I did a search on "stage coach robberies of gold, silver" and got this response: "...AI Overview - During the 19th-century Western mining booms, stagecoach robberies of gold and silver bullion...more..."

I've lived in Roswell, NM since 2001, and I haven't heard of any specific stagecoach robbery. The Goodnight-Loving Trail (which is just east of Roswell) was a well-known cattle trail, but I can't say there was any gold carried along it. West of Roswell, NM are about 100 listed gold and/or silver mines, but the majority are fairly new (circa 1980s to 1910s).
