I lived in Nova Scotia growing up and enjoyed buried treasures regularly in the summer. Now that I live in Alberta, no one here seems to know what a buried treasure is. Was it only available in parts of Canada and not in others?

We were just talking about this ( Buried Treasure) the other night!! So I thought I'd google it. Would love to know if I could still find it somewhere?? Some of my favorite memories as a kid were tagged to Buried Treasure! PS Sherry...I'm in Nova Scotia, so perhaps it was.

Funny this just popped into my head tonite. it's 95degrees out. I used to buy these at the school cafeteria in Toronto back in the late 60's Do they still make them? They were the best ever!!

Buried Treatures were also in Ontario. I gtrew up with them and still have three of the characters on the sticks. I wish they till sold them. They were like creamsicles with orange sherbert and vanilla ice cream. Last time I saw them was in 1992 in a convenience store in Toronto.

I think of the buried treasure ice cream once-in-awhile because it was my favorite. We got them in Washington state and it seems that they were also some kind of red with the vanilla. I still have one of the plastic treasure sticks.

I used to live on a cul-du-sac in Southern California and of course the ice cream man came by every day at the same time. Buried Treasure was my favorite and it did come in a blue wrapper and looked like it was packaged upside down. It was not orange, however, it was a chocolate malt flavor and it was great! But the most interesting part was that the stick inside the ice cream was always a different animal and a different color. The rumor was that if you got a white horse stick, you could trade it in for a free buried treasure the next time. After many attempts, I finaly found the coveted white horse. My friends lined up behind me the next day to see if the legend was true...and sure enough I got a free buried treasure! My sister was very jealous. She never got the white horse. There doesn't seem to be any trace of the fabled ice cream. It's too bad I'd love to get a case for my sister.

Your stories are making me cry, longing for a buried treasure. I grew up and still live in Newfoundland. I too have fond memories associated with the buried treasure and would love to see it back in the ice cream freezer at my local convenience store!

I attended Reds games at Crosley Field in the 60's. That is the only place I ever got the orange sherbet kind of ice cream on the plastic stick. Once the Reds moved to Riverfront I do not recall ever seeing them again. All the ones I got at Crosley had baseball player figures. I saved the few I bought and still have them all...I left them on the stick. I just picked up some more at a collectibles show. One was in a plastic cup with no stick...Does anyone recollect getting them this way or did someone just jam the plstic figure in there?

Well, folks I am 51 and loved Buried Treasure with a passion when I was a lad in the 60s in Pouch Cove, NL. I have some great news! You can purchase Buried Treasure at Dominion or Loblaws supermarkets. It is made by Chapman's and is sold as Mandrin Orange Forzen Yogurt.I swear to God that it is identical to Buried Treasure. I was somewhat skeptical when I was informed about the Chapman's product by my childhood friend. Upon first tasting it took me back to a hot summer day in about 1965. It seems that more and more people are clueing in as the 'Buried Treasue" frozen yogurt is sold out whenever I go o buy it. I was lucky tonight and got the last tub. :)

You know I almost forgot about these until now. I loved them as a kid growing up in the 80s..so much of my summer childhood memories are flooding back. I wish I could have one again.

i you can get this ice cream somewhere someone has to tell me????

If you can get Orange Cream Supreme Ice cream it tastes just like it! It's my favorite. It's hard to find though.

I live in North Carolina, We had those when I was a child, I am 53 now. We would get so excited to see what the treasure was. We saved them and played with them like regular toys.Would love to find them again...

I live in ontario and was talking to people about it the other day, know one remembered them, but i sure did. We have a bucket full of the plastic figures which i found in my childhood things the other day.It sure brings back lots of memories. Thanks for the above advise on what ice cream now tastes like it , i'll give it a whirl.

Like Kstyle also noted- I remember the chocolate malt Buried Treasure ice cream treats, and loved them. I grew up in Burbank, CA and got these from the ice cream man as well, every day in the summertime. I never heard about the rumor if you got the white horse, tho..That's a new one to me! I wish they were still made.

