Good content to sleep to, History Channel needs to step their game up and make more actual content instead of this pre-written played out drama BS
29:15- The commanding officer on horseback uses the word calvary which is where Christ was crucified, cavalry is what he meant to say. They do this in some old tv westerns from time to time and I’ve talked to others who were raised Christian and they agree this mispronounced word sounds completely WRONG. Just thought the reenactment participants should know this, since the USA was well versed in the bible in Custer’s Era and this word choice would have been unusual to hear. Hard to explain to this generation and not meant to sound know it all. Just super noticeable.
I doubt the Indians Purge these men of their money and stuff and put it all together in a box and said oh we bury treasure we hide from white man. Whatever they took that kept for those traded it off over the years and even the white pony soldiers who were around the area that didn’t go to help him they probably went there and ravaged their own soldiers bodies for their money because from what I was told from my grandfather was custard’s body wasn’t even recognizable neither was his brother-in-law or his nephew whoever it was so bad his wife couldn’t even identify his own body so that’s why they just buried them right there and left it alone there is no treasure out there so stop looking
Amigo, THIS is without a doubt your BIGGEST Yarn of all…..!!! 🤣
It amazes me when people look up to Custer as it he’s a great hero. They stole native land those soldiers deserved what they got.
This guy has found plenty and exposed even more.
Why would a Cavalry Commander take a wagon full of cash out with him on an important military campaign? Didn’t his cavalry Troop have a base? Why would soldiers expect to get paid, way out on a campaign trail, far from anyplace where they could spend the money? Soldiers get paid at their home base, not during battle, and not way out on some campaign trail!
Some times the “treasure” is in keeping a legend alive. Generally, people are gullible, and will pay for anything believed connected to the legend.
Excellent, unpriceless serie , thank so much.
the LARPing was cringey af
My horse said Bullsh*%t not me…
If the map got stolen the treasure of gone
Fyck custard the women and baby killer and his soldiers that have no morals
They said custard for last and let a woman Indian a squaw kill him because custard killed either her father or her husband one or the other so she went off on him and mutilated his face a woman killed custard and then the Chiefs watched her and after it was done they all left you need to really study the history it was a captain who actually started the firing thinking that they were shooting at custard but custard was there to have some kind of meeting or a council they called it and his captain started the fighting
Benteen had the pack train so more then likely they had it and either lost it or never had it, why pay the soldiers when they would not be back to Fort Lincoln for weeks
It was Spent on Booze , Really? Ya think the Indians saved it…. no they spent it….fools
The stories are fun but he fails to solve even one mystery.
Its Iron Tail not Two Moons on the nickel
How is he so uneducated? I have known since I was a child that only women and children were in the camp and the man we’re waiting outside to attack.
I’ve never thought of Custer being a hero. Maybe it’s the Native American blood flowing through my veins.
Scott the nickel is not one person’s likeness it is four Chief’s. The one who’s nose is on it was on What’s My Line many years ago. I watched that show when I was a kid. Check on that history.
From recent youtube documentaries of Indian tribes and how they work … it is clear the ones coming into money or position of authority of any type do NOT use it for the tribe … but invest it in their own FAMILY structure. The Indians interviewed smiled and laughed about it but the comment was made in more than one tribe … including the Lakota. Just saying…
Scott Wolford is a genius… As far as I know, he’s never been successful in any of his "quests" and yet, my guess is, he’s made a fortune. I love this guy….
These “instructors” weren’t necessarily brain surgeons… but it was probably very fun playing dress up and riding horsees around! Interesting to learn about the possible treasure.
Money built the casinos…
I tried to write this earlier and Youtube restricted my comment. In preview we watched many casino owners. In truth most are innocent- some were surrounded by people that stole my trust fund, and forced into a form of enslaved guilt. Casino is a legitimate bussiness, you take a risk, you lose or you win. nothing that God would foucs on to much.
He has found plenty and exposed even more.
