Lost Treasure ~ Wallace Creek Idaho

- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- Around the World, things have been found, then lost again. Some have been found again, but there's a LOT out there that hasn't!
Who doesn't love a Treasure Hunt? Reading about them is fun, but when it's a place I can go to, it's even more fun!
This book is about Lost Treasures here in Idaho, but I hope maybe it will give you some ideas and spur you to look into Lost Treasures in your own area.
Anyone can grab a metal detector and go to a park, school ground, campground, fairground, beach.....almost any public place....and look for lost coins or jewelry!
Ask before digging holes though! It's not nearly as fun if you get a ticket for vandalism!
This book is about Idaho, but I bet there is a similar one for your state, or area you live in?
Enjoy!
Wonderful sunrise 🌄 Thanks for sharing the book. Have a great day ❤
THANKS! Another pretty one today too!
Your video brought back memories for me. For many years I too was very much into treasure hunting and gold prospecting. I had my best luck hunting nuggets with a metal detector in both Arizona dry washes as well as here in Alaska. I had a 3 inch suction dredge for a few years but didn't really use it much since it was quite involved to carry into areas, set up and use. I usually went by myself on those trips so had no help in packing. Nugget detecting was more productive with lighter equipment for me.
Good Morning Lonnie! Great to see ya! Our gold here has mostly been picked over pretty hard. What I have found, has been small. A big piece is about the size of one these letters. It's still a lot of fun to do, and even better on a hot day. I've never found any with a metal detector, but in fairness, I haven't tried all that much either.
That was interesting! I like the way you tell these stories. It's like fireside chats. Keep it up. Thanks for sharing, have a good day!
GREAT! Thank you! I hope I can go try to find some of them this Summer!
Good morning all you fine folks!! I ain't been in snow that deep since i was a kid!! My little dog would disappear in some of that!!😂😂 This was pretty cool! Thank you for sharing!!
Good Morning! I like Winter and having seasons. Snow is fun, but it's nice to see it go again too. There's some neat stuff in these books. It's fun to think about this stuff!!!

