Long Tom's treasure

Long Tom's treasure is a legend in American folklore said to have taken place in the Grand Canyon of Arizona, four miles west of the Tanner immigrant trail, near a Havasupai village.

While returning home on Horse Thief Trail from Moran Point, Watson sighted a waterfall, after hiking to it he found a cave behind the water and entered it.

Inside he discovered an unspecified amount of gold nuggets but as Watson was about to leave, he slipped, fell, and broke his leg.

Leaving the gold behind, Long Tom Watson crawled his way to the nearby Buggeln Ranch.

Watson later recovered from his injury and began a new search but he could not find the waterfall and ended up committing suicide.
