The long legend of Minerva gold

The lure of lost gold has been drawing people to the Minerva area for nearly 200 years.
Psychics, plumbers and townsfolk have hunted for it, armed with shovels, witch-hazel rods and mining equipment.

Some say the legend is a bunch of bunk. Others promise the gold and silver are out there somewhere, its hiding spot shrouded by thorn thickets and trees.

It’s been years since the last big dig. But locals and those from afar still dream of unraveling the riddle and finding the riches, estimated to be worth nearly $30 million.

The thrill of it all! #1. Research(most thorough) #2. On site hunt(permission granted) #3. Potential recovery. There is so much more to all of the above. My biggest thrill is uncovering a treasure lead. Preparation, planning and finally hunting for the treasure is my next biggest thrill. Observing nature, the natural beauty of the surroundings and the peace and solitude is my next biggest thrill. The recalled memories of that event as i get older are the next biggest thrill, but believe it or not, the finding and recovery of that treasure is my least biggest thrill. The finding of the treasure is the cake. All of the rest of the above is the icing....
