I love old treasure stories!!!
One of my friends found a treasure of a mummified head and eventually the rest of the body of a prostitute in the Pahrump, Nevada area. WOO HOO! Not as good as finding gold, but he found something that didn’t belong out in the desert. lol.
I’m here watching.. wow very interesting story.
Hi
I’m new
What is your favorite Utah treasure legend?
Great stories .
Really enjoyed this! Thank you for sharing.
History books might say otherwise but……I suspect the Spanish Conquistadors traveled thru parts of the Utah and Arizona deserts, Lost treasure might still be there.
I love my State! Utah born and raised!!!
You have any stories around El paso Texas? I got a jeep and some time on weekends and I’ll head out to search. I love adventure and the searching part. That’s why I love prospecting and dropping things while I’m working on the cars I fix lol
Dude if you know these stories why don’t you build a team of treasure hunting.
