What treasure would you like to find?

[jotheunissen]

There's a legend that somewhere is a McDonalds that has a... WORKING ice-cream machine
Yeah, an actual functioning ice-cream machine, I can't believe it either

[emilioidk]

i wonder how many "hidden treasures" have been found just the people didnt want the public to know for they can sell it without headaches

[lightningboltt]

The rarest legend is a good and honest politican

Growing up in southern West Virginia, there were a few times when my father would tell me that there were stories he heard as a child about treasure being buried somewhere in the hills nearby, though he never went into any sort of specifics. This region, the Greenbrier Valley, is one of the most cave-rich areas on the planet, and it would not be a huge stretch to imagine someone tucking a sizable stash away somewhere without prying eyes. If anything, the 'thousand-year floods' of 2016 might have flushed something loose that might be a very pleasant surprise.

I live in a town near the bottom of the superstition mountains called Apache Junction. We see alot of people die during the summer because tourists want to try and find the gold. I don't have much options about it and whether the gold is real or not but I do participate in the lost Dutchmans Mud Run lmao. It can get real spooky out there at night tho. There is always a pair of eyes on you.

I can't be the only one who saw Blackbeard and a devil fruit on the thumbnail!

The Beale ciphers treasure vault based on the fact that they used the declaration of Independence as a key sounds like national treasure. Ayo Nicholas Cage where you at?! We might need a third sequel for that.

was surprised to not see D.B. Copper on here but i guess he got away with a relatively small amount of money if you compare it to the other ones.

You forgot the Ark of the Covenant. Hidden in a secret government warehouse.

[rythianblacktheblackemporium]

Yeah imagine you are a treasure hunter and spent a lifetime trying to find a buried treasure. And the moment you get close the FBI rolls up and says
"Sorry. We want that"

In my home state of Michigan, there is believed to be a ship that sunk in one of the Great Lakes containing gold, jewels and other valuables
To this day no one has ever recovered it

In the early 80s, I lived in Safety Harbor Florida, we moved there when I was 7, and by the time I was 10 I was treasure hunting on the bay between SH and Tampa. We had a park with a very large hill and at the top were stairs that went down to a very small beach with a lot of rocks. During really bad storms or Hurricanes, things would wash up into shallow waters or the beach itself. I found a gold cross about 5 inches long after Hurricane Elena passed Florida. It was from the mid-1880s and a few people with metal detectors found coins and other objects from that time period. A lot of ships have sunk in Tampa bay area. I've found old bottles and a metal plate before.

Like so many others, this video is a true inspiration, thank

A more recent treasure hunt occurred in Montana. The Forest Fenn’s hunt. If I remember right, an author wrote a story that inspired many to believe there was a treasure hidden in Montana. Treasure hunters scoured for years. Eventually, one man (unnamed) found the riches. There are several news stories about this since it’s recent.

The only reason I know this, is because my wife and I ran into a “crazy old man” claiming to be searching for this treasure for years, in a bar in Missoula. Just a few weeks after meeting this man, this story came out in the news.

I believe the lost Dutchman has been found… it was an old piralta mine.. one of the directions says east… except you have to go west… rice sized gold

[masterklaw]

Maybe the real friends are the treasure we found around the way.

If Blackbeard was still alive, he would get all the ladies with his treasure.
