Some years ago I compiled a list of "Iron Door" lost mine and hidden treasure tales. I had 10 or 12, but the list fried when that computer went room temperature. Anyway, the gist is that the "iron door" clue is a code term used in cover stories that allegedly describe KGC sites. If Belle Starr is connected, the chances ought to improve, since she is allegedly associated with members of the group. "Starr" is also a red-flag name.
When he mentioned Iron Door, I thought of the one somewhere in South America(?) or wherever...I know I am wrong on this, but vaguely aware of these tales.
Be interesting to see how many are out there.
Okay, just checked the Iron Door forum where you discussed issues with these tales

I personally think one has to be very careful with stories coming out of treasure magazines in regard to veracity.
No real need for an iron door if you have rock, dirt and timber at hand.
