I've never heard of indians hiding gold along the river but I've read a few articles about pirates that made their way up the Mississippi ending up on the Cuyahoga, and story has it hid treasure along the river.

Wow! This is news to me! I lived and grew up in Cuyahoga Falls for over 25 years! I'm curious about it now. Where did you hear about it?

 

[mrwilburino]

Where did they get the gold from?

 

[hvacker]

Native Americans didn't value gold as far as I know. In New Mexico tribes were known to bury mines after the Pueblo Revolt.

Sounds like the legend of the lost French gold near Minerva Ohio. Lots of folks have looked for it. There's a thread here in Treasurenet about it. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/treasure-legends-ohio/134588-lost-french-gold-minerva-ohio.html

Hi bluetick 352. My name is Keith. I live in Akron, and have done some research on the caves there on the Cuyahoga river. Only reference I came across about the caves was when the old amusement part was there in the early 1900's people used to hide coins in the caves in glass jars for other people to find. Send me a PM and maybe we can get together for a hunt. Take care..HH

I don't know about any gold, but there will be all kinds of good stuff buried in the silt behind an old dam. I would want to screen every inch of it. I lived in Elyria years ago, and I'd love to dig out behind the dam there......
