Missouri Ravine Wagon Gold Coin Chest — Sioux County

Lost Treasure ND • Sioux County County
Description
Sioux County variant of the Missouri River wagon-ravine legend — a chest of gold coins hidden in abandoned wagon remains along the Standing Rock reservation borderlands.
Historical Notes
The Rocker Box Sioux County list repeats the chest-of-gold-coins-in-wagon-ravine tale near the Missouri River, noting it may also lie in Emmons County. Sioux County spans the south bank Missouri breaks where overland wagons paralleled steamboat traffic before the county became one of the nation's least populated jurisdictions. Coordinates mark upper Missouri ravine country in Sioux County, upstream from the Emmons County pin — legend only.
Status / Verification legend — Legendary or approximate
