When we're researching our historic legends, we are constantly running into tales of buried treasure.

Perhaps while you're venturing to a ghost town, exploring a scenic byway, or just passing by a place that otherwise may be without historic value, a treasure lurks beneath the ground.

From the Spanish Conquistadors, to western outlaws, to simple pioneers crossing the prairie, legends abound regarding where these hardy pioneers hid their valuables.
