i buy and remodle houses for a living and i bought a house once and found 50 bucks in quarters hidden under the floor once.
if you need to interview me just ask
if I was ever to uncover a buried treasure such as a box full of gold and silver coins,no one would ever hear about it.
This is likely the best thing to do. Recall there was a case recently where a plumber was doing work for a lady in a home. During the course of his work, he found that previous owners had put money in the wall of this older home. He told the owner and there were tons of very good condition, very old currency, worth much more than the face value. Of course now he is suing, saying he wants half. Then if you go public, allowing the local newspaper to take photos and such, then previous owners will be pulling out their old real estate contracts trying to find a loop hole to claim it themselves, etc. etc..
It is best to keep these things hush-hush.
That is a cool story. What is the Indian tribe in that area?
Indians overtook a wagon train of gold down in Martin County in the 1800's.
It's supposed to be buried along White River near McBrides Bluff
The Government back around 1930's thought they knew roughly
where it was located, and dug several large holes in an attempt to locate it.
They did not.
This lost treasure is listed as one of the top ten in Indiana.
There are several caves down that way, some along one area have
Indian carvings on them.
I "know" of one more that has a sealed entrance.
Sealed with a large white limestone star and covered with earth.
This white limestone is not native to that area and had been ...
carried in by someone years ago.
This star and cave entrance was found while two guys were
digging for water about 40 years ago.
One guy has long passed, the other guy ain't talking.
Indiana has several lost treasures.
Indiana has several treasures to offer, if your eyes are open.
