Centralia Robbery Gold and Silver Cache

Lost Treasure IL • Marion County County
Description

Historical Notes
Marion County guides describe a substantial robbery hoard concealed near Centralia in the coal-country hills. The same cache appears in Washington and Clinton County compilations, reflecting shifting local attribution. Centralia's rail junction made it a natural setting for nineteenth-century bandit and payroll legends.
