Fifty Dollar Octagon Gold Coin Cache In Nothern Calif

[ScottC]

The Railroad came through a little town in Northern Calif right around 1872. The workers were Chinese, and they camped on someone's private property, and let their livestock feed on the land owners wheat field. The land owner noticed this and demanded they get off his property. They did not leave, so the land owner shot the head forman and the workers attacked the land owner with shovels, leaving him for dead. He was found by a neighbor, who took him to the doctor, he was in a coma and did not regain consciousness before he died the next day.

This landowner did not trust banks, instead he buried his money in a cast iron pot, where he had upwards of 200 gold coins, many of which were octagon in shape. Witnessed by 2 people in his family, who watched him count the coins several times on the kitchen table, then disappeared out the back door for about fifteen minutes.

I know all this because my father was a great researcher, and I know where the property is located, I found the house and barn locations from the outline of square nails in the ground. I have searched the property several times, both in a grid and hotspotting, but no luck, yet.

Hey Scott did you know that some of the old timers would wire links of chain to high tree branches to mark cache locations!
