2 Tales of Lost Treasure & Loot in the Wild West...

For millennia, folks around the world have passed down stories of lost treasure both by land and by sea. Across all corners of the planet, you’re bound to happen upon a tale of buried gold, misplaced riches, or disappeared diamonds, no matter who it is you speak to or whatever ledger you pick up and read. Some treasure stories revolve around ancient artifacts detailing the past lives of lost civilizations, resources of newfound knowledge and historical enlightenment. Others revolve around mankind’s inherent drive towards wealth and fortune, often coming with lessons on greed, materialism, and the consequences of conquest.

Usually, these types of tales take place on the coasts of untamed waters or in unexplored territories of countries far from America, much less the western frontier. However, when taking a closer look at the records and textbooks detailing life in the American west, you’ll find there are plenty of similar stories regarding gold, artifacts, and other legendary loot circulating around west of the Mississippi River. Thus, to better grasp the lore surrounding treasure-laden quests from across the frontier, here are two tales of lost treasure originating in the wild west…

There's more than this out there. Many smaller cashes from robberies on the road. Wisely hiding the lot in the ground near where those robberies took place.

Didn’t know the French went west of the Mississippi

That loot belonged to the original people that was on the land, not the Siberian people. They were left over here after that war and was made the native Americans while the native Americans agreed to be from Africa.

Who got the valuable hooting tokens? That's where the historical value obviously lies for academia. 🤔🤱

Searching for treasure requires learning the physics involved in dowsing. Read and study the book, The Art of Dowsing - Separating Science from Superstition ($14.95), for leaning all of the physics involved in dowsing and how to build the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod, which accurately gauges what is being dowsed by pitting the energy of gravity against the energizing of the one-tenth ounce dowsing of load that is attach on the elevated acetylene welding rod, with being five-inches away from the hub's shaft. This precisely gauges the dowsing of all edges, exact center, depth buried with angle of deposition, and most important is grading of the sought element that is contained in the elemental mass that is being dowsed. Anyone can become a professional dowser by practicing the book's dowsing lessons of buried pipelines and electrical cables, tunnels and voids, precious metal placer and lode deposits, dowsing for treasure, dowsing for any element, amplified long distance dowsing from a moving vehicle, and dowsing on water from a boat. I hope dowsing enriches your life and have a safe, healthy, good day.
