latitude 41.621 and longitude -78.224. The elevation is 1,296 feet. Gardeau appears on the Emporium U.S. Geological Survey Map. McKean County is in the Eastern Time Zone (UTC -5 hours)

Gardeau Pennsylvania

Not only a ghost town....but a ghost town with a treasure legend attached to it! How is this for a hunting opportunity?

The history of Gardeau is one of intrigue, wealth and legend. If you are to believe the arm chair historians $5,000,000 million dollars in silver bullion lies buried just beneath the surface; waiting to be discovered; the mysterious tomb of Col. Noah Parker guarding the secrets of the McKean County ghost hamlet.

Interesting story, and here are some comments , as (#1) Divers went down and up retrieving silver bars to the deck of the recovery ship, not raising up a sunken ship. (#2) The hoard of bars was buried BECAUSE the war of 1812 had started, by the time they came North to Emporium Pa. (#3) There were 6 covered wagons total being pulled by oxen, instead of 54 wagons. I have copy of signed document from library, of party in 1812 who saw the 6 wagons go slowly past his cabin . (#4) Several Silver bars were found on side of Mtn. west of Gardeau in 2006 by treasure hunter, who sold it and moved to Ca.- - info from his uncle. (#5) In about 2008, a few heavy silver bars and 1860's pistol was found on side of same slope of mountain. (6) About 2015, hikers found chain embedded in old large tree near mountain. After sawing out, it was taken to city for examination. It was found to be "SHIP CHAIN " from the 1800's! (7) The muddy ground area at the beginning of Parker Run near creek, is were the deer will show you the Salt Lick is, as I have found, and was on the original old Captain's map . Balance of treasure still there, of what's left that Parker did not remove in 1860's , to pay for his new house and the Gardeau Inn for visitors and the strong mineral waters he provided for customers. The large building in the old picture was the Inn. Remnants of the original well is still there embedded in creek 1+1/4miles up Parker run dirt road on right side. It used to be called silvermine run. The Parker mausoleum is right beside the MAIN road as placed by relatives, so as others would know that the treasure was actually west of there. So, the treasure story is actually true! Info and treasure searching data in report found on Ebay - Lost Treasure Of Pa....

Now if you ever needed a way bill - ‘Ship chain stuck inside of a huge tree’, would be a good start

I sold my final report to a guy in Pa. about the narrowed down location of the balance of silver bars. I'm too old now with arthritis and prostate cancer to go back again hiking. I just hope it was not just some teenager with extra money to spend, and just wanting something different to read. (Within about 700 yards on hill side). Metal gate entrance and keep out signs there now with 1 1/4 mile dirt road to walk to get to the hill. Yes, lots of it most likely still there. Mr. Parker never told relatives exact location before he died. I rode motorcycle down that road and also walked it many times. There are wild animals there such as snakes, and dangerous coyote packs, DO NOT GO ALONE. You may never be seen again.

What am I missing, it does not look like a ghost town.
Out here a ghost town either has no buildings remaining, or the buildings are barley standing. This town looks like people still live there.
