The Dutchman's Secret is a 1999 comic by Don Rosa, serving as a sequel to The Vigilante Of Pizen Bluff chapter of The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, and was originally published in the Danish Anders And Co, while the first U.S publication was Uncle Scrooge #319 in 2003. The story revolves around the search for the legendary Lost Dutchman's Mine, using a map given to Scrooge by fellow prospector Jacob Waltz in 1890.

comment
Non-Indicative Name: The Lost Dutchman's Mine was neither owned by a Dutchman (Jacob Waltz was German), nor was it an actual mine, since the treasure consisted of gold ore that had been mined out of the mountains centuries ago.

Cluster F-Bomb: A PG-rated version done with Symbol Swearing, but Scrooge let's out a long string of profanities that echo across the mountains when he hears that the Pima tribe are the rightful owners of the Dutchman's gold.

 The Dutchman's Secret (Comic Book) / int_3aec9e5e
comment
Properly Paranoid: Since he couldn't guard the gold, Jacob Waltz never filed a claim on it. Instead, he defaced the Peralta petroglyph map, and spred false clues along with the real ones, as well as a sign by the pit trap identifying it as the entrance to the lost mine (which it technically was, just not one most intruders would survive). The results speak for itself - in the near-century since Jacob left for the last time, countless treasure hunters tried and failed to find the mine, with several falling prey to the pit.

comment
Hidden in Plain Sight: The entrance to the mine is in plain sight of both the hiking trail and Weaver's Needle (a famous rock formation), but it's so high up that the cave just looks like shadows from a cliff even with the sun right on it.

It's the Journey That Counts: The nephews think this is the reason why Scrooge looks so happy even though he lost the mine. While the adventure didn't hurt, Donald thinks the finder's fee is the main contributor.

The Savage Indian: Back in the 19th century, the area was Apache territory, who were the reason trying to find the mine was so dangerous. Among others, they wiped out the Peralta expidition and killed Jacob's partner.

Sticky Situation
 The Dutchman's Secret (Comic Book) / int_acd7e590
comment
Sticky Situation: The glue Hortense used for the scrap book causes no end of trouble for the Ducks. It's incredibly strong (containing among other things whale oil and ox hooves), and almost impossible to budge once it's set, at least without destroying whatever it's sticking to. The only way to get loose is to use fresh glue to loosen up the first layer.

comment
Moral Myopia: After leaving the Ducks stuck in the mine, Moe suddenly realizes that he never checked the crate to see if Scrooge actually put gold in it, and kicks himself for being "such a nice, trusting guy". Much to his joy, there IS gold in it, because unlike Moe, Scrooge keeps his word. However, Scrooge is also not an idiot, so instead he booby-trapped the crate with glue and a message revealing Moe's crime to anyone who sees him, leading to his swift arrest.

Good Shepherd: Fransisco Chino, the Jesuit priest who protected the Pimas from the invading Conquistadors, and convinced them to hide their gold in the old cliff settlement, in the hopes that their descendants would be able to benefit from it in peace. His work bore fruit thanks to Scrooge, almost 300 years later.
