Can anybody narrow this lead.

Can anybody give any more info on a Lost Treasure in Northern Arizona, Coconino County. The treasure is supposed to be buried near Pine Springs Station, which is somewhere around Mormon Lake. I have been around there looking, and I can find the town of Happy Jack, but the trail ends there. Nobody around! Dowser

I have many, many references to lost treasures in that county.... is there a name associated with this one?

[dowser]

No name to this Treasure that I know of. #181 in Thomas P. Terry Atlas. It's an old Stage station between Beaverhead station and Bringham city. It's also listed in, A Guide To Treasure in Arizona, by Thomas Penfield, bottom of page 21. Any assistance is appreciated. Dowser

Got it-

Its called the Pine springs robbers cache and here's a reference to check into-

Kildare, Maurice, "Gold in Iron Boxes" Frontier times, vol. 42, no.2, Feb-Mar 1968, Western Publications, Austin TX, pp. 6-9, 55, 58


Only other reference I have is Penfield's, which you already have. He may have gotten it from this source.

Jeffro, thanks for that info!!! And Timberwolf, I don't see it on your list. But I was wondering about the Arizona treasure you have listed about treasure in or near Rogers Lake. The info from sources I have write there was gold bars along with coins, but I don't see bars on your list, just coins. Do you know something different from them? Do either of you have any True Treasure Leads, Arizona. ? Dowser

Dowser,

I can't vouch for the accuracy of my database. It was software that I bought several years ago.
AZ is too big to post, all at once. I can email it if you like. Send me a PM.

A careful reading of the accounts reveals that the Pine Springs Station was located near Mahan Mountain. The nearest town is Happy Jack, AZ. The valuables and gold were transported on the stagecoach in three strong boxes. Many searches have been made for the boxes, but they were never recovered. The station was totally torn down by searchers that thought the boxes were hidden under the floor of the station. The boxes were most likely hidden near the site of the station.

Additional research may reveal the year of the robbery, and the actual amount of gold that was being transported. At today's gold prices, the shipment could be worth over $1 million. Good luck!
