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.

    I know where a gold mine is at in Southeastern Oklahoma but it will cost you for a map.

    iron door would be very very ez to find with a radioshack detector…

  12. Ted jaramillo on May 18, 2020 at 2:11 pm

    If anyone believes the Spaniards left anything they are fools. Quite possibly the most greedy murderess monsters in history. Why would any treasure be left behind?

  13. Eddee What on May 18, 2020 at 2:11 pm

    Why would someone conquering take gold to bury it. He took that gold with him 😝

    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!

    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

  19. Gottlieb Goltz on May 18, 2020 at 2:18 pm

    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".

    the term "flash in the pan" isn’t from gold prospecting. its from the days of flintlock rifles when the flint sparked the anvil on the way down and ignited the powder primer charge under the "pan"… the anvil ear. when it "flashed" but didn’t carry through to primer hole into to the main charge in the barrel, it was said to have "flashed in the pan"

    metal detecting prohibited on government land. imagine that. That land belongs to the American people. Government my ass. Greedy bastards want ALL you have.

  24. Minnie Earhart on May 18, 2020 at 2:22 pm

    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 .

  25. Richard Desousa on May 18, 2020 at 2:22 pm

    Conquistadors invade every thing. Steal it and lose it.

  38. Ritz Dew on May 18, 2020 at 2:37 pm

    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.

  39. A Shore on May 18, 2020 at 2:38 pm

    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.

  40. Johnathan Goodson on May 18, 2020 at 2:39 pm

    Any gold on oklahoma traveld here. We have no gold producing veins. We got oil folks. Shale to be exact.

  41. Zoes Dada on May 18, 2020 at 2:42 pm

    The only man guaranteed to get rich in a gold rush is the man selling the shovels.

  42. Tree Top on May 18, 2020 at 2:47 pm

    Maybe " iron door" was just a figure of speach?

  43. Cm Sisk on May 18, 2020 at 2:48 pm

  45. Gearjammer on May 18, 2020 at 2:49 pm

    The only treasure I’ve ever found here in Oklahoma is cheap land and low taxes! 👍

  46. Loralea Massey on May 18, 2020 at 2:53 pm
