Oklahoma treasures waiting to be found

Oklahoma was known as the bad lands or outlaw territory as well as the Indian Territory. There were many outlaw gangs that would rob other places and then return to the Oklahoma Territory to hide out. It is reasonable to believe that many of the outlaws did hide their loot for safe keeping. If they were killed in the meantime, then not many would know about the hidden money. Those people may or may not have had a chance to return to the hidden area. Much of the money taken from banks and train robberies were never recovered.
