The 200-Year Search For The Cursed Treasure Hoard Of The Rocky Mountains

[@machetevelasco4215]

If I go through all the trouble in a cave with the possibility of finding 34 million worth I'll be having snake, bats and owl for dinner

The problem I have with this story is it would have taken a furnace and some way to crush the ore to get ingots from it. 5 guys most likely couldn't have mined millions of dollars in gold and smelted it too.

[@autotek7930]

Arastra and coal fired smelter, ancient technology that's very well documented all over anywhere the Spanish visited .

It was 300 men

[@MarshallJohnson-b8k]

No way they could mine gold for 4 months and the Indians didn't stop them on the 2nd day. Nothing unusual about bats, owl and a snake in a cave. No way the only survivor is the journalist and not a miner or two. No gold brought back, only a map and tales of cannabilism and no mention of the location of the graves of 300 Frenchmen and yet he sent a copy of the map to the French government! People believe because they want to believe, not because of any objective evidence. If this story was true, LeBlanc would have been the first person to have died on the expedition.

[@The_Goat310]

I wouldn’t be surprised if the French government found the treasure

Really cool documentary. I live in southern Colorado and love history, but I had not heard this story before.

[@BlakeLightsbane]

Same, love history, born and raised Coloradian, never heard of this one. I’ve heard that we’ve had pretty significant gold strikes, but nothing considered to be “haunted” or “cursed”.

[@theamericanspirit8590]

None of it is real and it's not history. The only thing historical about it is the fact that someone wrote it at some point in time.

[@johngonzalez2310]

There's real treasure out there to be found. My family owns a horse and cattle ranch in southwest Texas near Van Horn. It's actually close to Victorio peak canyon. Chief Victorio was the last of the Apache's. He was killed defending his homeland. I grew up hearing stories about gold that was hidden near that area. I was told not to go looking for it up in the mountains because it's dangerous like rattle snakes, will javelina's and who knows what else. My uncle did find in 72' 33 silver dollars all from the 1870's to 1880's. Which I still own today. There's even buried treasure in New Mexico

[@Princess_Celestia_]

The problem with the standing on a mound thing is the mound has to not have sunk any, the person has to be the exact same height as the original person, they have to be stand on the exact spot at the exact same time of day at the exact same time of year. If these conditions aren't met exactly, you could be off mark by any where from a few inches to a a few hundred feet.

[@maytodec]

If the Ute were watching that closely they probably just took it after the first attack. It was there property being mined.

[@becsgoodrich1438]

I grew up in Pagosa Springs Colorado and haven't heard of this treasure, however, I searched for treasure mountain on Google and it's right there outside of Pagosa Springs. What's more, I've seen the big white owl when I was 13. We were driving to Albuquerque on highway 84 before you hit chama NM, the owl stood tall in the middle of the highway it had to be more than 6 ft tall, and as we got closer it just spread its wings and flew away. The wing span was wider than the two lane highway but the woman driving me said the owl was an Apache legend related to young Apache women disappearing years prior. Crazy stuff.

[@irahzi938]

It dont have a brain, it doesnt know ehat a fucking curse is. That shits been on earth forever! You think that gold gives a shit where it's location is, let alone know what the fuck a curse is!!!

[@pedenmk]

It's nice to dream lol. Thanks for sharing.

[@JohnShepherdMusic]

They just happened to carry all the smelting equipment, set up a smelting operation and then crushed and smelted tons and tons of ore at 2100 degrees F all by hand up in the forest and then dismantled and packed out all the equipment so as not to leave any trace. 😂

[@d.l.austin2379]

Yes. It didn't take a science lab. Have you ever seen a Spanish Arrastra? It's like a big wagon wheel on the ground, laid on its side. They would tie donkeys, horses, or mules to a pole in the center. They put the ore on the Arrastra, the animal walked in a circle, which worked 2 apparatuses that tumbled and crushed the ore. They could melt the gold and for a mold, dig a rectangle in the dirt and pour. The Spanish worked mines and smelted ore all the time! Why couldn't those 300 Frenchmen?

[@ryanosourus]

They ordered it on Amazon prime. Two year shipping.

[@xandersmith6619]

Too many holes in your story. ​@@d.l.austin23791. At some point they didn't have horses or donkeys which is why they resorted to cannibalism. If they were attacked as many times as they said they would be losing equipment and men like crazy. If they were capable of making such a smelting factory then they could have stayed longer , like all winter and they wouldn't have had to leave like they did.

