Indian mounds/treasure in the southeast Texas, Jefferson County Area

[Indiantreasure]

Hello everyone, I was curious if anyone knew anything about locations of indian remains or treasures in the southeast Texas area, primarily that of the Jefferson County region (Beaumont), or had heard any rumors or old stories? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I've always assumed that the Indians living around the Beaumont area were one of the coastal cannibal tribes. I think Polk county was about the outer edge of the mound builders. However, I could be wrong about that.

Welcome to t-net sir. Hunting treasure is encouraged and shared on this site. The hunting of human remains as the law states is illegal.I suggest in looking for known and they are known ancient sites. Good luck and welcome aboard.

Tnmountains is right. You will want to stay away from remains and other illegal stuff. Arrow heads and stuff like that are the regular things that people look for.

I had read (many years ago) about a possible buried pirate treasure somewhere on the banks of the Neches river.. that it had been searched but as far as we know never found... I always thought that would be interesting to try to find... the problem with rivers is they change and move so fast things like that are hard to find...

and, btw, I'm from Nederland... living in New Zealand at the moment, but looking to move back in a year or so and started re-sparking my old interest in metal detecting... I don't have a machine at the moment, so will not only be researching sites, but detectors as well.... I was just wondering if anyone's searched the site where the fairgrounds used to be (now that they've moved, the old site might be a "gold mine".. so to speak)...

anyway, happy hunting

There are "pirate treasure" stories up and down the Texas coast and up most of the rivers from Houston on East. Spanish treasure also. You are looking at swamps, heat and bugs, but good luck to you. There is no telling what you may find...
