Here is another story of loosing gold in Minnesota in the early 1920’s at blue lake.
Two men built a fish house large enough to include bunk beds and set up light housekeeping. They planned to spend the winter fishing commercially. After catching a load of fish, they would take it to the twin cities and sell it. One man was resting on his bunk. A signal told him he had a fish on his line. He rolled over to grab his line and $500 worth of gold coins came tumbling out of his bib overalls. Most of the coins fell through the ice and into the lake. Allegedly they have never been found.
Anyone for a swim?
