Buried Treasure

This story is not of the supernatural type, but it is a local legend. I was told this by a couple friends years ago.

Tigerton, Wisconsin
Outside this small town on an overgrown abandoned farm, Al Capone supposedly has treasure buried. If you are lucky enough to find the remains of this homestead, be wary of where you tread. Covered pits and other unknown booby traps are abundant.

According to the friend I had talked to about this, he had gone treasure hunting and thought he found the farm. He and his friend(s) had stumbled across several hidden pits that didn't appear to be normal for a farm. The only thing left to signify there had been one was an old silo.

It is possible that Al Capone has been there, or at least through Tigerton. In Maribel, there was a hotel that eventually started to cater to gangsters and bootleggers. If he did do business her or stayed there, that would put Tigerton very close to the path up to his retreat in Couderay. Whether it is true or not, it is still an interesting story.

In an attempt to map out where he has been in Wisconsin, I have come to the realization that I need to visit the library and and get copies of maps. The old maps I find online are not meant to be viewed properly without a cost (my eyes are mad at me now). Who knows what else I'll be able to turn up in my hometowns tiny library? Maybe a cursed book? I would find something like that, and not to my benefit in the least.
