Sounds familiar Jeff, we are about to make the corrections for our Dakota's book. The total and putting some in the bank before death like I say sounds familiar, but I been deep in the study of this lost treasure stuff for some time now.

it's always possible allot of hoarders money smelled that way.
since there were obviously, 10's of thousands of people who didn't/don't
trust banks, and at least a few only retrieved it when they needed it.
more then one could have hit the papers for having musty money..

I have heard of an old guy telling about the smell of buried money. I figured he meant paper money in a mason jar.

I'm in Belle Fourche (pronounced Bell Foosh) every year. Thanks for the tip, I'll have to do some research into this one!
