About 1970 in northern San Saba county I was shown what I believe to be Spanish markings in rocks starting at the top of a wash and going down the side for a good ways. I can get access and would like to know what books I need to read and where to find meanings of the symbols? Any help would be appreciated. It could be KBG. But the marks were older I believe.

I live in Travis County, TX (Austin), out by Lake Travis off RR 620. Any stories of stuff out here or good places to search? All I've found is a bunch of civil war bullets in a creek.

How do you go about finding the locations of old stage coach depots?

Sometime I think when I am doing an ole house site from the late 1800 hundreds they probable didn"t have 2 nickles to rub together

Those are the kinds of places that offer some of the best possibilities of finding a buried cache of coins, especially the places where there were no banks within a day's ride. The old homesteads and farmhouses often had no reason to carry around loose change or bills. For safekeeping, they often kept their savings in posthole banks or other caches on their property. Back then, older family members often died right in their own homes and many died without telling anyone where their savings was at. I recommend the old book Cache Hunting by H. Glenn Carson.

Hello a56digger. I am new to this site and find this thread interesting. I recently purchased some land north of Cisco and would certainly enjoy local history from the professor at the Jr. College and from the man in Comanche. We have friends in Comanche and go there often as well. I don't know how messaging works on this site yet, but can you please share the names with me? Thank you.

J. Frank Dobie, a Texas writer, has written about such a tale as you describe. Also W.C. Jameson wrote “Buried Treasures of Texas”.
