Victorio Peak treasure lost in an airdrop.

[neo]

Reading the gold house trilogy and into book 2 and cane across an interview with a pilot that claims to have dumped gold because of engine trouble i uploaded the story to grok a.i. and it thinks this might be the location so if true happy hunting and if you find a few bars send me 1 or 2.

From the book pages you shared (and consistent with the Gold House series details):

• Furman/Arturo described dumping loads from the plane where some gold hit the water (a few miles offshore), but some impacted on the beach/sand or private coastal properties.
• Specific quote reference: Arturo noted, “The sand splashed just like water” when a load hit.
• Clarence investigated sites where dumps allegedly corresponded to private properties along California State Highway 1 (the Coastal Route), paralleling the Pacific in the Monterey/Carmel/Pebble Beach/Big Sur region.

This aligns with Clarence driving Highway 1, checking Monterey County records for properties (including Hill’s), and verifying dump locations against deeds/maps. Some gold was said to have reached or scattered on/near beaches or coastal land owned by private parties, rather than solely sinking far offshore.

Implications for Locations​

• Likely areas: Rugged coastline between Monterey/Carmel south along Hwy 1 — steep cliffs, coves, and beaches near Pebble Beach, Stillwater Cove, Pescadero Point, etc. Private gated estates and limited public access make this challenging.
• No public GPS coordinates or confirmed recovery sites exist. The descriptions are approximate (“a few miles out,” corresponding to specific properties visible from the air or road).
• Any land/beach impacts would be on private property in one of California’s most exclusive areas (much of it gated within Pebble Beach or similar).

Practical note: Treasure hunting there would require landowner permission (or face trespassing issues), plus coastal regulations. No verified gold from these alleged 1960s dumps has surfaced publicly.

The Hill property at 1462 Cypress Dr, Pebble Beach remains the strongest match for the one Clarence visited. If you have more page excerpts or details (e.g., specific beaches or landmarks), I can narrow it further!
