well this is uh robbers roost canyon
wow this is really really rough to rain
yeah it's
really rugged and you could die out here
the first thing that came into my mind
when we stepped out the car at robbers
roost was
wow i cannot believe this sight is here
you're driving up and all of a sudden
you're in robbers roost with
all that history so just down here some
of the carvings i wanted to show you
carved into the stone walls that stand
above a natural spring
are the names of a few of the hearty
souls who previously visited the site
pearl baker she carved her name in 1920
and she wrote of course wild bunch at
robert's rouge so she
documented a lot of the history of the
outlaws that's pretty amazing though
bill leads gary deep into the canyon
where they come upon the only structure
still standing from the days of the wild
bunch
so here's the chimney oh man that is
awesome it's fantastic that it's still
standing 1890s we might find some buried
treasure around here because you don't
bury stuff
far from your cabin okay i'm telling you
mate we're going to find something good
right
using a mine lab ctx 3030 metal detector
capable of scanning to depths of as much
as three feet deep underground
gary methodically combs the barren
landscape
close to where butch cassidy's cabin
once stood
you have to grid aside out you can't
just meander around
has to be a nice box
pattern so if it makes a two-way
repeatable signal i'm digging it
oh that sounds good
it's reading two inches just there mate
so if you could dig that out
coach cassidy would have never believed
one of his descendants would be
digging looking for his treasure
[Music]
i know what that is my that is a little
shoe nail
oh yeah shoe on their horses yeah yep
that's your typical 1800s or shoe nail
yeah it's got a lot of corrosion so it's
definitely old
this little nail is a piece of history
yeah this
is what leads you to treasure well great
yeah let's keep going
those little iron nails tell us that
those guys were really there
because those horseshoe nails are from
the late 1800s
they're the exact things you want to be
finding at that side
i'm going to make my turn around here
just down there mate try to pinpoint it
so
cut down on the digging food
i got it it's an oldie as well but i
look at it
is that an oldie night you told me about
those long
cartridges it is it's 40 60. that is all
very cool how old do you think that is
mate is that the period
period of butch's time yeah so that
that could have been fired by butch
cassidy or one of the gang members
yeah very good
the 4060 was invented for the winchester
model 1876 and that's the same gun that
teddy roosevelt
used so yeah that was pretty cool to
find that for sure
that's almost as good as a double eagle
that is nice
little piece of history that is really
cool man
that's worth the trip for me right there
just to find that that is cool
i know people have visited the site and
it's had a lot of diggers through the
years
so if you can find an artifact what that
means is there's
a lot of loot to be recovered in that
area
you still stand a chance of finding
treasure there
it's not until avail those old bullets
and those horseshoe nails in miami i'm
convinced as treasurer
yeah and that's what we came here
looking for
and looking around it's it's a daunting
task
yeah you'd have to put some serious time
and spend weeks here
and do an extensive search of the area
there has got to be more
i know there's more for sure all right
it's been fun but
we've probably you know got a bite to
bullet and leave
it has been fun you're gonna be seeing
me again
yeah looking forward to it
you
