Historical Notes
Ohio treasure folklore credits Revolutionary War officers or paymasters with concealing gold along the Sandusky River north bank in Carroll County. Compiled guides value the hoard at roughly twenty-five thousand dollars in period coin. The Sandusky River valley served as a major travel corridor, making secret war-era deposits a recurring theme in eastern Ohio lore.
