Lost Treasure IA • Cedar County County
Description
Sunbury legend of the Ives brothers burying several large money caches near the Cedar County town — an eastern Iowa hoard tale from Buried Treasures You Can Find.
Historical Notes
The Rocker Box Cedar County list credits the Ives brothers with multiple large caches near Sunbury. Sunbury sits on the Cedar River in eastern Iowa, far from the James gang country but rich in nineteenth-century farm-country robbery lore. No recovery details survive in published guides; the story remains active among Iowa cache hunters.
