Jim bowie's treasure

[Scar]

Anyone wanting to read a good book on Jim Bowie, Davy Crockett and William B. Travis should read "Three Roads to the Alamo" by William C. Davis. The writer did his homework for this book. According to the book Jim and Rezin Bowie came close to death near San Saba when ambushed by a group of over 100 Tawakoni, Waco and Caddo Indians. The Bowie expedition had been warned of the attack by some Comanche Indians.

Juat wondering are there ANY UPDATES on this posting??

I clams to be the most experenced treasurehunter in the state of Texas

Seem to me the self proclaimed (most experenced treasurehunter ) in Texas would have his own funds for investment

10g's certainly shouldn't be a problem at least....

just curious...what does sunnyvale have to do with it? its only about 5 hours drive from brady and no where near san saba...unless there is another one that i dont know of...

also, if you have read much on bowie, many historians believe the mine was a sham to get people to relocate to Texas. bowie was a poor man, who married and swindled his way into money. obtaining titles, selling to more than one buyer, etc.
part of his agreement with the spanish was to get people to occupy Tx at the time, why not create a story of a mine?
it is said that he constantly searched for and never found it. had a handful of skirmishes with indians, losing some men
i have no doubt that he saw a lot of money in his misleading lifetime, but i have high doubts that there is anything of value to be found today

if you have other research to show otherwise, and did the research and believe its there with sufficient proof, 10k is pretty easy to come by
to me its just an interesting legend

Best if somebody goes and reads C.F. Eckhardt's book, THE LOST SAN SABA MINES. He talks about Bowie's actual time in the hill country of Texas. I won't argue with anyone and God Bless you if you wander around searching for riches. You will not be the first or the last. Again, just read the book and quit believing in fairy tales. foolsgoldtx is sort of close, but not really, but the reason can be debated. Again, read the book...

Explain to them what is in that cave so they can give you a small part of their money to you,and that treasure will be in a museum

Notyourtacosalad, are you talking to me? This is mostly an old thread from 2011, makes no sense, has nothing to do with truth, history or accuracy and is just plain stupid. I hate to see folks spend money and time on something that doesn't exist. As for the person asking for money, well, better watch out... There is no Bowie cave, mine buried loot or anything else. There was no banking mission in Menard and it was always silver and not gold. This reminds me of those yahoos that live in New York and write Alamo books. Watch a movie, read a dime novel and suddenly you know where the treasure is. Only there is no treasure.
