Whatever Happened to Roy Roush?

[Michigan Badger]

I think most everyone who has ever done much treasure hunting knows the name "Roy Rouch." He has been called "The patriarch of Treasure hunting."

I haven't read much about Roy in years. Always wanted to meet him but it wasn't meant to be I guess.

How is Roy doing these days? I wonder what he thinks about THE TREASURE OF THE CAHUENGA PASS? Is it still there to be found?

I've always thought they should have used a good bloodhound trained to sniff old rotting bags like those the treasure was buried in originally. After all, the only part of the treasure that has ever been found, was found by a dog. It's a long shot but there may still be an ultra weak detectable scent.

Anybody out there heard tell of Roy lately??

Roy is still around. He just wrote a book about the KGC. I got a copy and it's a good read.

Roy is? still around.? He just wrote a book about the KGC.? I got a copy and it's a good read.

Thanks, I saw Roy in that Treasure film they made back in the 80's. While I do read I?m more of a film person when it comes to my hobby. My job keeps me so busy and is so intellectually demanding that when I get some rare leisure time to relax I want to watch a video.

I wonder why in the world the documentary filmmakers don?t use guys like Roy more?? ?Roy has the knowledge and charisma to make hunting pull tabs exciting.

Where the heck are the treasure film makers?

Zeb?I did a ?google? with no success. Are you spelling the name correctly? I ?googled? the name ?Roy Roush? and ?more fantasy books about the KGC? and did not receive any hits.

Good luck, Jim

Na! From what I hear Bigfoot is too conservative to live in California.

Well I saw Roy the other day. And He's doing fine. He has written a couple of books KGC one of 'em. He's a phd in archeology. Still Treasure Hunting if time allows, He's well and we're friends.

Hi all, I went to a gunshow in Glendale Ca Saturday and lo and behold guess who was there autographing his KGC book. Roy. I am new to metal detecting and wasnt aware of who he was until I read this thread late last week and then to meet him Saturday was really nice. We spoke for a few minutes and I went on my way. Seems to be a nice guy. TMAN...
