      Rose Festival Treasure Found At East Delta Park In North Portland | KXL

      Treasure Hunting, Uncategorized


      Congratulations to Neal Dietz! Neal found the hidden Rose Festival Medallion this morning around 10:30am, inside some yellow tubing on a baseball field fence at East Delta Park. He tells KXL’s Jacob Dean, a fellow treasure hunter, “It’s like that feeling you get when you get a steelhead or salmon into the boat and your hands are shaking. Did I really find this again?” Neal is one of only a couple hunters who’ve found the treasure twice. He also found it three years ago near Ft. Vancouver. His advice for other hunters looking for the treasure: get a hunting partner or a group together to bounce ideas off of each other.

        Treasure Hunting


        MARQUETTE COUNTY — Hunting for buried treasure might sound like something out of a storybook, but an upcoming event will have people outside digging for gold all over Marquette County. On August 8, somewhere beneath the ground of Marquette County, will be real life buried treasure. Seven chests will be buried throughout the area for the Teal Lake Jewelry Treasure Hunt. Each chest will contain diamonds or gold, worth anywhere from $3,000 – $6,000. After hearing about similar events downstate, organizer Ashley Speaker thought the treasure hunt would be a great opportunity for this community.

              Lost & Found, Metal Detecting Insight, Treasure Hunting

              Elizabeth Flammer thought 2020 was looking up. Her grandmother had recently given her a necklace that had been in the family for decades, and they had just moved across town to a quieter neighborhood.

              Flammer and her daughter decided to take advantage of their proximity to the Logan River Trail for an afternoon bike ride. And then, while adjusting her backpack, her necklace broke and the jeweled pendant was flung away.
