Title: “Fort Huachuca Gold”

Description:

In this episode of Forgotten Fortunes, we journey into the shadowed canyons of southern Arizona and explore one of the West’s most enduring legends: a soldier’s claim to a hidden chamber of gold beneath Fort Huachuca. Did Pvt. Robert Jones really stumble into a trove of ingots? Or is this just another tall tale in the desert night? We’ll sift through archival accounts, newspaper reports, and modern investigations to separate gold from dust.
