Yellow Snake's Treasure |
 |
Have you ever wanted to look for lost treasure? This expedition into the Matazal wilderness delivers us into the realms of finding such a treasure. Hidden near a dead mule's burial mound... within 2 steel containers. During the summer of 1982, Yellow Snake and two old miners buried $320,000 cash and 80 pounds of gold. The miners died shortly after a tragic accident robbed Yellow Snake of his memory. Now, it's up to us to rediscover the location and share the wealth. Yellow Snake is still alive and *might* join us (no guarantees).
During this expedition you become a participant in our continuing quest to explore ancient locations and seek out evidence of vanished civilizations. Entering these areas you see things few have ever seen, experiencing the thrill of potential new discoveries. Perhaps YOU will be the one to uncover a new clue. Join us as we dig deep into the hidden past, this time looking for treasure!
