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.
I like the video except for the turning the volume up and down, I understand its an old one but cant you remaster sound?
The US government made the reserve to keep folks away from the rare earth metals. The richest veins in the valleys where hidden by dating them up and putting little lakes on top of them in the reserve. If you can breathe water I suppose you could mine it also you have to be careful as the water is bad with harmful bacteria. I am sure that isn’t an accident either. Food for thought.
My family moved to the Wichitas in 1895 and never left. I still live in the original homestead. We’re a bunch of mixed halfbreeds 😆. We looked for gold when we were kids by the creek on our place. Not far off North Fork. All we found was a human tooth. My grandma: " u kids stay away from that one spot in the creek"
I LIVE IN EUFAULA , OKLAHOMA. LETS GO TREASURE HUNTING!!
They have Satellites that can tell them exactly where it is!
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 guess the spanish went all over. Boston to Budapest
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.
My late Mother in law before she passed told me a few stories about outlaws that had stopped in and had dinner with her family in Blackgum, Oklahoma and how they camped out a lot of times in the woods in this area between Vian,Gore. She said that as a child she remembers a time Frank and Jesse James sat down and shared dinner with her family. She also said someone in her family had run with another couple of outlaws for a time, but he apparently quit taking part in robberies and such. Can’t remember what she said his name was though. She apparently knew quite a few notorious outlaws as a child living in Blackgum.
Good ol yeller gode!
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
Ain’t no goad in Oklahoma
That was really good. Thank you
I knew it, I knew it"""🥰😍🤩
They cannot eat it though
Might not be a "Cure", but it Surely is a gift from those who went before. I wish you happy hunting and blessed travels. Thank you for the video, my Mother needed to see this, and I am sure that it will make her smile. I am thankful for that . Just remember that each and every day IS a gift and that you can make it or break it with each move. This being said; the smallest of gestures can change ones’ life. 🙂
Same
Great expectations! Souvenirs & chit chat galore!
I live about 3 miles north west of the gold belle mining site.
Spent many days chasing worm turds, love the activity.
Jesse James robbed a train with my great aunt on it in Oklahoma
wow
Hooray ! subtitles ! I’m deaf, you cared ! THUMBS UP !!!
The only treasure I’ve ever found here in Oklahoma is cheap land and low taxes! 👍
Never have looked just deer haunted that area
When I was around 14 or 15 I put some flowers in the ground for my grandma, in sterling Oklahoma and dug up a brass Texas Rangers badge made of brass!! I thought it was gold being young and barely scratched the back and realized it was brass!! Lol ..Anyhow ain’t it ironic the government making it against the law to metal detect or pan for gold in the mtns Lol so they can be the ones who find it!! If they haven’t found it already!!! God bless everyone!!
I am going there tomorrow….🤣🤣
I used to live in hollis Oklahoma
iron door would be very very ez to find with a radioshack detector…
It’s in Pryor…..
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".
It washed to Muskogee in the big flood 1980’$. Come and get it
Chase Jesus! He’s the real treasure.
One thing I learn never take kids treasure hunting
I’ll definately be honest with you guys. Lets just say I’m in the woods and I come across something thats significant amount of gold is involved sure I’m going to make that phone call to tell someone about it but it’s just to report it not to tell them hey my name is such n such and I’m out here at? Your not going to do that. You are going to tell them that you found something in the area just to report it. I think people keep things hush hush soo they don’t get in trouble with what they find but in all honesty it really does cause a problem and a big stir of echoes for not letting people know that you atleast found something so it can be atleast reported.
Indian casinos have all the gold in Oklahoma now 😁😁

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.
Maybe " iron door" was just a figure of speach?
I’m hooked now
Oklahoma had gold
The guy who went to buzzards Roost was incorrect in his direction. He was pointing west when it in fact is east in the directions. To get to the top a person was meant to climb up the west side, walk around to the rock (cave was found with bucket) then from the rock head down the hill on the east side 50 yards (150 feet)
Maybe all that fracking will cause the gold to rise up..
Okies are always wanting what they can’t have. 🙄
Why would someone conquering take gold to bury it. He took that gold with him 😝
I lived in Grantie Oklahoma an lived in Altus Oklahoma for around 4 years. Most of the land around there is owned by rich cotton / wheat / corn farmers or is privately owned an you can’t get no where near these sites to look around without getting a gun pulled on you an trespassing an locked up. The farmers an private land owners know the history on there property an what any richest found there for themselves or they don’t care most that own the land around there are rich spoiled an the land been handed down from mema an pawpaw an the young folks are trust fund babies with money an power in that area . A poor working man is just a slave working for these people an don’t have a chance to better his self not inless he comes from the elite important rich family name in the area. People probably won’t like my comments but in the 4 years I lived in that area it was plainly seen by me . They haves an the have nots
Mike pung is such a great guy and pleasure to say hes a friend.
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
