Mud Lake Bank Robbery Loot

Lost Treasure MN • Sibley County County
Description
Sibley County legend of $40,000 in bank-robbery loot cached at or near Mud Lake — never reported recovered in Minnesota prairie treasure guides.
Historical Notes
Sibley County lists place forty thousand dollars from a bank robbery near Mud Lake in the Minnesota River valley. The story belongs to the same Henderson-area cluster as brewery-vault and wealthy-farmer burial legends. Compiled guidebooks credit the Mud Lake cache to bandits who never returned after hiding the haul.
Status / Verification legend — Legendary or approximate
