Buried Treasure In MichiganBuried treasure in Michigan do exist. I have listed a few areas that have been rumored to hold treasures. However, I cannot promise that this information is completely accurate. As treasure tales go, because they have been passed down through many years, certain elements of the lost treasure story may have been altered, either intentionally or otherwise. This information should be researched through other means as well. Never rely on one piece of information about a treasure story you are researching. Use multiple research tools. A good place to start is on the Internet. Also check with the historical societies of the areas you will be searching in. For more information on where and how to research for lost treasures,

If you are venturing on to State or Federal lands you should know the laws of that State.