[@JohnShepherdMusic]

@d.l.austin2379 Yes, I am familiar with them. In fact, they date back to the ancient romans and phoenicians. Still have some issues. Since they couldn't locally mine the cinnabar ore needed to be refined for the elemental mercury critical to the gold processing, I guess they imported it from Spain, Slovenia or the Spanish colonies in Peru, which were the only viable sources of mercury during that time. Now, assuming they were able to somehow source the mercury required to extract the gold from the ore, we are now left to ponder how they were able to find and an adequately hard and flat surface to create the arrastras. There are indeed many arrastras that have been discovered and/or excavated throughout the world. They leave an unmistakable and almost permanent imprint where they have existed. Somehow these frenchmen were able to hide any trace of all this processing and smelting activity. Anyway, it makes for a good treasure story.

[@scottyfox6376]

3-4 months of digging with pick & shovels & they find enough gold to somehow smelter into say a dozen plus bars of pure gold. You would have to be smelting alot of gold nuggets & shovel fulls of large gold veins from the granite. The story doesn't say they were sluicing the gold from streams so they must have had ounces & ounces of gold per ton of ore to crush & separate without the logistics of say hauling & using large quantities of cyanide on the finely crushed ore. It doesn't add up to me tbh.

[@PuraVetus]

What I don't understand is why you would hide a treasure? Why not use it to have a nice life. Also, if it's hidden and somebody finds it, why would that person tell someone about it? If I were to find a treasure, I would keep quiet and avoid having the whole family and people who all of a sudden think they are my friends showing up at my door.

[@Crystal-bp6gv]

If the Indians were watching them so closely, they more than likely took the gold.

[@SiteUnscene]

[@keithmiller6277]

Louis L'Amour wrote a novel based on this treasure...called Treasure Mountain. There is much treasure hidden in the Rocky Mountains. Maybe God doesn't want it found.

[@John-wg6xw]

The "Curse" is incredibly stupid.

[@d.l.austin2379]

The Native American's consider themselves to be the protectors and caretakers of this land, not owners. That's a Cabal term, I believe. But, they believe that everything has a spirit and therefore must be shown respect. This ideology is foreign to most English speaking races. When they behaved in that manner, running around, digging holes, etc., they were seen as being abusive to the sacred mother mountain range. And they were criss-crossing through different tribal lands, without asking permission or showing any respect to the land or to the tribes. And the gold is part of the mountain. The Indians didn't want the gold for themselves. But, they had not forgotten the Spaniard's arrival a few hundred years before this. They were enslaved by the Spaniards to be guides and to dig. They never forgot the sickness that came over the Spaniards when they found gold. They were crazed & relentless. Basically, the Spaniards and their craze for the gold metal and cruel treatment of the Southwest tribes, like the Ute, Apache, Hopi, Zuni, Comanche and others, ruining anyone's chances, who would come after, to search for gold and treasure.

[@eddiemyers7850]

No use in going looking for it. The Indians already got it years ago

These are stories, and as entertaining as they are, the reality is they are stories. The Native people would still be telling the story of hundereds of outsiders invading their lands and the warriors who drove them out. Unless you get confirmation from one of them about the French invaders i don't think that there's much credence to it. But treasure island still sells, we do love a good story.

[@NightmareonMainStreet]

Couple of huge issues with that idea, starting with all three types of animal: bat, owl, and snake, being federally and/or state protected. All 18 species of bats that reside in CO are protected, with the majority being federally protected. Meaning going into their roosts/colonies and disturbing/harassing/netting them is illegal and you'll face huge fines or prison time for doing so. There is only one species of venomous snake in CO that isn't federally protected, however it is still under limited state protections (only allowed to kill if it poses an immediate risk to life) and you aren't likely to find it in a cave. All other species of snakes are considered non-game animals and are off limits. Owls, are you insane? Like, seriously insane? Don't mess with a bird that can literally turn its head around exorcist style and bite your fingers off. Seriously though, you should look up the number of laws protecting them. Federal, state, county, local it's not worth the penalties you would face to knowingly harass an owl unless you actually found the gold. In which case you're going to basically hand it over to the feds and state of CO to pay for the fines you'd get. And I'm not meaning you specifically, just in general. We all know someone would have a camera out and as soon as the videos hit social media it'd only be a matter of time and it'd be out there.
