OK Here is one for ya to wonder about. This is the way I remember my grandfather telling the story to me and my brother, way back when I was 8or9!!
I understood that in 1918 my grandfather and his brother heard of an old man who had disappeared. When he had been around he always had gold to pay for whatever he purchased. After 3 mths his family had him declared deceased and went in to clean up his stuff. They decided that his shack was an eyesore and started to tear it down, in the process $180,000 was recovered in nuggets some supposedly the size of a fist found in the floors and walls!
Grandpa and his brother remembered a spot they had seen the year before that looked like an old mine but thought nothing of it till they hear this story! They went back and looked for this place but never could find it. Assumption is that the shaft had collapsed and killed both the man and the mules since they had never come home!
