Chief Black Face Wilburton Gold Caches

Lost Treasure OK • Latimer County County
Description
Wilburton legend of Chief Black Face burying three separate loot caches near town — including a tale of $11,000,000 in gold bars — none of which has been reported recovered.
Historical Notes
Latimer County treasure guides list three distinct Black Face caches in the Wilburton hills of southeastern Oklahoma. The largest figure — eleven million dollars in gold bars — belongs to compiled outlaw-and-Indian Territory folklore rather than documented history. Wilburton sits in the Sans Bois Mountains between Robber's Cave and the Kiamichi country, making it a hub for stacked treasure legends.
Status / Verification legend — Legendary or approximate
