Oregon legend has it that 16th century Spanish sailors, beaching their launch on Manzanita Beach, carried a treasure chest of gold doubloons up Neahkahnie Mountain for burial. This Tillamook Indian tale has been passed down through generations. A tale first told by a tribe's girl, as she and her elk witnessed the killing of a manacled African slave digging a hole for the bounty and ultimately his grave. The dead slave was left to spiritually guard the treasure and protect its location. Because of the strong Indian spiritual beliefs, the grave and treasure has not been disturbed for hundreds of years and is still located somewhere in the Neahkahine Mountains.
