Somewhere around Salt Plains lake there's supposed to be a giant stash. I've seen more than one claim on this, and know more than one person who's researched it pretty extensively. The folks, the means, the history about it is all there. Everything but the actual location lol.

Hmmm…how close to the lake?!?

I’ve been thinking about getting one of those Garrett metal detectors.

Edit to add that I just read the gold was supposedly buried close to the dam.

Is there gold buried in different place across the country very possibly but if i found any i would keep my mouth shut about it.

This!

And honestly if it's true, you might be surprised how close you could be to it. If folks know that area very well, there's only one area with red bluffs along the river where it's said to be.

I’ve already been planning to mow down the plum thickets around my house, so that would make it easier to look for the treasure.

Wouldn’t that be a hoot and a half to pay $180k for a place that has millions in 1850’s gold on it.

The red bluffs are a long SE side of the dam and east along the south of the river. Who knows if that's actually the correct portion of the river. I'd say anyone up there along the river has a chance.

The current river “topography“ is different north of the lake versus south of the lake, and I wonder if it has to do with the years of flooding north of the lake cause by the dam. I’ve never seen pictures of what my area looked like prior to the dam construction and wonder if it was more like what’s south.

I would say it's probably different but I don't think your area ever had red shale bluffs or they would still be there. There's very little sand along the river from the bluffs east, whereas your area on the other had has a ton.

I've watched a documentary that "they" think there is still some civil war gold stashes hidden & buried in certain regions in KS.

And the FBI stole it. Or something along those lines

Hate to break it to everybody but this unknown man who went by the name “Blondie” and his accomplice Tuco Ramirez discovered the lost gold in an unmarked grave in Sad Hill Cemetery in 1873…..
