Hello Esteban and everyone , Here is a good question , In 1934 50,000 British Pounds is worth how many British Pounds today in "2008" ???? $200,000 or $2,000,000 ??? Last night I was searching to see gold values and international currency rates of then "1934" and now , the only thing I find so far was that in 1934 gold was just raised to $35.00 an ounce from $20 an ounce . I found no exact value of the pound for 1934 . Anyway , I will copy the photos that Esteban posted , but there are many Islands in the south seas and I have a strong feeling the treasure still exists .......Here is something else very interesting...... From the Public library I read a book called "Gold prospecting in the Pacific Northwest" and in 1810 , two immigrants from Norway or Denmark settled northwest of Portland , Oregon , very close to Astoria , Oregon by the mouth of the Columbia River . This big piece of property or land the two owned included "Columbia River" frontage , meaning they were right next to the Columbia river . Anyway , quoted in the book , from relatives of the two brothers : that sometime after 1810 , $200,000 in Gold Bars were buried in , on or next to the river and to this day have "NOT BEEN RECOVERED" !!!!!!!!!!........ And over the years especially in recent times , many people have looked like crazy , but no luck !! I am sure the gold is still there and worth "Millions Today" !! I believe it is buried very deep 20-30 feet minimum , possibly beneath a huge oak tree . When I have time , I will post more information from this book . My Metal Detecting /Prospecting area of interest is northern Nevada only , not Oregon !!! So any Geotech Members living in the pacific northwest , I would suggest getting this book and reading it !!!!!!!!!! Take Care Everyone......Regards.......Eugene52/Formerly amtech2005/Also Stalni-Clan of Ivconics Forum
