Buried Treasure In Idaho 
Seven Places To Search

Buried treasure in Idaho is hidden in many areas. I have listed a few stories about them below.

Over the years, as stories of lost treasures are told from person to person, or wrote about and re-written, the stories change. And it’s because of the inaccuracies of the story, that makes most treasures unable to be located. But these treasures can be found.

Many people have located hidden caches of every type. You can to. But you need to research stories of lost treasures beyond just a few paragraphs given in a story. Research is the secret to finding a treasure.

You can use the Internet to get started, however, what you will find there are stories that have not much more information than what I have given to you here. You need to go deeper with your research.

Visit the historical societies of the area you want to search in. Many times they have old newspaper articles that you can search that may help you gather more information about a treasure. Look for old books, or maps that could give you more information. Visit the National Archive’s. You can visit them online as well, and in some cases you may be able to download, or have sent to you in the mail, information pertaining to your search.

You need to do the legwork before you can venture into the field to actually begin looking for buried treasure in Idaho.
