The Lost Cross Cache is an amazing treasure cache hidden by ‘Treasure Man’. Clues for The Lost Cross Cache is a PDF download. The PDF shares The Legend of the Cross on the Rock and its buried treasure from the 1600’s. It also shares much of H. Charles Beil’s research into whether this legend has any historical credence.
HCB’s research takes you into Keating, Pennsylvania. It is known that somewhere around here his cache valued at over 20,000 is buried. However, like many of his other caches, while looking for his cache, you might end up finding one from long ago! In this case, the treasure marked by The Cross on the Rock.
The legend says a cross was chiseled onto a rock to mark the spot of a treasure buried beneath. This treasure was gained by the fur trade and buried to protect it from Indians of the area at the time. The parties involved are believed to never have made it back to retrieve the buried treasure, and it is thought to remain there today. Is it? It’s possible.
And as mentioned, HCB has placed another treasure cache in the area too!
In the video below, you can watch to see what HCB places in his buried strongbox. It contains a gold cross embedded with 6 Emeralds valued around $3,000 each and 12 white pearls. He also adds two large rubies, some smaller rubies and gems, and coins.
This cache is waiting out there for someone to find it. Will it be found by you?

I’m so lost. I created a login and can’t find the pdf. Is it on there or do I have to search for clues to find it and then search for more clues? I found a post about “real treasure map” but I can’t access it.
