If the KGC buried their vast treasure in mason jars here is a way to date them so to find out if they were KGC treasure or not.Minnetrista » How to Date a Ball Jar

Cheesecake you have our attention but we need more information if we are going to be of any help. Otherwise you are kind of on your own.

Mason Jars were simply "Bank Jars" (coins,etc.) for Outlaws/former CSA Rebels/KGC Knights "on the Run"; used to pay friendly ppl who provided "rest" (food, bed, "body clean-up") to 'em; MANY stories exist... indicating such.

Actually, KGC is the guy that can answer all your questions, not me. He finally, from his posts, convinced me that the kgc even existed. That's the guy you need to PM. My field(I taught college for 15 years) was Spain in Texas and the Southwest 1519-1821. And it's probably best not to disclose the whereabouts of your treasure...Good luck on the hunt...
By the way, I've been to Blum, fished Whitney and floated(canoe) the Brazos. Also ate at one of the best BBQ spots ever. Now I understand your post. There is a treasure story that I heard years ago about the area. Can't recall KGC, but stuff was buried in containers. Good luck...

Cheeseme, you might want to delete location details from your post. You want to keep locations and certain location-specific details confidential.

By the way, is the Caps Lock button on your keyboard broken? It's more difficult to read writing that's in all caps.

Cheeseme we aren't all that far apart. Yes most likely there might be a KGC connection there. Good amount of Spanish, Mexican, and Native American treasure tales abound in you area too.

It's said the best Bar-b-que in Texas comes from that area of central Texas. From Austin to Dallas. My favorite place is in a gas station in Rowlett,Texas the most unlikely place. The brisket melts in your mouth and DANG the sausage is the best I have ever had. I was ruined years ago because I got addicted to the Kansas City style and love my sweet bar-b-que sauce. The Texas based sauce is a vinegar based. Tangy but not any sweetness I do like the mustard sauce on my pork most ham. Pulled pork its KC style sauce.

You are right Rebel is the go to guy here. He had most likely forgot more than most of us know.

Interesting tale,,,
MANY individuals used jars as banks in the day,,Either out of distrust or not having a real "bank" nearby.
Personally I DO BELIEVE that there are still many such small "pokes" that have not been found.
As far as the huge KGC caches we all have heard and read about,,,Very possible that there might be a few of those too.
BUT as we all know the secrecy and codes/signs that were used to convey those locations, many have been lost or the "keys" to those codes were forgotten.
There ARE however several here that DO know some of the "keys" or at least have a grip on the methodologies that was used to encrypt those locations.

Mason jars have been around since the 1850's. Before that crocks were what food was generally stored in. A lot of families put up food from the garden for the year. I still do a fair amount of canning pickles, jelly, green beans, tomatoes, pickled peppers. We try to keep 150 Ball Mason jars on hand with 600 lids. We buy the lids in sleeves at about 240 per sleeve. This was a precious commodity to the pioneers and settlers as well as the flatlanders.

People didn't trust banks. If you go thru L.C. 's stories on Nebraska City's history you will find a story of how bags of rocks were used to trick patrons in to not having a run on the bank. In the 1880's into the 1960's in the rural areas we had butter and egg men. They came around once a week and collected the cream and eggs that the farmers would gather take them back to town and pay you up front. Not having any bank close you stashed the money in a mason jar and hid it in a post hole until you needed supplies in town. Then retrieve the jar and take what you needed to town to pay for whatever. So many of these post hole banks were forgotten about. Because of a sudden death or debilitating illness the location was lost and money was therefore never retrieve leaving many families almost destitute. K von M wrote a good article about them back in the 1970's in the National Prospectors Gazette and Treasure Hunting News. He did quite well recovering them back then in Colorado and Nebraska. I ask my mother who is 88 years old how much they got for a dozen eggs. She could remember that it was five cents per dozen. She had to help gather the eggs and my grandmother was very strict that my mother was to be very careful and not break one single egg. This was during the depression and they went to town maybe once a month. During the winter months you may only get to town once every three months if the weather was bad. You might have to eat corn bread and cracklings and drink acorn or roasted oat and barley coffee. There wasn't any Wally world, Kroger's, or Aldi's food it was what you had in your pantry and what little you bought in town. That's why mason jars were so important to the early settlers and farm people. One of the reasons Jarden Corporation is so large today the new U.S. Steel of the 21st. century.
