Robbery Loot Cache near old bridge site

[Trooper733]

Could someone help me with this image please? The story about this robbery and the buried loot has been handed down to me by a friend who was also a treasure hunter but
has since passed on. He told me the story was that after a robbery of money, which included gold double eagles, silver coins and paper money, the robbers were being pursued and buried the loot on the North side of this river near where there was a bridge span across the river at the time, with dirt mounds as landmarks. The dirt mounds have been removed during crop farming in the area. The site of the bridge is marked with the yellow marker and road paths in red. The river has changed course to some extent making the Ox bow more pronounced and curving further North. I have worked this off and on for several years. Any help is appreciated.

Go to NETR Online • Historic Aerials

Then type in the coordinates for the bridge.

Click compare then click slide.

Then on one map show the most modern aerial view, on on the other side select the closest to the time period of the robbery. This can be topographic or aerial.

Slide back and forth between the maps and you can see how the river position might have changed, and if the bridge is still in the same place.

This is the most helpful tip I think I can give you.

Got a few interesting hits away from the main search area.....hard to tell if even related, but might be worth checking out. The green was getting an archaeological type hit in that area.

Thanks very much Red Desert, and everyone who contributed. Ill let you know how it comes out. I wish my old friend Loyd Parsons were still alive to help me go for it

Hello Trooper733,
In both pictures, dowsing revealed an attraction to gold and silver (small coin caches)in the areas of the white circles.
Loose coins in the white rectangle area.
Orange rectangle, part of meteorite strewn field. Orange circles are pinpoint concentration areas of chondrite meteorites.
Thanks for posting your pictures.
