Default Legendary Treasures Of Texas

THE OLD SPANISH TRAIL TREASURE,
THE DEL RIO, DEVIL'S RIVER AREA HOLDS AN UNFOUND TREASURE STILL TO THIS DAY. SOME BELIEVE THE TREASURE IS ACTUALLY SEVERAL UNRELATED TREASURES ALL LOCATED IN THIS SMALL PORTION OF NORTH, WEST TEXAS. THERE ARE STORIES OF AN OLD WELL WHICH HAS A GRAVE CLOSE BY. THIS WELL IF FOUND COULD PROVE VERY PROFITABLE IF THE REST OF THE STORY IS CORRECT. INSIDE THE WELL IS SUPPOSED TO BE A HOARD OF SPANISH GOLD COINS!
ANOTHER STORY TELLS OF SOME FARMERS WHO WERE TRAVELLING ALONG THE OLD SPANISH TRAIL CROSSING ON MUD CREEK. NEAR AN OLD ADOBE'S RUINS THEY FOUND 4 BARS OF SILVER!
YET ANOTHER LEGEND IS THAT THE AZTECS HID TREASURE IN A LARGE MOUND ON THE EDGE OF DEL RIO ITSELF!
ISN'T IT TIME TO GET OFF THE COUCH AND GO HUNT FOR TREASURE'S SUCH AS THESE? BARS OF SILVER AND AZTEC GOLD AWAIT THOSE WHO ARE HARDY ENOUGH TO TRY. I WOULD ASK MY FELLOW TQ'ers, DO YOU HAVE TREASURE IN YOUR BLOOD?

OK, John - I'm VERY interested in this one! I've been working on a project in Del Rio, Texas for the past several months and will be spending quite a bit of time there in the next 2-3 months...care to meet up and have a look for some of this treasure?

Shawn

Hey Shawn, thank you very much for the call and yes I am very interested as I said on the landline. I am really looking forward to it and hope that it works out to where we can get together several times and look for all that treasure in the area. I will be getting a new proto type straight shaft for the Garrett Infinium shortly and want to try out the setup. Ok Shawn I am just tickled to the ribs that you invited me and just hope I can make it. Ok you take care and God's Blessings to ya Shawn!
