I assume diamond lake because it’s close to crater
The last one.. the chest was put in the cave on the side of the mountain. Its since been washed out and has spilled many of the silver coins onto Lincoln city Beach.
Loved this! Definitely want a part 2!
So what were the directions? A lake up north in Oregon? Where could I find more information on this?
crater lake has had many very strange events going way to current more than a handful of accounts of people young an old have vanished never to be seen again, the local native tribes consider the lake a place of evil they do not go near the lake an say all should stay away. you can look up history of lake i wouldn’t go there looking for gold
somewhere between medford and ashland haha… southwest oregon has probably the best gold in the country. especially on 199 on the way out to cave junction are prime time locations. That area in itself Id consider lost treasure. One of Oregons if not the nations best kept secrets. Its just that people can’t handle the Siskiyou forest when you get about 5 miles deeper in the forest than any pickup will allow you to pull up to, also Oregons mining and dredge limitations, there are some big ole nuggets out there though. That’s cool to hear the story about a pot of gold though.
Yeah, I’ve already went looking for these treasures. Unfortunately I didn’t find anything, however I did find a small diner about 7 miles south of Ashland that has THE best peach cobbler.
Sounds like motivational speaker promises, no end and end in nothing
There is an old Hard Rock Mine at Crater Lake but it is a very dangerous hike to get there and "NO" I won’t tell you where it is.
GOONIES never say die!
Like the stories, but you gotta work on the names . Eureka is on the coast. Yreka (why reeka) is the town you show. Also in another video with a tale about a Spaniard going to The Dalles, it’s pronounced like "pals" but replace the P with a D. Like the stories thoughh!
"Na hay lem " bay… definitely not an orygunian
Bogus stories…. ya we all trusted this guy with our money he was a good fellow…..whatever. Worse than the Secret Gold Mine tale. Urban legend nonsense.
Lots of gold in Oregon.
They got the lake wrong. It wasn’t crater lake.
Now, does anyone want to take a stab at what lake they were really meant to get too?
On Wizard Island at Crater Lake there is a treasure buried on it.
Is no fun if the government won’t let people search for this treasures in Oregon
