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.
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.
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.
Chase Jesus! He’s the real treasure.
D
Why would someone conquering take gold to bury it. He took that gold with him 😝
I love your show I my self am a Cherokee citizen.
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 .
It’s in Pryor…..
8:34 weather modification in progress.. top right off screen… white cloud line
Maybe all that fracking will cause the gold to rise up..
metal detecting prohibited on government land. imagine that. That land belongs to the American people. Government my ass. Greedy bastards want ALL you have.
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..

Indian casinos have all the gold in Oklahoma now 😁😁

I LIVE IN EUFAULA , OKLAHOMA. LETS GO TREASURE HUNTING!!
Nice video
A friend of mine found a cave here in Oklahoma with carvings from Jesse James and I think the Doolins, just outside of his property line, on technically government property. He reported it to the local museum, the museum brought in the authorities. My friend gave them all rides to the sight on his Gator side by side. About two months after the event my friend checked on the carvings and found them gone. He said that they were removed by professionals. The odd thing is that the only access to the site is through his property or the neighbors and the neighbors didn’t give access
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!
Where’s the gold? Right were the government won’t let you look for it…..
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.
Spent many days chasing worm turds, love the activity.
Great video
the moldy bills would be dated no? why not mention that or even the date? OK. is a good place to look tho..when I was stationed in Ft Sill I looked myself..sure was fun
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
Hey Burt… Shawn Carroll
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".
Same
That was really good. Thank you
The only man guaranteed to get rich in a gold rush is the man selling the shovels.
iron door would be very very ez to find with a radioshack detector…
Conquistadors invade every thing. Steal it and lose it.
They cannot eat it though
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 $25,000 or so. A bar connected to the James Gang? We’re talking a pretty penny.
Never have looked just deer haunted that area
congratulations if u were able to put up with the music… i couldn’t
I know of a creek in southwest okla with a area with black sand
Bull crap bull crap and bull crap the kid when it came out with a handful of gold
This iron door is actually from Bell Star she was a woman outlaw and her gang robbed a train and took the door off the train, dragged it into the canyon and cemented it into the location. This was their hideout and cache behind it. The door is made of iron so it needed to be hidden from not only people but the gleam of the sun daily which will ruin it long term. The door is still there.
I live about 3 miles north west of the gold belle mining site.
It washed to Muskogee in the big flood 1980’$. Come and get it
One thing I learn never take kids treasure hunting
Hooray ! subtitles ! I’m deaf, you cared ! THUMBS UP !!!
Great expectations! Souvenirs & chit chat galore!
Oklahoma had gold
