Here is another story of loosing gold in Minnesota in the early 1920’s at blue lake.

Two men built a fish house large enough to include bunk beds and set up light housekeeping.  They planned to spend the winter fishing commercially.  After catching a load of fish, they would take it to the twin cities and sell it.  One man was resting on his bunk.  A signal told him he had a fish on his line.  He rolled over to grab his line and $500 worth of gold coins came tumbling out of his bib overalls.  Most of the coins fell through the ice and into the lake.  Allegedly they have never been found. 


Anyone for a swim?

Is it a Jacket on or Jacket off day?

How deep is this lake ?  If you can locate it, i'll help you recover.  I have a 3 inch dredge with a t-80 & 35 ft of hose.

I know what lake it is, and have a map.
Aaannd to top that off ....there is another gold story on the same lake
I have not mentioned due to it being in a shallower area I may be able to chase myself.
The story dang near tells where the sack was dropped.

I checked the map i have and the deepest hole is 30ft.


There is also a sunken old paddle boat. That there are a few pictures of.
