Buried Treasures of the Great Plains

The dusty trails heading west of the Mississippi provided intrigue, adventure, and danger for the men and women who set out in search of a new life and fortune. Outlaws along with pioneers and forty-niners traveled this frontier often, finding and losing riches along the way. The Great Plains region loaded with history from native Americans, Spanish explorers, and Mexican, German, and Scots-Irish settlers holds some of the country's most promising finds for buried treasure.
