Only Serious Louisiana Treasure Hunters

[45th_Johnny]

Hello, my name is Johnny and I was a serious treasure hunter who use to live in Louisiana. I am 71 years old and have searched for treasure most of my life. I have helped or have found treasure of one kind or another, not just in Louisiana but other states. I would like to give you the benefit of that knowledge and my vast library, only if you want it. I am here to help, if you want it. I will check back every day, several times a day for as long as I can.

Johnny I appreciate you so much and I will try to suck up as much of your knowledge as you can give me. Thank you so much for all the help and knowledge that you have already given me.

I couldn't sleep last night so I went back to that same parking in Bay St. Louis and found nothing except clad. I ttried to do some research on the park on historical aerial maps but it only went back to 1956.

Before Katrina, I called Bay St. Louis home. What park are we talking about?

Johnny - just wanted to say it's very kind of you to offer you knowledge to our members -

 

[45th_Johnny]

Molewacker, That is kind of you to say that, but it is purely personal. I spend about ten hours a day in bed and the rest in my chair. I sometime watch movies or read. The last job I had was over twenty years ago. I have had over thirty-six surgeries, with more on hold. I need to do this.

Truth, the Bay St. Louis Historical Society, if it still exist, could help in your own research. Or, it may have lost everything, like I did.

We appreciate your most generous offer sir. Truth1253 is a good guy, and most deserving of a hint or two about treasure.

He got so excited when he found the Barber half.

I hope that you start to feel a bit better.

Tom, glad you found the site. I spent some time in North Carolina, about a year, lots of treasure there, lots of history too. One of the first gold rushes started there, as I recall. I think it started with a boy finding a gold nugget the size of an Irish potato. After that someone found gold in Dahlonga, Ga. and everyone went there, then California and Alaska. Almost none of the mines were ever played out.

I lost everything myself Johnny and I mean everything. Worst experience of my life. I'll swear it took 5 years of my life.

I know what you mean. McDonald Park, was not there the last time I was there. My last job was at Casino Magic. I use to hit the beaches all along the coast from Clermont Harbor up to inside the back bay. There was a story about a ferry landing out along 603. it was on the west side of 603 on the north side of the Jourdan river. I was told that the man would ferry people and wagons across for a fee and he keep all of his money there. When he died the money was never found. I never looked for it, did not know who if anyone owned it. I had belonged to a treasure hunting club in BSL. After Katrina everyone went in different directions. I know that one of the members has died and two live in Picayune. I guess you probably know about the treasure found at the house on Beach Blvd. As well as the Lafitte House. Did you know that gold has been found along the Wolf River? If you decide to go prospecting let me know and I can tell you what you will need.

Good Luck

P.S. Went back and checked, he ferried Cars and People. There was an old black and white photo at the Hancock County Historical Society, website.

Are used to be a compulsive gambler high dollar but now I'm out of the tact. It's the same thing I get the same feeling I love it. Lol i'm trying to find an older map that would let me know what was there in 1800s. Obviously something was there because I've found that 1900 Half. I spoke with a neighbor and he mentioned that he thought he heard there was a pecan tree grove there but he wasn't sure when. As far as I the gold paint and goes hey I'll try anything once but I tell you if I find some gold and get lucky I know I'll get GOLD FEVER. Are they panning or metal detecting along the Wolf river?

If it was me, I would get a dark colored gold pan, I like green (The gold shows up better.) and go up the river, check the area on the upside of each turn in the river. Get a clump of the grass near the water line and pan out the dirt from the roots. No gold go farther up stream and check again. You could use a metal detector, but it may not be able to detect the small flakes of gold. Some place between the bay and my house you may find the source. I went to a sand pit near Bay St. Louis took some samples from the black sand line, went home and panned that. There was a few flakes, but mostly flower. Or you could drive up checking the areas where bridges pass over the river. The water level has to be low enough to allow to check the banks and it should be in the winter to avoid snakes. We will talk more later. I will try to look for a map in the morning.

No luck on the map yet, still have more books to look in. Charles Grey in still in charge of the Hancock Historic Society they may have a map you can look at. I remember after Katrina a picture of his house, with his two Rolls Royce's parked in his driveway. He is part of the DuPont family and one of the nicest people you will ever meet.

Man Johnny I went back there this morning hunted for 4 hours and found nothing but trash and clad for the 4 time in 7 days. How on earth can I find a 1900 Half in my first hour and not even find a wheat cent after. It boggles my mind
