The Adventures of Cherokee Kidd.

The caches that I'm looking for are silver and gold coins . 2 of the caches are buried in a area that's now woods but when they were buried there was a cabin there and the caches were buried near the cabin. Another cache that I'm looking for is a cache of gold .

Hey Kid! Good luck on your quest. I'm trying to get permission to dig around "Jimmys" place but the city owns it now and I am having a very hard time with them. Don't know how reliable my info is, but I would LOVE to check it out.
If ya need any help or want to compare notes, PM me.
P.S. I would rather spend my Sundays Digging than watchin the Broncos

Thanks for letting us know more All I really wanted to know was if it's silver, gold, gems, bottles, etc. Details not required.

If I had started a topic like this and did find a substantial cache, I would have to post pics, it would kill me not to. Granted it wouldn't be in my "usual username", I would go to the local library or the nearest area with public wi-fi and join as a new member using a new name and post some pics with a short story, no specific details, no shots too close as to identify too much and then I would thank "myself" (usual username) for giving me the clues that lead me to the cache, but that's me. Good luck Cherokee_Kidd.

Having started thunting back in the 60s, I personally knew two people that had their houses broken into to get their finds because they ran their mouths. Back in the early 70s I was audited by IRS, and the subject of my finds came up over and over again. Probably said too much somewhere or p*zzed someone off. If you ever get audited keep asking them if you can depreciate your detector. P^zzed him off because he had to keep running down the hall to check the laws. I finally got the audit ended by asking him if I signed any of the papers would I be giving up any of my rights guaranteed ne by the constitution. He got up gathered up all the papers & left the office. After a helf hour he came back with a cup of coffee & said "You still here? We're done".

Next time you're researching try looking up treasures stolen in California in the 1970s. You old timers probably recall who I'm talking about. Also, in the last two or three years several nugget shooters in Arizona have had their nuggies & equipment stolen from their houses. (Hint Prescott area).

And finally, think about it. The treasure trove laws< If you dig anything older than clad, you're basicly breaking a law. Best bet is to say nothing live long stay safe and happy and don't tell the ex anything!!!

Keep your coins and other expenses items and treasure in bank safe deposit boxes and keep your big mouth shut.

 

[Cherokee_Kidd]

Yep I see all of your points. I know a guy who's one of those guys that supposedly found something only to lose it because he showed his so called bestfriend. I'll never admit to finding anything because people can't be trusted.

I wanted to give everyone a little info about who buried the cache I'll be searching for and when it was buried etc. The information I have seems to suggest that it was buried in 1865 by a group of men who robbed a stagecoach , they buried it near what was at the time a larger town but today little is left of the town. None of the men were ever able to return to the site where they buried the cache because they were killed in a shootout with lawmen and a posse soon after they buried it. The research I've done also suggests that the same men who buried this cache may have buried others because they were wanted for several other robberies . I also found info on another possible cache that was buried in 1867 by a man heading east from what info I found I think he was a miner but I'm not sure why he buried it, I did find info suggesting his body was found near where the info says the cache is buried but the details as to what happened or why he was killed seem to be sketchy at best.

I read these types of treasure stories all the time. Bad guys rob bank/train/etc., posse kills them in shoot out, money is not recovered and assumed buried.

I like to read between the lines, and here is what I think actually happened in a lot these incidences. Posse kills them in gun fight recovers money, and then decides to split it up between the posse in pay for risking their lives in a shoot out, instead of taking it back to some fat cat banker, who probably has mortgages on all the posse's homes.

When some one is trying to kill you, and you are risking your life to defend another mans coins, I bet a simple "thank you" is not gonna cut it.

Put yourself in the posse's shoes, you killed the bad guys, isn't that the most important thing?

I bet this is what really happened in a lot of cases.
