Long Tom's treasure In 1910 "Long Tom" Watson found papers in a
cabin written by outlaws. The papers described a cache of stolen
gold hidden behind a seasonal waterfall in the canyon. Beginning
in 1912, Watson searched the area until spring of 1914 when he
decided to give up. While returning home on Horse Thief Trail
from Morgan 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
Buggelin Ranch. Watson later recovered from his injury and began
a new search but he could not find the waterfall and ended up
committing suicide.
