Nice pic..Hope you find the rest. Anyone close to San Antonio? Ever heard of King Fisher's gold near La Pryor?

 

[Comanchero]

Certainly heard of King Fisher's stash Gut Shot. Just too vague and too much private property in that area near La Pryor to get serious about. Comanchero

Went out with a ol'buddy in the eary 90's looking for it. I was more interested in arrowheads at the time.Anyhow, he had some really weird gold detecting machine where you shoved some probes in the ground maybe turned something on, then walked around with these dowsing like rods until they crossed. He said they would cross if there was a field of gold within 5 miles rather than just being over the gold. Wish I knew what that device was called now. Anyhow he had a deer lease outside of La Pryor somewhere on some creek I'll look at the map again, he claimed the device did indeed cross (and I did see it cross). Wether or not it was really picking something up i'll never know. We followed the "signal" for some way until we hit somebody elses property.Then we stopped. Now many years later, I cannot help but wonder.Can you tell me the King Fisher Story as I really do not know it. Any details would be nice.

Gut, I'd have to dig out all my old records (boxes and boxes of the old stories, maps and all ) that are all in storage right now. It's been years and I don't have perfect recall on everything, but what comes to me right off hand is that King Fisher was a big Cattleman in Texas and sold lots of Beef, getting real rich. Seems like either he or his men or both were held up for a large amount of gold coin they had recieved for a bunch of cattle and some were killed or something like that. That's what I recall anyhow and the story may be different, 'cause I got so many running around in my head. Also, I think that King Fisher was an overbearing, belligerant man who had quite a few enemies. I'd better quit before I get too deep in over my head and have to eat all my words on this one!

Grin! I know what you mean on that! I did a little research on the internet on him but did not find anything on Tales of Gold so to speak.Something is bound to turn up sooner or later. Thanks for the reply.

Gut Shot, I believe that G. Frank Dobie wrote about King Fisher in at least one of his books. Check out his writings and also check your local library for his books. Great writer! Comanchero

GS, Sorry, I think it is J. Frank Dobie. Comanchero
