Hope you don't mind Jason but here's a description form About.com regarding what the passive voice is:
The passive voice involves a sentence construction in which the performer of the action isn't stated, and in which the action is indicated by a form of "to be" (ser in Spanish) followed by a past participle, and in which the subject of the sentence is the one acted upon.
So your new sentence in the passive voice could be:
One finds a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. or perhaps a more natural wayt to put it would be - A pot of gold can be found at the end of the rainbow.
but remember it should be given in Spanish -
Una olla de oro se encuentra al final del arco iris.
