Mt. Carmel plane crash

[simonds]

Has anyone done any research or hunting for the $250,000 in small bills from the plane crash. Does anyone know if it was ever found. It happened in June 1948.

Trust me, What wasn't Recovered at the scene by Firemen & Investigators During &
by the Locals after the Investigation,
Rotted away in the ground.
We did Alot of Person to Pearson, Newspaper, & Microfilm Research
to come to that conclusion.

The story of the package being thrown out was to keep the
scavengers away during the Investigation, After the Story of Packets being found at the scene Leaked to the Press.

This was the Real Treasure there

Jeff,
Thanks for the reply and information. I thought the throwing out of the package didn't seem very believable to me.
I remember another crash site. It was in the late 1960s. I was at the scene right after it happened on a mountain near Blossburg, Pa. I wasn't into hunting at that time and never thought anymore about until now. I wonder if anyone has checked that one out.
Thanks again, Clayton

I havn't found any history on the Blossburg Crash,
other then

06.23.1967. Mohawk Airlines BAC One Eleven, 34 Died.

Probably something left behind if the airline Broke up.

The airplane crashed after an in-flight fire destroyed the pitch control systems. All 34 people aboard were killed. A valve was installed backwards which caused hot air to ignite hydraulic fluid.

Clayton, funny you should mention the Mt Carmel crash. Yesterday I wen to the Treasure Hunters in Lewisburg and spoke to owner Dave Mensch. He know a guy who discovered a diamond ring and coins from the San Fransisco mint. The diamond ring was appraised at 3 or 4K!! It was featured in Treasure Hunter. I was also shown other finds that were in TH from the same guy. No mention of the cash though.

Clayton, you may have seen this:

It does mention the 250K that was on board, however it also talks of the flaming wreckage, Perhaps the cash was jettisoned.................

That would be correct Jeff. I just went through the thread that describes your adventures with Rich. Dave Mench also mentioned that Rich has found some other great stuff that he wrote about in magazines.

Yes he has eathabs.

He uses an old Whites Eagle, but still manages to
keep up with my Minelab and even Pass me out on finds sometimes.
