5 Hidden Treasures That Are Still Waiting to Be Found

4. The Cahuenga Pass Treasure – $10 Million in Gold Somewhere in L.A.

Buried somewhere in the Cahuenga Pass—right in the middle of Los Angeles—is a stash of gold bars and coins worth an estimated $10 million. According to legend, a Spanish general named Tiburcio Vasquez buried the treasure in the 1870s to keep it from falling into the hands of authorities chasing him for banditry [citation:unknown]. Vasquez was eventually captured and hanged, and he took the location to his grave. Over the years, treasure hunters have dug up parts of the pass with everything from shovels to bulldozers, but the gold has never been found. Some believe it’s still sitting there, just feet below one of the busiest urban areas in America.
