Lots of stories still persist today that there's plenty of treasure buried along the Niagara border especially during the War of 1812. Here's a few of these stories.
In 1888 a Welland, Ontario man was searching the bottom of the Chippawa Creek for $250,000 supposedly dropped there by a British paymaster during the War of 1812. He never found it.
It has also been reported that their is a "pot of gold" buried somewhere under the ramparts of Old Fort Erie. All searches over the years have only turned up relics and human skeletons.
Another reported war treasure of $100,000 gold coins had been buried in the Niagara Glen along the lower Niagara River by General Sir Isaac Brocks paymaster. I remember many year ago taking a metal detector into the glen in search of the treasure. I came back empty handed and plenty of fish hooks.
Maybe some day someone will find a pot of gold at Niagara.
Regardless, just seeing Niagara Falls is a treasure you'll remember for ever.
Pretty corny right, but makes a nice ending to the blog.
