure hunters over nearly 200 years. However, the pursuit has proven deadly, with many succumbing to disease, violence, and mysterious events attributed to a curse. From the ill-fated French expedition of the 1790s to modern-day seekers, the allure of unimaginable wealth continues to claim lives, leaving the treasure tantalizingly out of reach and shrouded in mystery.
