Have you ever buried some treasure before?
Probably not.
Its not something the average person does.
Perhaps thats why were so fascinated about the stories of people burying or losing their
treasure - especially when it could be still out there, right now, for you to find.
Which one of these looks like the safest best?
My name is Danny Burke and this is the top 10 treasures you can still find today.
Starting off at number 10 now we have Dutch Schultz Fortune.
Dutch Schultz was an American mobster who amassed a fortune in the 20s and 30s through
organises crime, bootlegging and racketeering.
In 1933, he was said to have hidden 7 million dollars in cash in an airtight safe somewhere
in New Yorks Catskills mountains.
He did this because he was about to go to trial for tax evasion and wanted to protect
his money for when he made it out.
In the end, he didnt get a long sentence but was fatally shot 2 years later.
His last words seemed to give clues about where the hidden safe was - but it wasnt very
clear.
Every year, a group of treasure hunters meet in the Catskills mountains to look for Schultzs
treasure.
Theyve had no luck yet, but theres always next year …
Next up at number 9 we have Butch Cassidy.
He was an American criminal legend and a name that often comes up in any conversation about
the wild west.
His gang was called the Wild Bunch and they would rob banks, trains and businessman.
They ended up with an insane amount of wealth but as you might expect, they lived their
lives on the run from the law.
Because of this, the gang were said to have buried 21,000 dollars in a place called Irish
Canyon while travelling through Moffat County in Colorado.
Its not a big place - and those who believe the story are determined to find it one day
…
Coming in at number 8 we have The Golden Owl.
Regis Hauser was a French writer and puzzle designer who went by the name Max Valentin.
He once wrote a book called -On The Trail of The Golden Owl- … it contained 11 clues
for discovering a golden owl which he buried 80 inches deep into the ground somewhere in
France.
He buried the golden owl on April 24th, 1993 and 3:30 AM - since then nobody has found
it.
He expected that someone would find the owl in less than 14 months.
He was wrong.
He spent 450 hours on designing the clues along.
You can check out the official website and if youre ever in France, try and follow the
clues that lead to the famous Golden Owl.
At number 7 now we have the Lost Dutchmans Gold Mine.
This is perhaps the most famous lost mine in American history.
In the 19th century, Jacob Waltz was a German immigrant to the US who claimed he had discovered
a lost gold mine in the Superstition Mountains of central Arizona.
It contained a fortunes worth of gold but Jacob never told anyone its location except
for his carer.
She was unable to decipher what he meant though and since then, countless explorers have set
out trying to find the Lost Dutchmans Gold Mine.
Moving on to number 6 now we have Fenn Treasure.
This is a treasure reportedly worth millions of dealers said to be hidden somewhere in
the Rocky Mountains by author Forrest Fenn.
He left 1 - 3 million dollars worth of gold, jewelry and other valuable artifacts for people
to find.
Why?
Well Fenn said he -just wanted to give people some hope … hes left a number of clues which
many have solved, he said that some people have come within just 200ft of the treasure
- but still it remains hidden!
Next up at number 5 we have The Ciphers.
Legend has it that in 1816, a man called Thomas Beale was with a few men, mining in the Rocky
mountains, when they discovered a huge amount of gold and silver.
By todays estimates, its estimated to be worth 63 million dollars.
They wanted to make sure their next of kin would get the treasure if they died so they
hid it somewhere and wrote 3 ciphers.
The 1st told the location of the treasure, the 2nd described the contents of the treasure
and the 3rd was a list of the mens names and their next of kin. Beale left it with a friend
and told him to wait 10 years before opening it.
If he had not returned by that point, a key to the cipher was supposed to be mailed to
the frient.
It never came.
Since then, codebreakers all over the world have tried to decode the ciphers and discover
the treasure …
Next up at number 4 we have Quin Shi Huang.
He was the 1st emperor of a unified China in the 3rd century BC.
He was so revered that when he died, his tomb was essentially a vast underground city, surrounded
by his famous terracotta soldiers.
That was all discovered in 1974 but archaeologists believe there is much more ti find down there.
They have to be careful though because the mercury in the ground could poison the underground
streams.
Who will be the first to find the treasures that are yet to be found there?
Next up at number 3 we have the Treasure At Little Bighorn.
Some of you may have heard of the battle of little bighorn with General Custers last stand.
Well, just before the men went into battle, they were give 4 months of back pay in the
form of gold, silver and money.
As you may know, they lost the battle.
The native americans stripped the dead bodies of all their belongs including the gold and
silver and hid it all in a secret location.
According to the story, Two Moons, a Cheyanne chieftan, told a trader about the lost Custer
treasure and drew a map for him - but to this day the treasure has never been found.
Moving on to number 2 now we have The Pearls of the Salton Sea.
The story goes that in 1615, Spanish explorer Juan de Iturbe embarked on a pearl harvesting
expedition in the Gulf of California.
A high tide left him in the salton sea and unable to escape and so he abandoned his ship
- with a fortune of black pearls on board.
There have been reports of the treasure being found in the hundreds of years since then,
but no real evidence.
This has led many modern treasure hunters to believe the black pearls are still out
there, waiting to be claimed …
And finally at number 1 we have the Lake Toplitz Gold.
This lake is situated in the forests of the Austrian alps.
Its seclusion led the Nazis to use it as a naval testing station during the 2nd world
war.
When the war looked like it was going to be lost, the Nazis began dumping all their valuables
into the lake which has a max depth of 338ft.
Some say they poured fortunes of gold and diamonds overboard just so the allies couldnt
get their hands on it.
Many divers and treasure hunters have died while searching for the gold which is still
thought to be on the lakes floor.
