Ever since I made my first post in regard to the 'St. Ledger Lost Revolutionary War payroll Treasure' .. I can't stop thinking about it! Even though I'm well over a thousand miles away in Florida and should be out hitting the beach, I've been secretly making plans for a 2010 'North Woods Metal Detector Assault' on Jefferson and Lewis Counties in Upstate New York!
I will be recruiting a small 'elite force' of Detectoid's for this mission with a couple of different ' Treasure leads' in mind. I do need some local intel ... so if your on scene and have already done some research or you would like to pool resources, just let me know!
I have no doubt that at least one of the Lost Treasure tales will bear fruit ...
I think I have an idea where this treasure is located. My family has had a cottage on Chaumont Bay since 1964. I know this bay and area very well. I do not want to share what I know about this in an post, but would like to meet you if you do come up here this year. Please leave a post if you are interested Thanks Dave
ReplyDeleteHey David, yes I'm always interested in meeting fellow detectors! Sounds like you might live in Upstate NY? I'll be back in the Syracuse area in about a week from now .
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of detector are you using ?
Do you like to do any shallow water hunting ?? Let me know, Danny P
I live in Rochester. When are you going to be in Syracuse? I could meet you in Syracuse.
ReplyDeleteHey Dan, Frank Pandozzi here - how you do'in? I've just had a chance to stop by your blog. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteAbout the Ledger treasure. I believe it was located. When we were filming I was introduced to a guy in NYC who was a treasure hunter. He told me about a guy he knew who located the treasure. This guy came into a bunch of money and suddenly moved to NM. That's what makes the story he told me real.
Later,
Hey Frank, Thank you ..
ReplyDeleteI was thinking that somebody or someone had to have found it by now .. I have read or heard of at least four different versions of the story.
But .. I guess we will have to just keep looking !!
Dan, you guys are going about it the wrong way. There are hundreds of treasures within any 10 mile radius of most towns, cities and villages. They are the ones you never read about, or heard of. You need to expand your research beyond the usual treasure stories. Those are the ones that everyone is looking for.
ReplyDeleteThe banking institute a few years back estimated that there was approximately 40 BILLION dollars buried or hidden away. That's a lot of loot Dan.
I've been to AZ, NM, Ohio, Missouri, PA, SD, Col, Kan, and Mich treasure hunting and filming treasure stories that no one else knows about. I hear from people all the time who are finding large and small treasures that they have uncovered through efforts other than reading about it in a book. The stuff is out their my friend. You just gotta expand your vision.
Stay in touch
Frank
When I was very little about 10 years old their was a story in a local paper about a farmer who was out tilling a field turned up a British coin from the 1700's. The area were he found the coin was not settled till the 1850's. So my question is way was that coin in that feild? It had not good reason to be there, unless. You get my point. I realy want to look for the treasure just don't know how to go about it.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I forget to mention the coin was found on the Point in Chaumont Bay
ReplyDeleteBack in about 1972 The St Lawrence seaway authority did not let enough water out of lake Ontario to accommodate spring thaw and the high water eroded away six feet of dirt on the shore line. In a spot located on this map near Point Peninsula about 2 feet below the surface of the ground I found a coin. My brother has the coin. It was silver. British.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find the coin? What was the kind of coin was it? What was the date on the coin?
