Buried Treasure you say Matey ?
Well it is very possible small amounts of buried treasure is in fact all over the tri-state area. from buried union gold during the civil war to criminals who stashed goods away to even small caches hidden away .
Take into consideration all the tragedy's that have happened where there where mass casualty's like Johnstown and even the St Patrick's day flood of 1936 and great mine disasters such as Darr and Monogah .
In all these case's you had many early immigrants who came to this country and who did not trust banks and secretly hid away money and valuables some times in their homes many times buried out in a back yard many times not even the closest relatives knew about it and many came by themselves to America so no one but the person who buried it knows about it , and in some of these cases with entire family's destroyed such as Johnstown no one knows where the treasure was buried by a family member .
The treasure could well be a small cache of Paper Money, Coins, small jewelry etc. all waiting to be found which is why it is so much fun to take metal detectors around old coal mining and mill towns never know what you will find.
Even in the past few decades they are still finding buried artifacts like a decomposed rail car from the Johnstown Flood so anything is possible including find a dead body .
Plus you hear story's all the time about contractors working in old homes finding stashes .
So dream on yes there very well could be gold in those hills , old structures and old foundation remains just waiting to be found.
But always remember to do so respectfully and obey all laws .
