Hi
History books might say otherwise but……I suspect the Spanish Conquistadors traveled thru parts of the Utah and Arizona deserts, Lost treasure might still be there.
Great stories .
I love old treasure stories!!!
I’m new
You have any stories around El paso Texas? I got a jeep and some time on weekends and I’ll head out to search. I love adventure and the searching part. That’s why I love prospecting and dropping things while I’m working on the cars I fix lol
One of my friends found a treasure of a mummified head and eventually the rest of the body of a prostitute in the Pahrump, Nevada area. WOO HOO! Not as good as finding gold, but he found something that didn’t belong out in the desert. lol.
Dude if you know these stories why don’t you build a team of treasure hunting.
You have done it again.
Really enjoyed this! Thank you for sharing.
