Ted Binion's buried silver (found 1999)

Documented folklore from the Club 49 map, told straight and sourced.

The story

Las Vegas casino heir Ted Binion buried roughly six tons of silver bullion and collectible coin in a concrete vault under the desert at Pahrump. After his 1998 death, a contractor was caught digging it up two months later, and the silver, tens of millions worth, came out of the ground in front of investigators. Lore says not all of it was vaulted in Pahrump; the recovery itself is court record.

The ground it haunts

TRUE FIND: Pahrump (Nye County, NV); vault site on private land, pin approximate. Source: Ted Binion estate case, 1998-1999, fully documented.
