The House of David also owned property up north on Beaver Island and it's said that Ben Purnell hid the loot up there. They also operated an amusement park in Benton Harbor for a long time. I don't know where it was though.

Beaver Island has a history of stuff like this though. Practically every treasure hunter in Michigan knows about King Jesse James Strang who had a Mormon colony there in the mid-1800s. Legend has it that that bunch hid gold on Beaver Island too.

Of course Beaver Island is off-limits to metal detecting, or so I heard......figures.
