LEGENDS OF THE OLD WEST | Swindlers Ep5 - “Fool’s Gold”

LEGENDS OF THE OLD WEST presented by Black Barrel Media. Charles Baggs, who became known as Doc Baggs, followed the gold rush to Colorado in the late 1850s. He quickly decided that there were easier ways to make money than by mining for gold. For years, he ran elaborate cons in Denver, and he always found ways to outwit the legal system.

@Chris 3 years ago you did the DB Cooper story and in Ep.4 your guest brought up the Fenn Treasure Hunt. It’s been 4 years since I started searching to the week and yesterday I heard in this episode you explained what a Bunko Steerer is. That was very interesting because Fenn told a story about his Father on the Banco “Never mind how it sounds like Ban COVID” Anyways as the story goes Fenn did a deal and his father was witness to it. Banco or Pronounced Bunko was not in my dictionary. The man here got it off on a technicality because of a word, but Fenn did say he had a knack for things. Knack was in my dictionary, aword for TRICK. 4 years ago I was in Cody. The next time I was there, was after my family and I had attended the last ff gathering and we happen to be given or lured with tickets to Cody’s museum and Fenn “supposedly” died soon after. So was he a Swindler or Jack? Either way he mention a lot of things parallel. History might repeat itself… Somewhere there is poison and I may have the solution, like Arm and Hammer to acid. Eric Sloane apparently knew them. -CC
