Henry Sefton's Coins

Who has ever heard of the treasure tale of Henry Sefton's two lost barrels of coins on Gomez's Ranch in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of Colorado?

What have you heard about it?

I'm from the area, it has been a family told tale for many years. I was just curious on what others out there have heard.

Here's a link to a page about Sefton. Sounds like an interesting research project. What is the local tale? I see he had a toll road and gold mine as well as a store. I'll keep checking..........

Here's a photo of Sefton's tool gate. It's at the bottom left corner marked witha "7" if you can read it. If the area looks the same today it should be a good place to start a hunt.
