    Lost Frenchmen Mine

    Does anyone have info about the Lost Frenchmen Mine out of Oakridge, OR? What was the mans name who found the mine while working for the Forest Service? There was a large article in the Eugene Registar Guard about the man over twenty years ago. Does anyone have the article?

    Re: Lost Frenchmen Mine

    There is a book you can get at the library called Treasure Hunting the Northwest. I believe that it goes into some details. Also just do a book search for Oregon Treasure stories. I read about it a few years ago in one of the many books that I checked out from the Library. I just can't remember any details about it.
    My buddies don't believe in burried treasure or pirates off the Oregon coast.  Boy, I can't wait to prove them wrong!

    Yep, I got it.... just don't know where at the moment. Interesting article, but I'm leaning more towards a seperate mine, I don't believe he found the Frenchmens mine. Could be though.

    As mentioned, Treasure Hunting northwest and Lost mines and buried treasures of the pacific northwest by Ruby El Hult have the stories in them.

    Both can be found at Smith family bookstore here in Eugene, or at Powells in Portland. Pretty available online as well.
