Aztec Empire came to an end at the hands of Conquistador Hernan Cortes but not before Emperor Montezuma, and his people, were able to sneak their mass amounts of wealth north to seven separate locations in what is now the American Southwest. For five centuries, thousands have searched for Montezuma’s treasure and the 7 Cities of Gold. The treasure is believed to be made up of an enormous quantity of gold bars, silver, precious stones, jewelry, and other Aztec artifacts. Historians estimate the value of all of these items to be worth over $3 billion dollars.
Lost Gold of the Aztecs follows three families determined to break the 500-year-old curse of Emperor Montezuma and find the treasure. The series will intercut each family’s epic adventure as they search for the 7 Cities of Gold on three different properties in three different states – the Dillmans in Utah, the Hoaglands in Nevada, and the Villescases in New Mexico. Who will be the first to find the Aztec Gold?

Wow, a pottery shard & piece of worked obsidian found in Southern Utah. Imagine that!! Such ground breaking evidence that people had once been there..Anyone with eyes on the ground who has ever walked , hiked or lived in southern Utah could'nt miss the pottery shards or obsidian/ chert flakes & tools scattered about..After all how many generations & thousands of years have people who made such tools & implements lived in this same area, at least 2-4k years or more that pottery has been commonplace, & 14k ++ years for stone tools, I can't help but wonder just who these lowbrow forms of revisionist history TV shows are actually created for? Old hald senile housebound geezers like myself, who actually live in the Southwest and intimately explored this beautiful landscape all my life with indigenous kin & ancestors. Gold fever TV is in it's golden hay-day season right now, Mining for gold, looking for lost treasure, dreams of unimaginable wealth depicting greed beyond the pale. On top of that bull dozing, drillling , altering manipulating the manscape just for the sake of some fantasy TV series..To simply give the Indigenous people some respect & dignity & stopping the desecration of sacred & habitation sites along with the creation of such story lines & false narratives...Is this asking too much? To enlighten the dumbed down populace could be accomplished in so many more valuable ways.

Perhaps they should read some history on Cortez written not long after the conquest. Cortez's cousin's Cuauhtemoc who became emperor after Montezuma's death told Cortez that he dump the treasure into lake Texcoco, which surrounded Tenochtitlan (Present day Mexico City).

I like the fact that they assumed right away that there's a tunnel. Ever heard of groundwater?
-
Water entering caverns usually are connected one to another. Fed by ground water here. Aztec's used the blue dye believed to have been carried from Georgia State to South America.

It could be or it could just be the water source that's feeding everything
-
Aztecs traded through the Southwest it's no secret here.

I know somebody who found a paddle in Nevada. It didn’t have obsidian on it. It was 2.5-3 feet long and made out of very hard wood.

I live in southern Utah near Kanab and I know dozens of places you can find pottery. The Kanab area was thriving with Natives hundreds of years ago. It’s no surprise that they found theses items.

Great video and information !
-
Your pottery is Anasazi, not Aztec, and the obsidian, from the color and sheen, appears to be from the area of the Milford power plant. A Humboldt point of local origin. If it were Aztec it would be green and bladelike. That said, I hope you find the gold!
