The Treasure:
$50,000 in raw gold dust and nuggets
How to find it:
Get old topographic maps of the area and plot exactly where the old river ford was in 1854. Grid it off and search the entire area with a good, deep-seeking metal detector.
The Seneca Chamber of Commerce and the Seneca Library are very helpful in providing information about the area and the lost treasure. To reach the site, take I-75 north from Topeka through the Pottawatomie Indian Reservation to Fairview, KS. From there take State road 36 west to Seneca.
