Weston Bank Robbery Loot Five Miles West

Lost Treasure IA • Pottawattamie County County
Description
Weston prairie legend of several thousand dollars in bank robbery loot buried about five miles west of town — a companion story to the Jesse James $35,000 cache.
Historical Notes
Iowa treasure guides place a separate bank-robbery hoard west of Weston in the Loess Hills country. The site is distinct from the named Jesse James $35,000 burial in the same county lists. Coordinates mark the open country west of Weston toward the Missouri River bluffs.
Status / Verification legend — Legendary or approximate
