Joaquin Murrieta’s Stolen Treasure #losttreasure #goldrush #hiddengold #treasurehunt #oldwest | In the 1850s, during the Gold Rush, Joaquin Murrieta became a notorious figure, initially seeking an honest living as a miner. However, faced with discrimination, he turned to a life of crime, leading a gang known as The Five Joaquins. Their exploits included cattle rustling and robbery in the Sierra Nevadas, particularly in the Mother Lode region.
One of Murrieta’s most legendary treasures was a wagonload of gold stolen from a northern mine. While attempting to return with the haul, Murrieta’s group was attacked by Native Americans, who stole the gold and hid it in an old burial grave beneath a cliff. Murrieta sought to reclaim the treasure but was killed by California Rangers before he could succeed.
Additionally, Murrieta is believed to have buried treasure worth $200,000 somewhere between Burney, California, and Hatcher Pass, near Highway 299, and possibly between Susanville and Freedonyer Pass along Highway 36. Another lost treasure includes 250 pounds of gold nuggets, taken from a stagecoach by Manuel Garcia, known as Three-Fingered Jack, believed to be buried along the Feather River near Paradise, California.
Murrieta remains a legendary figure, leaving treasure hunters with many tantalizing leads.
