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.
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?
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
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.
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 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..
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.
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.
The government determined?
Can someone else?? https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/threelly-ai-for-youtube/dfohlnjmjiipcppekkbhbabjbnikkibo
Of course there is gold in Oklahoma there are some roads that are paved with gold bearing rock
Bull crap bull crap and bull crap the kid when it came out with a handful of gold
Where’s the gold? Right were the government won’t let you look for it…..
Great video
I live about 3 miles north west of the gold belle mining site.

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…

Indian casinos have all the gold in Oklahoma now 😁😁
It’s in Pryor…..
I like the video except for the turning the volume up and down, I understand its an old one but cant you remaster sound?
you mention the SOUTHWEST corner of Oklahoma and then show near the PANHANDLE in the high northwest??!!!
Oklahoma had gold
Mike pung is such a great guy and pleasure to say hes a friend.
Maybe all that fracking will cause the gold to rise up..

Conquistadors invade every thing. Steal it and lose 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.

Any gold on oklahoma traveld here. We have no gold producing veins. We got oil folks. Shale to be exact.
The only man guaranteed to get rich in a gold rush is the man selling the shovels.
Maybe " iron door" was just a figure of speach?
just get out of the for something to do with the kids and have fun
I am going there tomorrow….🤣🤣
The only treasure I’ve ever found here in Oklahoma is cheap land and low taxes! 👍
It washed to Muskogee in the big flood 1980’$. Come and get it
Great expectations! Souvenirs & chit chat galore!
I know of a creek in southwest okla with a area with black sand
Never have looked just deer haunted that area
