LOST TREASURE

As in other areas of the US, there are several tales of lost treasure in Nebraska concerning caches buried for safety.  In many of these stories, people either died or forgot where they buried the stash.  Contributing factors include:  

    1.  Federal laws making possession of gold illegal in the early 1900s

    2.  Distrust of banks during the Great Depression. 

  • Jesse James is said to have hidden loot in many places.  One of the most likely locations is at Devil's Nest near Crafton, Knox County.
  • $40,000 stolen from a bank in Kearney is supposedly hidden near Sargent, Custer County.
  • Gold miners returning from California were robbed near Lexington, Dawson County, and their treasure was buried in the area.
