West Texas black gold mine, or the black Quartz mine, this was a Spanish mine near the Rio Grand river, just on this side of the river, samples of this gold are in Mexico museum today, it was not real quartz but a black rock and was referred as the black quartz mine, ref are given that the Spanish had slaves mining this for years then killed everone knowing the location and was lost, I have found samples near the three enterences to this mine south of Marfa tx I was at a spring and was getting some cool water when I steped into the spring and almost lost my life, the place I steped was quick sand, I was going down fast tried to yell to my partner who was too far to hear my yealing, I grabbed a bush a type of catius plant that had fish hook barbs on its leaves the barbes saved my life but cut me up good I say good because I lived , I found out that this was not a spring but a old entrance to this mineshaft that was draining. I need help on more research on this mine, any info will beshared on this subject. Txtreasurehunter
