Lost Cucaracha Mine Unearthed by Frank Davis in Mexico
Frank E. Davis, a San Francisco mining enthusiast, rediscovered the legendary Cucaracha Mine in Nayarit after years of searching. The ancient Spaniards sealed the entrance before abandoning the site during Diaz era unrest, and the cavern walls housed vast cockroach populations as Davis explored the ruins. The vein measured over 16 feet wide and rich with silver and gold, once worked by Spanish parties near Cortez.