I live in Northern Ireland but was born in Toronto, i keep on asking my friends here about buried treasure ice cream but they have no clue as to what i am talking about... the one i used to eat was more a vanilla ice cream but i had a little Pirate or ship etc at the end to the ice cream when u fiished it u found your treasure.. can anyone remember that one.. used to get it in the UK.. mid 70s i think..

a friend and Iwere talking about this several times at work. There was the buried treasure with the plastic stick and the one in the plastic cone that looked like a badminton bird with a gumball in the bottom. What I am trying to find out is Who made them? Anyone know? My fave on the stick was orange but there were other flavours to.I'm from N.B

That was a Cannon Ball... I was talking to some friends at a local bar and this topic came up about ice cream truck novelties.. We got all of them up until the buried treasure. Well 2 weeks later I went to Craigs List and someone gave me the answer I have been racking my brain about.. I knew all the other one's Nutty Buddy, Choco Malt, Choclate/Strawberry Ecliar, Fudgical, Root Bear Popsicle, Italian Ice, Super Bomb, Push ups and Cannon Ball (you can get one today but it's called Screw ball) I can't believe others were thinking the same thing life is strange. Where I grew up in Quincy MA if you got the monkey you got a free ice creame but never saw or got one myself.. I must be getting meloncholly @ 42

I am 37, and I'm from Tennessee. I loved buried treasures when I was little. Orange was my absolute favorite. I remember that if you weren't careful you could hurt your tongue trying to get the ice cream off the plastic stick. I would love to have one right now!

I am 52. I grew up in Encino, CA and Tarzana, CA and remember Louie the ice cream man driving his truck down our street. We all heard the music and ran out to greet Louie. Buried Treasures were my favorites along with Sidewalk Sundaes! I purchased three of the buried treasure figures on ebay a few years ago. All were baseball themed. I love the 60's!!!

The buried treasure popcicle was my favorite when I was a kid...My favorite was the chocolate with vanilla swirled in it..I wish they still made them

Hi Karen~ Too funny, I remeber Louie too. He not only drove around the neighborhood, he was at Portola after school everyday.

I remember buried treasure ice creasm I grew up in a small South Texas town.... San Diego. We got it at the school cafeteria. The flavor was a creamy pineapple sherbert. It was delicious.... out of this world. Just thinking about it takes me back. That was over forty years ago!!

I live in NY. I loved these when I was growing up! But they were raspberry sherbet and soooo yummy! I wish I could find them now...my granddaughter would love them!

I lived on the Oregon coast and ate buried treasures every chance I got in the 70's. I even saved my sticks in a bag for years convinced they would be valuable someday. Somewhere along the way I threw them out. Who knew the internet would someday exist and people would love to see those sticks again.... Oh well!

I too am from NY and remember the buried treasures being raspberry sherbert. Reading all the stories made me think I was remembering wrong but Tess from NY also remembers raspberry sherbert. That must of been a NY thing.. Miss the treats. My kids would love them. To bad they don't make them anymore.

Buried Treasure was my absolute favorite!! I live in Nova Scotia and we bought them in the school cafeteria in the late 70s and 80s! We used to collect the sticks and decorate our birthday cakes!!! Does anyone know what company made them???

I grew up in Northridge, CA and used to buy Buried Treasures from our neightborhood ice cream man. My favorite was defintely chocolate. Our ice cream man used to give us a free on if we got the train caboose treasure. I don't know who made them and haven't seen them in years!

We loved Buried Treasure from our ice cream man Sal growing up in Bethpage, LI, NY too! If the stick turned out to be a tiger on a motorcycle the next ice cream treat was free! Where can we find Buried Treasure now? Anybody know? Or even a tiger on a motorcycle stick from way back when? Cool to know you all loved this too!

I am 35 and grew up in Thunder Bay, On. The buried Treasure was one of my favorites!! I remember NEVER getting the same character twice. I think someone should start this company back up...GEEZ! I could so go for one right now. They didn't melt fast and the ice cream was so dense! I didn't even like creamsicles...but this orange ice cream was so delicious!!!

well I'm from newfoundland and I'm 27 i remember buried treasure, and the ice cream shaped \/ with the bubble gum at the bottom...It was really good...the buried treasure i did get a white horse, the one i remember the most was the pirate oh to see those ice creams again..i can taste it now!!! Ice cream will never be as good as it was as when we were kids.! there isn't that excitement for it any more

Omg lol I came across this site and realized wow Im not the only one out there searching for these. Im 20 and I still look in fridges when Im at a new store praying that I'll see one.

That ice cream with the gum at the bottom,they were called 'Screw Balls' lol My aunt was just talkin about them,she told me to write on and tell you what they were called incase you ever read these again.

Well yes I did love those Buried Treasures myself. I grew up in NFLD in the 60's and enjoyed them very well. I still have some of the sticks that we use to get inside the orange and vanilla ice cream. Yes if anyone can find out where to get them at please leave a message .

it is so funny that there are a bunch of newfoundlanders commenting on the buried treasures. haha. i am one too and was just wishing i had one, and stumbled on this page. i will thank gary for the orange frozen yogurt advice-that i will try. happy hunting treasure lovers!

