Doc Noss - Victoria Peak Treasure

 I think the Govmt. had the Air Force go in and execavate near the peak and remove the Gold. I read the account of what happened and I believe it was there. He and his friend really messed up in trying to blow a bigger and easier entrance. They wound up sealing the entrance and WSMR encompassed the Peak and made it impossible to get to.  I kind of doubt if it's still there, but who knows unless they could go onto WSMR and check it out??

I'll say this much, I'm convinced that if there ever was a massive treasure at Victorio Peak, it isn't there now.   Of course, the odds of us finding out for sure are somewhere between slim and none since it is very deep within a highly restricted government facility which is used for live fire testing/training (so anyone who thinks they could probably slip in and slip out without being found out should think again).    The stories of the treasure are well enough known and have been for long enough, that I'm pretty sure the government would have slipped out anything that might have been there before they permitted any of the few exploration/recovery ventures that have been mounted since Noss died to have access to the peak.  (Further all of those official exploration attempts have occurred under the very watchful eye of the government.)

	What is interesting is if Noss did move some of the gold with which he promised the driller who ended up shooting him, where is it? hmmmm

Also were is the gold others are said to have moved.
Look's like we all agree that what ever was there is now gone and as BA points out we will never know where it went.

Hello All

This story has always been interesting for me after seeing a TV program Unsolved Mysteries many years ago.

There has been many claims in regards to this story.

I wonder if there is any early documentation to support the story before the conspiracy theorist took over?

It might be a good topic to kick off.

Hardluck.

I looked and didn't find much info on this in the papers before the court battles.

idle thoughts...

Pro
So if you could only carry out 1 thing at a time (taking the story to heart where it talked of the passage being hard to navigate) I guess I might grab a big bar over coins. Also it was illegal to own gold at the time so perhaps he might have left it there until he found a place to store it.
Con
If it was hard to navigate who would take the time to store that much gold there? If you had that kind of manpower wouldnt you just dig a vault?

How far would you carry a pile of gold if you were planning to rebury it?
