Hello fellow treasure hunting friends! I’m a producer for a Travel Channel show. Our program explores archeological mysteries around the world, teaching real history in the context of an entertaining expedition to exciting places. We posted about this in the General section, but wanted to cross post as we would be interested in organizing a search in the Moffat Colorado area in search of Butch Cassidy's buried treasure.

Let us know if you would be interested in joining us on a hunt. Thanks for your time and consideration.

PS this forum is amazing and I will make sure to abide by all "internet forum" laws and if I step out of line, I will humbly take my lumps.

Heres to hoping we find some gold...

Welcome to TN!

This website discourages multiple posts of the same message. Thought you'd want to know.

Good luck to all,

answered your inquiry on the other forum heading. As old bookaroo says : No need to double and triple post.

Butch never buried treasures in Connecticut, so I am not looking for his treasures.

They said Moffat in the message, Moffat county is northwest Colorado. probably Irish canyon, and Brown's hole area. Didn't see any mention of Conneticut, eastern Colorado or Saguache
.

Butch & Sundance were near the Royal Gorge some years back. Oh wait that was Redford & Newman film the movie. Might have to find it and watch it.

My husband and I live in northwestern Colorado and are amaeture treasure hunters. We've spent some time around Irish Canyon and Browns park. We'd love to be of help to you.

I believe that they both moved to a foreign country and took all their loots with them.

Anyone see the episode that was recently on TV? The one where they found the silver dollar? It dealt with hunting his loot with Chris Jericho.
