10. Lost Adams Diggings: To find a canyon wall that cries tears of gold you will need to map yourself a route to the Lost Adams Diggings in western New Mexico. It was in the early 1860s when Adams made his trek to the area.
Guided along the White River and into the White Mountains, Adams and his crew of miners found gold nuggets that hidden “in a corn-grinding basin.”
Although Adams left the mine on the second night, the miners stayed when they were brutally attacked and killed by Apache Indians.
Tales say that Adams was never able to find his gold canyon again.
