There are several deposits in New Mexico not yet found of many stories. 1. Victorio Peak. 100 tons of buried gold bullion supposed to be sp. mined from the lost Padre Gold mine. Near White Sands proving ground. Apocraphyl or not there are real gold bricks of old origin, seen by F. Lee Bailey, and connected to this story. 2. Emperor Maxmillian's gold buried in his abortive flight from the throne of Mexico and supposed to have been intercepted by former Confederate raiders who died at the gibbet telling the tale. (good indication something was up. Dying men tell few lies. The exception is thought to be to bribe their way off the noose. But the story has to hit them from some kind of memory, else it sounds a bit false. Good thing is, more than one said the same thing who were hanged at different times and places. hmmmmmm) 3. 70 tons of bullion buried in NW New Mexico by Mexican embezzeler and tried to sell to the US government for 45 years. 3 persons, all dead, knew the exact location. One died in '45, the last in '75, still trying to sell the gold. The state department acknowledges the story. This is NOT the Victorio peak gold, but has some eery similarities and the two deposits are notthat far apart. This one may have legs and could be found by geophysical techniques I know of for perhaps 600K. It shocks some people to find that treasure hunting actually has a better success rate when well funded than many mining exploration enterprises. In fact, a better success rate than most mining enterprises. Oak Island notwithstanding. More gold has been pulled out of the sea in one day than has been mined in the ground in 20 years at most mines. EC<:-}
