    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.

    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

    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.
