Bill Landry video about J. Swift treasure

[heveemetal]

There is a video interview by Bill Landry of several people, researchers, and historians of the JS treasure legend. One older gentleman says that he actually found a keg of silver coins and shows a picture of a few of these coins to Bill. Very interesting!

I'd have to see a picture of the keg with the coins and then I probably still wouldn't believe it...lol. Welcome to tnet metal.

Here is a link to it . Tells the story of the swift silver mine. Look at the 7:00 and it shows the coins that were found by the older man.

I've seen this video before I just don't remember where. Was this on KET or did I find this on YouTube? <<shrug>> Oh well.

 

[mrslojo]

I think it was on KET originally but I found it on ed hensons blog. Lots of good stuff on there.

 

[KY Hiker]

Yep, that must have been where I saw it. Thanks for the memory jog.

Its a great video. It was actually filmed in the Breaks Interstate Park just 5 minutes from my house. I know a couple of people in the film one is a very good friend of mine. He is very knowledgeable on the legend. I could listen to him talk about it for hours.

Cool video-thank you for posting it! I am curious about the cave they found the skeletons in while hunting with the dogs....does anyone know where the one fella was referring to? just an approximation...he referred to the number of telephone poles going up the mountain.

I think they use to call it the fault cave. I haven't been to it since I was a kid. I think it was 13 power poles after the state line train tunnel. Its a good walk use to take us all day.
