Haydens money is still somewhere in the canyon (NV)

Re: Hayden's money is still somewhere in the canyon (NV)

Did i miss something? I doubt if he had the time to go get the Indian if the post KK put up is on the mark...didn't it say he died right after moving some stuff and the gold? I guess it would depend of which version you go with....I would love to check it out regardless... it's just too far from the 'nati.

Curtis, just goes to show that every re-telling gets further from the truth.

That was a good Treasure info KK got me wondering if it still there, got a map and dowse the area, got one place 4.5 miles northwest of there,Gold in a cave. Don't know if this was Hayden's gold are not? But if anyone does go to ELY to check it out, i give you the GPS
on this spot, just another ace in the hole.

Re: Hayden's money is still somewhere in the canyon (NV)

Guys I read this info from an author that was writing about her life in Ely.I think the stories she tells of are actual accounts. I believe if Hayden was kicked in the head by a mule and died I believe she would have written about it for sure. I could find no death record on him there.But that is why we search,find out for ourselves and what we believe is true I guess. I will keep you fellas informed as often as I can,and KK I am hooked for life now. I`m searching my own mind now for places I`ve found deer hunting here.Some very out of the way places I know of.

NVRADAR,

Not disagreeing with you, just putting up that out of the two versions we may find more info that sheds light on this. It would be good to research the motivations for each story. Why would someone add the mule kick and gold being buried to the story? Someone may have done some embellishing to sell the story to a magazine. But what if the other writer got it third hand and what they wrote about happend before and the true facts were Hyden retrieved it out of the hole, then got kicked...who knows? If I lived anywere near there I would be on it and chase down the leads and visit the places.

Curtis
very true it could have happend just like you say,or no way any of us have heard about.I tend to lean towards what I have read and what I have and haven`t found records for,and the reputation of who I`m reading. Guess THATS treasure hunting. Good hunting Curtis Like I said I`m chasing another one ...YAHOOO!!

I think I may move this one to the top of my list. I will definately go this summer. My research starts today.

Hey Tapoutking
I couldn`t ever find a death record for George R. Hayden,but my research skills are very new at this point,still learning lots from these fellas.Best of luck!! NVRADAR

Re: Hayden's money is still somewhere in the canyon (NV)

You guys may want to head into this research via a different slant: where was Hayden buried? There should be some record of where and when he was buried at in Nevada, probably in the county he is alledged to have died in. Keep in mind that Hayden may have been buried under a similar sounding name, with or without his initials. Nonetheless, there should be record in the county seat of deaths for that time frame.

Good researching!

I don't discourage anyone from trying to find the man's grave, but keep in mind that many people back then were buried in unmarked graves. And even if you found his grave, you wouldn't really have confirmation of the treasure. Still, I would say go ahead and look for the grave, but if you don't find it, don't necessarily give up on the treasure.

Summer is moving quickly...anyone been up there to look around? Wish I had the time but thats a long ways away...

Re: Hayden's money is still somewhere in the canyon (NV)

If I was going I sure wouldn't waste time looking for a grave. Focus on the
original story.

Re: Hayden's money is still somewhere in the canyon (NV)

I WOULDN'T "SEARCH" FOR THE GRAVE. BUT IF THERE IS NO RECORD OF HIS DEATH ONE MUST CONCLUDE HE DID NOT DIE THERE. THIS MAKES SENSE TO ME GUYS. THE RESEARCH I DID ON DEATHS IN WHITE PINE COUNTY DID REVEAL SOME VERY STRANGE WAYS OF DEATHS OCCURRING. THEY ACTUALLY DO MAKE NOTES IN THE CORONERS "DEATH BOOK" OF HOW FOLKS DIED. I DO BELIVE IF HAYDEN HAD DIED IN THE MANNER THAT WAS TOLD OR FOR ANY OTHER REASON IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE. SO FOR ME AFTER ALL THAT RESEARCH AND THE BOOK I READ OF A LIFE IN ELY I BELIEVE HAYDEN TO NOT HAVE DIED THERE. JUST MY TWO CENTS. NVRADAR

KK, looks like you have one less competitor. So far I have not seen any
evidence disproving the original description.

Unfortunately, I'm too far away. Too bad, because this is one I would persue. Of course then I would not have posted it on here.

Re: Hayden's money is still somewhere in the canyon (NV)

KK, I hear you. But now the cat's out of the bag. I bet ole Hayden's head
looked like a ten day old McBurger by the time the squaw got anyone to take
a peek. The decent thing to do was put a lot of dirt on top of him. Bet those
ranchers thought she was loco at the time. If it hadn't been for the known
sale of his place the whole matter would have been forgotten in short order.
Also the value may be inflated but I don't know if Ken verified that.
