I didn’t realize the Lost Duchman mine was located just outside Miami.
Growing up, I could see Weaver’s Needle from my back yard. There were a lot of very successful mines over the last 150 years. My hometown, Superior had the Magma Mine, the Silver King, Silver Queen, LS&A (Lake Superior and Arizona Mine - thus the name of the town and a great place to play, I thought), and the Belmont (a gold mine). Miami and Globe had almost a dozen different mines.
The Superstitions, at least the part most often searched, don’t really have the geology in which one would expect an ore body. Superior was near Picket Post Mountain, an ancient and now eroded volcanic plug. There were many mineralized areas and several viable ore bodies near it.

I always heard that the Dutchman had stumbled on a cache of stolen ore and never really had a mine. Was always fascinated with the story though.
