Back In Time: The Lost Gold of Oklahoma
Back In Time: The Lost Gold of Oklahoma
Back In Time looks into the legends of lost treasure thought to be buried in the southwest corner of Oklahoma. Some of it, the stories go, is from Spanish explorers. Other treasure was supposedly stashed by robbers in the 1800’s.And there’s the dedicated few who want to strike it rich by panning for gold in Oklahoma, and some are finding some nuggets.
That’s Bill Mahan at 14:29 not Cook. These photos are mostly from Wilson’s book. I believe that Jesse’s part of the cache is still out there. Buzzards Roost is only a 30 minute drive from me and there’s too many finds to regard the story as legend. A gold bar is worth around $25,000 or so. A bar connected to the James Gang? We’re talking a pretty penny.
just get out of the for something to do with the kids and have fun
One thing I learn never take kids treasure hunting
There’s gold but it doesn’t jump into your pocket. Been hunting for many years and usually went home with some pull tabs and random iron pieces. One lucky day I was hunting along a sharp bend on an old dried up stream bed and got an awesome looking target about 9 inches down. Ended up being a 1.6 oz gold nugget. I’m sure it’s gonna be the best find of my life. Unless I can find a cache of gold coins like in CA! Lucky hunting gentlemen!
I did find some Acapulco gold in the norman dispensary
I like the video except for the turning the volume up and down, I understand its an old one but cant you remaster sound?
Mike pung is such a great guy and pleasure to say hes a friend.
Maybe " iron door" was just a figure of speach?
metal detecting prohibited on government land. imagine that. That land belongs to the American people. Government my ass. Greedy bastards want ALL you have.
Ya get to "Play in the Dirt with Friends" –
What’s not to love about this!?!
Makes me want to – go make new friends – I keep thinking about Crystal Digging – like Arkansas and their Diamond Field.
Love this Earth – and she’s so good to us – 🌎🌍🌏🍀❤💫⭐
Oklahoma had gold
Hey Burt… Shawn Carroll
Bull crap bull crap and bull crap the kid when it came out with a handful of gold
I found some gold once in Lebanon, OK. Two pieces of rock. I gave one away. I kept the other and still have it today.
I live about 3 miles north west of the gold belle mining site.
It seems that most burned treasure tales of the west would have to be true , otherwise why would the government designate most of the areas where it is supposed to be buried as a wilderness area,wildlife refuge , national monuments , or otherwise no digging whatsoever , even by archyologists , just my 2 cents
I love your show I my self am a Cherokee citizen.
The only man guaranteed to get rich in a gold rush is the man selling the shovels.
Great expectations! Souvenirs & chit chat galore!
They cannot eat it though
It’s in Pryor…..
That was really good. Thank you
I know of a creek in southwest okla with a area with black sand
Lived in Hobart OK in ’82 and my girlfriend’s daddy had a ranch near Mountain Park in the Crystal Mts., Quartz Crystals.
Great video. I was born and raised in SE and NE Oklahoma. We spent 8 years in the Texas Panhandle. I never heard anyone ever say "Goad" instead of gold, like a couple of people in this video. I have a couple of gold detectors but never though of bringing them back when I visit. I have ran coin and relic metal detectors since 1973 though. Found some very cool things, especially on our TX ranch (8,000 acres).
I am going there tomorrow….🤣🤣
The original story went – "the gold was found in the northeast section of Oklahoma before the land rush and hauled away in Mr. Peabody’s wagons by teamsters".
Great video
Never have looked just deer haunted that area
congratulations if u were able to put up with the music… i couldn’t
D
Maybe all that fracking will cause the gold to rise up..
Why would someone conquering take gold to bury it. He took that gold with him 😝
Same
Nice video
It washed to Muskogee in the big flood 1980’$. Come and get it
I LIVE IN EUFAULA , OKLAHOMA. LETS GO TREASURE HUNTING!!
Can someone else?? https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/threelly-ai-for-youtube/dfohlnjmjiipcppekkbhbabjbnikkibo
Where’s the gold? Right were the government won’t let you look for it…..
iron door would be very very ez to find with a radioshack detector…
adjust your volume higher and keep it stable….everything else is great. Think Volume…..and everyone elsr doing these things or listen to them before posting….please…thnx.
Indian casinos have all the gold in Oklahoma now 😁😁
Spent many days chasing worm turds, love the activity.
8:34 weather modification in progress.. top right off screen… white cloud line
so let me get this straight: the Spaniards risked life and limb to find gold, only to bury it and come back later? just like pirates, this makes zero sense. They arrived there by (sometimes) 800 ton ships… plenty of room to bring it back. we know of the el dorado wreck in the Bahamas which had so much of montezuma’s treasure aboard, the captain had to jettison all of her ballast stones.
you mention the SOUTHWEST corner of Oklahoma and then show near the PANHANDLE in the high northwest??!!!
Conquistadors invade every thing. Steal it and lose it.
I sure would like to find some good coins! Here in Corpus Christi TX they say there’s pirate treasure on Padre island! Metal detecting is fun , I’ve found good things but not gold coins .
My daughter’s great grandpa died about 10 yrs ago @ 96. He told me when he was a young child he stumbled upon treasure in the Wichita mnts. He was too young to realize and spent 70 yrs looking for it again.
My grandmother lived in Oklahoma and she said jesse james and his gang camped on her farm said they were nice she was born in 1856.i dont no much about her but that was one thing I was told she died in 1962..
