New Mexico Confidential is the kind of book serious researchers wish there were more of — methodical, disciplined, and unapologetically thorough. Rather than chasing legends at face value, Steve dismantles them systematically, bringing the same exacting scrutiny to a long-lost 1930s cache site near Santa Rita, a 16th century Spanish gold mine buried somewhere in the Pinos Altos Range, and a question that has haunted Southwest treasure research for generations: has this corner of the American continent quietly served as a repository for the world's gold since the age of King Solomon?
This is not armchair speculation dressed up as research. It is the product of genuine investigative work, both in the archives and in the field — the kind that builds its conclusions brick by brick from documented evidence, historical record, and hard-won field knowledge. For anyone serious about understanding how treasure research is properly conducted, New Mexico Confidential sets a standard worth studying.
