"The Bloody Benders", Extreme Treasure Hunting (real Life Devil's Rejects)

The Bloody Benders were a family of serial killers who owned an inn and small general store in Labette County of southeastern Kansas from 1871 to 1873. The family consisted of John Bender, his wife Elvira Bender, son John, Jr., and daughter Kate. While Bender mythology holds that John and Kate were brother and sister, contemporary newspapers reported that several of the Benders' neighbors have stated that they claimed to be married, possibly a common law marriage. Coordinates : 37.349 -95.486

* I Do not know the Legality of Metal Detecting/Treasure Hunting the Land.
Local Research needed for that.

even if just Dropped Seated Coins from Tourists.
