82 Pound Gold Bar Cache Found

Yes, I know this is from the mid-1980s. I had read the article back then not knowing I would eventually get to know the author.

I think this story needs retelling because it is one of the very few I believe actually happened.

Enjoy:

And that is what it's all about, the exploration and the adventure. Exercising the body and mind in something that you thoroughly enjoy.

Stories like this give me goose bumps.

TOK,

See, not only is it a story about someone that actually found some loot, it is also a warning to people who think that they can just go out and find a buttload of gold.

My friend got out of the military in 1956. He spent some of the money he had saved on a new Willys Jeep (he still drives that same Jeep to this day). Him, his brother, and two partners spent thirty years looking for treasure. His net was about $125,000 for thirty years of searching. If it were just about the money, it would be considered a very poor return on investment of time and money. LOL

Did they ever say where this was?

[gollum]

My friend has told a couple of people, but not many.

Wow. That would be nearly 1.8 million $$$ today.

Stories like that keep me hunting.

Beautiful in its simplicity...the markings and the thinking of the treasure hider and the treasure finders.

Got to love it.
