Lost Treasure In Minnesota

Quite often a person sees someone asking just that.

The same question wondering about lost treasure in Minnesota.

Well,I suppose there are some lost treasures of some sort burried in the days when banks were not trusted,and perhaps that trend is starting once again,because I certainly don't trust the bankers.

Cash is pretty much printed paper these days,and when that goes belly up,I wouldn't count on the banks opening their doors to the patrons who had safety deposit boxes,to get their belongs either.

But anyways,and back to the article at hand.

The question remains,where to look for lost treasures in Minnesota.

Your guess is as good as mine..hahahaha :)

I'm not aware of any sunken ships here in any of the lakes,carrying a cargo of gold bullion.

I've never heard of any Native American Burial Ground accidentally discovered,that contained gold relics of any sort,and also believe no loot of any sort has been burried here.At least not any I'm aware of.

I believe the last glacier retreated a little over 7000 years ago,and that past humans after that time did not have an understanding of gold,and precious metals.It was survival at its best,and relics that were precious to them are long decomposed.However the artifacts made of flint & stone are still being found today,but to metal detectors that's a different ballgame.

However,when I do detect.I keep a careful eye out for an arrowhead,and try to do two things at once when out in the field.

With all this being said,the only thing that could be consider a lost treasure here in the state of precious metal standards,would be items of European in nature when the first settlers arrived.

So we're looking at the last two,to 300 years at best.

Did they lose any chests of gold,and silver back in those days?

Maybe had some stolen,and perhaps a bank robber might of burried some loot,but even when I look into the robberies that have happened here in the historical records.Most the bastards were caught,and loot is seldomed burried.

Pirates perhaps burried their treasures,but that's not a common traite for a theif here in the early days.

Yea,yea,yea..I've read the stories of boats sinking in lakes that had payrolls for the loggers,and some type of treasure burried by the Mississippi River.

They make great stories,and some of these tales are true,but if a person thinks he's going to unearth some of these lost finds with his metal detector,well I certainly wish them the best of luck.

Try reframing the word "treasure".

There are so many precious relics here in the state,that even if it's a rusted object made of iron,the find itself is interesting enough to me.

Not all iron relics I consider a glee of joy,but sometimes there is that unique item that makes a person dwell back in time,and wonder on its history.

I'm not plugging any books here,and have nothing to sell.

So you'll get more honesty here from someone,than those who do have something to sell.

So when it comes to lost treasure in Minnesota.I leave those stories for the kids.

It is what it is on what you find,and another mans trash,is another mans treasure.

I'll write more on this,and the feedback comes in.
