I think the tub was found after extensive search at yankee hill . Frank was I think a participant. It was a huge amount of gold coins. The Columbia cashe is estimated by records at over $600,000 in privately minted Gold coins. Their worth today is awesome to think about. I spent considerable time searching for this one and it came down to not being able to trace the bandits trail east of Columbia. Your NERS maybe the key to this one. HH Rob