Its definitely cool finding old things in the middle of nowhere!makes you wonder for sure.have a good day!
It really is. I always wonder "Why here"?
Beautiful sunrise, Gary! History is so interesting. That was my best subject in school. I sure do enjoy historical stories. Thank you, my friend! Have a good day.
Good Morning!
Today had another really pretty sunrise! I just got done filming it, but haven't sped it up yet. I like history too. At least the natural type stuff, like old mines, outlaw hideouts, Indian camps and ruins,.....more that old buildings and cities,......ghost towns, and old cabins, now that's a different story! Cloudy here today, looks like it might rain. Have a great day!
Love the local history. Sunrise was real nice too. 👍👍
Thanks! There was a pretty one this morning also.
I love the salmony hue off the snow at low sunlight. My first impression of the Arctic, when I was there were the same colors. How are we going to know where we are going if we don't know where we came from. We must never forget the lessons history teaches us. Have a nice day.
Very true. It's fun to look into this stuff!
I’m with you. Love that kind of sleuthing for old history. Retired now so may be able to spend more time at it.
Good! It is kinda fun!
I look forward to your daily posts Gary. Thank you.
Good! Thank you Frank! It's not easy sometimes to find something!
I love all those lost mine stories
Me too! There's a lot of mines in this area. I'm hoping to go poke around some of them this Summer.
Good morning. Always some cool stories from back in the day. I hope someone finds his mine. I guess nobody will really ever know for certain. Have a nice day
Good Morning! Not unless they find it! It's fun to think about, but I'm not going to go broke looking for it!
What a magnificent sunrise God has blessed you with this morning. You're lucky to have such wonderful views .
That's for sure! There was another pretty one today!
Beautiful scenery! Great bit of history. Thanks for sharing it.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Good evening Muskrat, Ya I like history myself, its easy to get information these days on lot's of stuff. Thanks for Sharing. 😊
It's a lot of fun when it's a spot you can go to.
Good morning friend be safe out there 👍
Good Morning! You too!
Good Day!!! Interesting history lesson !
Good morning! Thanks!
Very interesting. I read some where recently that 10% or less of the worlds gold has ever been found. That to me means there is a lot left to find, but there is a lot of area it could be hiding in. Good luck on your quest, my friend. PB
True! Most of what I've found has been really tiny, but it's still fun!
Good morning!! Interesting stories. Just remember that if you strike it rich someday with gold, I’m a close friend in need of $. Lol
Good morning! Ha! Gotta find it first!
Thanks for another great video. I'm planning on going panning myself this summer. Ought to be fun. Outside of steamboat springs there's a creek called Wallace Creek and a story of lost gold. But as you can tell it's in Colorado. Quite a few around steamboat. Oh well, I just want to have fun. Idaho or Montana. Can't wait.
Have fun! I end up too busy here, but I want to go some this Summer too. I found out last night, looking on the computer, there is another Wallace Creek....it's a branch of Owl Creek down river....that one might be Cleveland's mine? It's not in the Wilderness area, but might have been in the "Primitive area" before it was designated "Wilderness"? Fun to think about! For you, you might as well pan some along with antler hunting and other things you are doing anyway. It's one hobby you might strike it rich, or find nothing at all. Part of the fun is not knowing, but a fella wants to win once in awhile.
Interesting story Gary. Enjoy your day. 🇺🇲🔪🔥🌲
Thanks, you too!
Interesting stories! Would love to hear more of them!
GOOD! More to come!
Great bit of history there thanks Gary. Sounds to me that you might be up one heck of a great summer. I hope it works for you
I hope so too! It never seems to work out though....
Interesting stories, thanks for sharing
It is. There's some really neat stuff in these books. Thank you for watching it too!
Really fun video! And the best hat on the internet by far🙂
You’ve earned a new subscriber 👍🏻
GREAT! Welcome!! I've got a neat one coming soon about Old Man Bender. The serial killer family from the Old West. Still studying up on it...
Thank you , so interesting.!
THANKS! I think it's pretty neat really. It would sure be fun to find some of this!
Interesting for sure, thanks
It's fun to think about.
Have a great day 😊
Thank you! You too!
Morning fine sir 🌻
Good Morning!
Good morning MR muskrat ❤ have a good day and God bless my friend.....that Indian name u said...means (money)... so it means (money creek)... just so u know my friend.... I am from fort hall Idaho !!
Good Morning! Good to know! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! I have a lot of interest in that sort of thing. Back in 2000, I worked in a Forest Fire camp with some of the folks from Fort Hall. I sure had fun with those guys!
@@MuskratOutdoors 💯 😍
"Gold is where you find it." Still rings true to me but it ain't always that simple!
That's for sure JR. I'm still pretty lost with the hard rock stuff too....
Good morning😊
Good morning Amye!
Sounds like you might need to invest in a metal detector ! It would be neat to find a gold cache that someone had hidden so they wouldn't get robbed.
I actually have one. I need to dig it out and try it.
Gary, I've read the same story about the Chinese miners being murdered there too!! And the dam being blown out to cover it up!
Do you remember where you read it? I've been looking with no luck!
What would you change if you struck it rich?
I'd own a piece of land of my own.....that's about it. There's not a lot that I need or want, but right now, I have nothing.
👍
Good Morning!
Thatd be fun to go up in the mountains to pan for gold .
It sure is! Maybe this Summer.....
@@claycomb556 I sure will! I have some older videos where I found some.

@@MuskratOutdoors I’d get gold fever ,lol
History
Yes it is. Fun to think about.....
Gold weighs heavy on the heart. Gold is a thirst that nothing can fill. Just one more ounce.
Exactly! It's hard to find, and never enough....
Not to far from that sign I found my first Morel first one in two weeks looking lol but we got into them after
That was fun, wasn't it? I wonder how many there will be this year? They say the second year isn't as good.... Hows yer Paw?
China springs murders were done by the same guys who tried to kill c.walker lyons. They did kill c walkers partner at spring creek i believe. A few of them were deputies. C walker lyon is a interesting character his son was a lawyer in town for many years. The family used to own the building next to the smoke house and where the new library is now. Old man lyon hunted all five of them down and supposedly killed them.one in Arizona, one near chicago and i cant remember about the others. Those families are still in salmon for the most part.
WOW! Very neat! Cindy took care of the Lyon's yard for years. I'll have to find out more about this! Thanks for telling me!
I have that book there are a lot of stories that don't add up in it
I think a lot of them are tall tales told for free drinks in a bar someplace.
Did you make it out prospecting yet? 🥇💰🤑😁
Nope....but I still want to!!!!
