Even if the location of his cabin were found outside the pit, searching would present another challenge: "In 1974, most of Lead was added to the National Register of Historic Places under the name of the “Lead Historic District”. Over four hundred buildings and 580 acres (230 ha) were included in the historic district, which has boundaries roughly equivalent to the city limits."

Eh, theres a pretty good distance between lead and deadwood. Since he seemed to be living out in the boonies alone, I doubt it would be in the lead city limits. that town hasnt grown that much and probably shrunk since the boom days.

Now, whether or not anyone back then would actually dump several hundred dollars into a grave and walk away, I highly doubt it. May have been his wish, may have been the story spread, but I bet there were a few guys that went home $100 happier that day. although it would make a good research project because the old man could have had more stashed around his placed.

I also wouldn't rule out Someone Who knew where he was Buried Being Only too Happy
to read that story Back then

Ditto to the statement about the location of the miser's cabin, it was out in the hills north of the town, not in the town.

Thanks for sharing this, please do continue,
