History of the Mt. Pharaoh Treasure
The lost cave of the Pharaoh Mountain Treasure is located somewhere in Ticonderoga NY, not in Egypt as some might think. Not much is known how the mountain got its name or the neighboring Pharaoh Lake but if the amount of gold hidden in one of the caves holds any truth, it would sure be a Pharaoh's fortune!

STORY
The lost cave of Pharaoh Mountain in New York State, reported in the early 1800's by two boys who visited a cave with an Indian playmate. Located near Ticonderoga in the Adirondack Mountains, the cave was reputedly covered with Indian paintings. The children took shelter in the cave during a storm and while there one boy picked up a piece of metal that later proved to be a gold coin with an etching of a mastadon. Many people have tried to locate the cave, but it has eluded the searchers. The only tangible evidence of the story is the enigmatic gold coin.
