Historical Notes
Moses Follensby was an early Adirondack recluse who reportedly amassed a fortune in coin by the mid-1800s. Guides place the cache beside his cabin where a branch enters Follensby Pond, southwest of Tupper Lake in Franklin County. The pond and surrounding timberland remain among the most searched Adirondack treasure sites in compiled New York lists.
