Saying that is easy, finding such well. Point is why wouldnot they bury or hide in those days. You might say never find anyhow, I’m saying wither it’s gold, silver, bank robbery monies it’s there where in the ground under a tree. I’m not interested in more stories, but what hope is there finding such history.

From what I,ve read on here and elsewhere,not a good chance of finding one of these.If I wanted to look I,d look,that,s the kind of guy I am.Don,t care what any body thinks,I,d just go ahead and look for it.But there,s probably not much chance of actually finding anything.If any one has ever found one I doubt they told the world so.

The older I get I don’t care either, I mean I’m not harming anyone. But just think the hobby we are in, we try to find lost or otherwise hidden stuff. We no that’s not fake or fiction. You no it doesn’t matter the amount that’s there, some people didn’t trust banks or heck maybe there wasn’t any. People hid stuff guarante it, maybe they didn’t tell family members either. Look I’m not trying to start up curiosity I’m saying it’s there and everywhere small amount, maybe silverware , etc. no map will tell you, so there are no stories either to follow, everyone dead. These are the random surprise finds that folks will make until the end of time, I hope I can find such items to and all of you. so yes it’s out there, good luck

The stories I believe are when someone knows a family member hid gold or silver and died before disclosing the location.
A guy I met years ago told me about a buddy's dad who died in a tractor accident but told his son he has hidden gold on the property. They looked everywhere in the house and I told him I would gladly try and find it outside and that I didn't want anything if I found it. They didn't take me up on the offer.

There are plenty of Civil War treasure caches hidden, problem is they're now under Home Depot parking lots. I do recall the British recently finding a few years ago the body of Richard III under a parking lot.

Also, there's Spanish treasure buried under the aisles inside Home Depot! This was a fun movie...



Make sure you see the ending of the movie!

So we can’t recover the lost treasures in lake bottoms, ocean because of bureaucracy. Who determines such situations government again, they just in the way once again.
