Will it never end? Sadly more folks will see this stuff and think that they can find it, and quickly find out that the area is fairly difficult to traverse in many places; should keep the local SAR community busy.

The History Channel: Curse of the frozen gold
Slumach must be laughing in his grave, local Pitt River Lodge operator involved too.
And another who crashes helicopters and likes tall tales, with his friends who likes to spin stories of Nazi gold in the B-25 crash site
YES there is gold in the area, not much, but through very hard work you may make enough to buy yourself a meal. And the funny thing is it is not far from where Slumach actually lived, NOT far away up the lake.
All we need now is a legend of a giant lake monster, rub his belly and he grants you three wishes. :)
And please remember folks that the lake and river have claimed many lives through the years, and many times the bodies were never found; must be those damn giant lake monsters. AKA Sturgeon

I personally do not believe in any of it, the Mitchell bomber site and the wreckage, should be left alone as a memorial to the crew who died there.
