An English packet ship came to Maine in 1760 to pay the British soldiers in America. With a party of 60, they encamped for the night at the Aroostook River. The marines, with food and ammunition, depleted a letter that was written to the commander of the waiting ship. The letter was given to one of the guides to take to the ship. All the guides except the Indian were dismissed. The sacks of gold that were to be used for payment were buried under a tree. At the time, a scout hid behind a tree, and he sensed that the treasure was about to be buried. The paymaster’s message was received at the ship, but the marines were never seen again. After a couple of years, the scout and his companions went back to get the treasure, and they were never seen again either. It's doubtful if any treasure was found. It's supposedly not far from Mapletonhttp://www.pichamber.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17