10000 is nothing look at youtselves
Amusing but this is a "silly season story". Long before Custer’s campaign troops in the field (or their commander) would never have have been carrying their pay. They would probably have drawn it only when they were going on leave and what pay they had on hand was left "at the fort." Would Custer have had a "supply train"? Absolutely; for a unit the size Custer was leading probably one wagon full of food, camp supplies, tack, black powder, a line of replacement mounts, etc. Why would they be carrying treasure? They weren’t going anywhere they could spend it! Would some of this and some of the troop’s gear have been "treasure" to many of the Indian Warriors; absolutely. There probably were a few coins scattered around, but no "treasure, that is just silly.
I think Custer got what he deserved. I do not think he was any kind of an American Hero, what so ever. What we did to the Indians will always be un expectable. The powers that be do not care anything more about us than they did the Indians. This is obvious.
Ok I go in to gif you a push scott . the guy never put the map on the monument . he’s stole the map and take the tasure. In that time 25 000 $ is big money. In the end he investment the money but he’s lost the investments and died.
Wasn’t the Indians just as savage as the other side?
A forrest so large and so free….. a world of intense sensation, aroma, intellect, simply unimaginable experience it must have been, Long live the story of a golden life!!!!
There is a group who has been looking for the treasure and it has still not been found .
Caught him lying…. around 19:00 listen for 1986 , 110 years and The 50 years Comment, DOES NOT COMPUTE! Thumbs down 👎
What God and lucifer meant when I said that of the 4 billion beings on this planet no one would help us. No one would help us raise the 7 wonders of the world- Or satalite term SAMOS. Which is why we used planet Uranus instead- we have much love and support at home in ISadore.. On earth- my father by birth this life saint Peter did give me ten-thousand dolars during that time- but because unemployment had a huge delay- it all went to daily survival. Raising the 7 wonders at bare cost- would have been about 5 million dollars here on earth. The plan- once we got Atlantis up- which would have cost around a quarter million dollars- then other people would start funding. We brought 3 trillon dollars with us- which was payable to be age 36 but that was all stolen the 9.11 attack of the world trade center.
Our past just sucks We stole all the land We live on and killed anyone in the way and ruined a completely sustainable way of life I am sorry native Americans

I do know that. Here on earth, owners of sports teams stopped televising some games. Thats because they loose money, it costs them a fortune. They store in Isadore, but someone here has to foot the bill. Again- sprts was supposed to be the tax free industry, not church.
No photo was taken of Crazy Horse many try to pass off Little big man or Man Afraids pic as him
Crazy Horse: Scalp em all boys 🏹 🔪
👏😂
Probably kept in a bank in town and when word got out that they all were killed a crooked banker became rich
I remember Indian head Nickels in circulation. Still alive because I took no shot….LOL
So if the tomb got broken into and the map got stolen what do you think happened to the treasure? Duh it was found
I got a nickel I thank it is for me but I don’t won’t nothing u k er got.
Sitting Bull told the Lakota not to desecrate the bodies of the Calvary soldiers. The Cheyenne acted on their own initiative and stripped them of everything. Then they left heading S. East back the exact way Custer’s troops came from, passed the now burned "lone teepee."
Knowing the Natives that I know, the Gold and silver was probably never cached and spent immediately after the battle.
The personal effects of the fallen was cached in cave along a mile long sandstone cliff system in what is now Crow land. Sandstone is soft rock and after years of erosion chances are the cave system has collapsed. You could be standing on the spot and not even know it. I’ve heard that some of the elders know the exact spot, pass the info orally and have taken younger generations there, it’s considered sacred.
So this guy is looking in Minnesota and on public land in Montana, meaning he is clueless.
Also, Custer’s battle tactics were to advance on an opposing force, kill women and children, take the survivors hostage and force the warriors to surrender. He is a disgrace to America, and it’s shameful we remember him as a hero. If you listen to the Natives account of the battle, Custer was killed in the first minutes of the battle, there may have been a last stand, but Custer was already dead his body was drug up to last stand hill by a staffer.
This guy is a grifter.
Another mystery still unsolved – but now we know about it – more history learned. Nice.
Boy I must be old. I remember reading about Custer men being payed a day or 2 before they left on there last patrol. The day before they left there was a insurance seller there and most of the men bought life insurance
