Treasure Maps:
Over the years I have acquired many things
connected to Jesse James, including treasure maps. Some of the maps were
handed down through my family and some were not.
Evidence will be presented in my upcoming book showing that my
great-grandfather belonged to the secret order known as The Knights of the
Golden Circle, "KGC." The KGC buried caches of treasure all over the
United States, some of which are alleged to be reminiscent of the treasure
cache seen in the movie National Treasure.
Probably the easiest and most comfortable
way to travel the West in search of lost treasures is at
www.rangertell.com At $999 USD the
Examiner T-G Ver 8.08B is the most economical of all the long range
locators available today and the one with the most features. You are
looking at many thousands for what they have to offer, without the
features. You can determine distance to target as well as depth, shape and
size. This is very handy in the middle of a desert or hard-digging area.
850 units sold since 2002 is saying something. It's also light and not
subject to trash. What's the catch? No packaging. But then who wants
cardboard and cellophane anyway? Without a doubt the best silent long
ranger you can get... handheld or MFD in one. Or you can buy the Deluxe
for $300 more. With this you can find almost anything. You can virtually
camp at the site (www.rangertell.com) to read about it before you buy.
There is definitely some treasure there worth digging.

This version of the Wolf Map is pictured
in, Shadow Of The Sentinel, by Bob Brewer and Warren Getler, Simon &
Schuster, 2003. I can only assume the version pictured below is a copy of
the original map. |

"The
so-called "Wolf Map" has been around since the 1930s. According to
Dwight Traina, (a treasure hunter from Lawton, Oklahoma) the map
came from a cast iron teakettle buried in the Wichita Mountains of
Southwest Oklahoma. Joe Hunter, a City Marshall of Rush Springs,
Oklahoma, dug up the tea kettle in the 1930s. This tea kettle was
rumored to have been buried by world class outlaw Jesse James." |

"Wells Blevins
inherited another of the treasure maps from a member of the (James
Gang) outlaw band (inset and redrawn). Although many of the landmarks
were discovered, the gold of the 'Madrugada Estrella Mapa Oro' has
never been found." (Source: Oklahoma Treasures and Treasure Tales by
Steve Wilson.) |
