No X, just feel free to dig everywhere.

See if that ex-wrestler Savage is available. I think he has a bulldozer or back hoe.

I don't suppose anyone wants to tell me where exactly I can find a few gold bars for free? Anyone have a treasure map?

OK deodra, This is the closest I could find that sounded findable. It's a story about a buried cache on an old ranch which use to be a fort or Spanish mission. It is the cache of a rancher who had just sold the land and his herd. I will skip the story itself. The research is from J Frank Dobie a famous researcher. The land is called Old Casa Blanca. The cache is buried within an old rock pen at the old mission. Mary A. Sutherland described the location of the mission in her 1916 book titled The Story of Corpus Cristy. the location is about 3.7 mi. north-east of the RR switch of the same name on Highway 359 at county road 358. Casa Blanca sat along the Nueces River likely near La Fruta That's all I have. Frank...

What a man! You are the pimp of all pimps (of gold, of course) This gives me something to toy with for research. 50/50 split

Well re thinking my strategy. I'd get loan to open up a business let's say a pawnshop I'd melt the gold into rings and slowly fees them into the shop. I'd send a quarter of my gold away for money keep some rings there that'd be marked up. Then save the rest of the gold as a cushion. Pawnshop seems like a good front for a operation like this. It'd also get taxed so no tax evasion. It seems 95% legal in my mind

Might work, but there is a lot of record keeping at a pawn shop and the police audit the jewelry sales records. They want to know where it came from and where it went. I prefer the no paper trail method. Cash is hard to follow.

Preach it. I'd steer clear of a pawn business. Just melt down and trade for things...or plan a trip to dredge somewhere and find your find all over again!

Hey if I can still buy a supra and tune it add mods to it till its scary fast so be it. Pawn shop still seems like a good front. Just have to figure out how to make it look legit in the books. That's where I'd get a good lawyer to help me money talks. Would I change the way I live. Maybe itd for sure make people come out of the wood work saying their my friend lol. Then the gold diggers ahh keep them away.

*psst...I'm sure he'll be sitting in a lounge chair with a margarita watching me wander around...all the while the gold is back as his place in his freezer

I know where there was a casino that was destroyed by a hurricane in the 50s. I can't wait to get there and detect the area that's now uninhabited.

Well, get out there! That would be a fun place to detect!

It's a 3 hour drive and then I have to get a kayak or rowboat to get to it. It's going to take some planning.

Actually I have researched locations all over the USA and a little into Mexico. I have files filled with notes. Most are just listings or stories that I have not delved down into myself. As far as Texas, I have only looked in some areas around El Paso ,TX. I am 76 now and realize now that I will get to look for very few of these caches so I kind of farm some out lol Frank...

That would present a slight problem and require some planning. Good reason, man. Good reason.

There is a wrinkle in this scenario.... Here in Texas, they have been drilling into the local shale for natural gas and companies leasing or purchasing mineral rights from homeowners. It was BIG business here for about five years straight.

If anything like this was found on these properties, technically, it would own to the company who holds a lease on the mineral rights.

A homeowner would know beforehand if they sold their own mineral rights though, no? My statement is based on a typical sale where the rights convey.

There is another post that outlines more than I brought up. In my case, everyone in the neighborhood leased their mineral rights to a management company for the drilling proceeds. I reread the one page agreement fine print and it does outline gases, minerals and/or metals. So, currency would not be theirs but they might have a legitimate claim over bars. For sure they would over a vein or just a cache of nuggets.

One interesting caveat, in Texas, one can sell their property and retain the mineral rights forever if they so choose. It just has to be written into the sales agreement that mineral rights are not included.

You better pull out that deed and track down the rightful owner of that metal penny before the swat team arrives.
