Lost War of 1812 Gold in Old Lake Bed
An old lake bed in South Pine Bluff, Arkansas is rumored to be hiding a vast amount of gold coins that were lost when a vessel was sunk during the War of 1812. In 1899, treasure seekers leased the land attempting to recover the lost treasure, but were unable to locate it, so it still remains out there to be found today.
The Lost Bee Creek Treasure
Native American renegades being pursued by white men buried two metal containers filled with gold coins near the road that skirted Bee Creek in north-central Arkansas. After burning their wagons over the site, they slipped away, planning to return later, but most were killed. One of the surviving Indians told a settler who lived near Bee Creek about the lost treasure after he had searched the area years later and couldn’t locate the spot as it no longer looked the same, but as far as anyone knows, it has never been found.

The Old Man and His Gold
During the Civil War, an old man near Baldwin Creek in the Ozarks hid a purse full of gold pieces in the woods not far from his cabin under the cover of darkness when Union gunfire was nearby. He then died or was killed before he could recover it, and despite his surviving wife turning over every rock and searching the mountain, she was never able to find his treasure. Explore More