I loved the buried treasure from the ice cream truck and stores in both Ont and NFld, but I am remembering another ice cream treat. I think called a jet. It had orange sherbet covered in a hard chocolate shell. People here think I'm making this one up. Can any one else remember this treat?

I use to buy them at school too (YMCI in North York) in the mid-70s. I gave the "treasures" to a friend who put them in the holes on the inside of her locker. The treasures were baseball players and she had an entire team plus substitutes!

My sister and I would get Raspberry/Vanilla Buried Treasures at Plantation Country Club in Louisville, KY in the 60's, but I hadn't found anyone outside of Louisville who'd ever heard of them, until this site. It's good to know I'm not crazy! I wish my mom hadn't thrown out all the sticks we'd saved!

I was talking about Buried Treasure last night with my dad and sister. I haven't seen them in forever. I loved them when I was a kid in the 80's/90's. They were so tasty. I wish I could find them now. Snack and a Half's are wonderful too. I can still find them from time to time.

I grew up in Neptune New Jersey and remember eating Circus Suprise ice cream or orange sherbet that was on a plastic animal stick. No one seems to remember in my family they think i lost it lol i still to this day find some of the old plastic sticks when i plant new trees. wish they would bring them back.

I saw some of the sticks on eBay today!

i thought it was black raspberry ice cream, doee anyone remember bannana van

I grew up in El Sereno,Ca and LOVED Buried Treasure Ice Cream...The ice cream man would play the music and all the kids from the block would run outside with whatever change we had and I would always get That Chocolate Treasure !!! Man they were the coolest !!! I never heard of the White Horse stick, but thats sounds fun !!! Wish they had em still around, Im 38 now and next time a see a ice cream man im gonna ask, we have a local driver in Huntington Beach that always comes down the street...ahhh the memories

I'm in desperate need of a buried treasure stick for a scavanger hunt....would anyone be willing to part with one? mikey61@ns.sympatico.ca Mikey Halifax , Nova Scotia

YES! I remember the Buried Treasures, and the Jets! I'm 47 and I grew up in Ontario. I especially loved the Jets, (all that orange and chocolate) and, yes, nobody seems to know what I'm talking about when I mention them either. They were both great!

Can anyone remember the Screwball, it was shaped like a badminton birdie cone, it contained vanilla icecream with a colored bubble gum on the very bottom of the see through cone shaped container. Also you could get them in sundae flavour! They were the best!

I too like all of you remember Buried Treasure Ice Cream. I grew up in Dundas Ontario, and we had the Yummy Man (Good Humour Man) and everyone seams to have heard of it, but no one remembers the statue on the stick that was inside the ice cream - that was the treasure. And unfortunatly - we can not even give our kids a taste of what we had.

I think we got Buried Treasures from the Pied Piper ice cream man in northern NJ in the 70s. They were of the orange sherbert variety, with the plastic sticks being animals. As others said, there was one in particular which would get you a free one. I want to say it was the seal balancing the ball on its nose, but I can't be sure.

My friend and I were talking about bburied treasures in our school lunches in the late 60s and early 70s. Our flavor of choice was blackrasberry.Wehave never found a flavor of them that comes close. The orange was not as popular in our area. Syracuse New york.It was our favorite ice cream as kids. do they still make them?

Had this dessert this weekend and it tastes exactly like Buried Treasure (but no plastic stick) You can find it at Kraft Foods and its called Frosty Orange Cream Layered Dessert - I'm not kidding, its identical. Boy, did it bring back memories.

What a flood of memories!! I looked up Buried Treasures because I found one washed up on the beach this morning. It's white, and the character is a crusader. I grew up in Connecticut in the '70s and '80s, and the theme I remember most is the circus collection. Everyone was always getting the clown ones. As for flavors, the orange sherbet sounds the most familiar to me.

I have spent the whole day thinking about this ice cream treat LOL .. my sister and myself just couldn't put our finger on it, until I found this site... BURIED TREASURE....YES that's it!!!I have lived in Ontario my whole life (32YRS), and my grandma always took us to buy a buried treasure whenever we were with her. Now my sister expecting her 1st baby in 12 day and can't believe she is craving one lol..what have I started!!

I'm 51 and from Western New York State and remember how wonderful the taste and fun! I remember raspberry best..but loved the fun sticks.

I was also thinking about Buried Treasures today at work. They were so good. I had ice cream the other day exactly like it. Chapmans makes it called Mandrin Orange Frozen Yogurt. I am also from Newfoundland, 24 years old and still remember them today. Wish I could find the original just to have it one more time....
