Panola-Rusk-Harrison Junction Silver Bars in Lake

Lost Treasure TX • Rusk County County
Description
East Texas legend of $2 million in silver bars thrown into a lake near the junction of Panola, Harrison, and Rusk counties northwest of Nacogdoches.
Historical Notes
The Rocker Box Rusk and Panola County lists describe $2 million in silver bars thrown into a lake near the three-county junction. This is a separate tale from the Jean Lafitte Hendricks Lake wagons legend in Rusk County. Related entry: "Hendricks Lake Treasure" (statewide Lafitte legend near Tatum). The three-county junction story appears in Buried Treasures You Can Find and regional compilations. Coordinates approximate the Panola–Rusk–Harrison county corner northwest of Nacogdoches near the Tatum area.
Status / Verification legend — Legendary or approximate
