Always a good day when you drop a new vid. Your editing skills are growing and you always find good visuals to illustrate with. Amazing that I've been stomping around those mountains for decades and there's always new stuff in these that I have never seen nor heard of. Sorry to hear about old Otis - it's never too late to change. Maybe I will run across folks at the Rock show in TorC March 1-2.

Thank you for your kind words and the tip that added extra interest to this video. I completely agree, it's amazing how our perception of the environment shifts with different sun angles and weather conditions. The Caballos, with their hidden caves and secrets, never fail to fascinate. I still have seven more videos to complete the book, and after that, I’m not sure what direction I'll take next. Your ongoing support means a lot to me, and I truly appreciate it. I wish I could make it to the rock and mineral show!

If doc found the map in a cave with Padre LaRue how's it Victoria gets half the gold puts it in Victoria Peak but at the same time Padre leroux has a map to show where Victoria put half of the gold in the peak
@treasurebound 2 ай бұрын
Watch the story about Padre LaRue, titled 'Lost Jesuit Gold Mines of New Mexico' in Playlist 1 for Tales of the Caballos. In the book, it is titled 'Padre LaRue'. Padre LaRue is believed to be buried somewhere in the Caballo Mountains. He had a map that Doc Noss later discovered, which led him to Victorio Peak, where a different treasure was buried. Essentially, there are multiple treasures hidden in the Caballo Mountains and the surrounding areas. In summary, Padre LaRue, Spaniards, and Native Americans concealed their treasures in the caves of the Caballo Mountains and Victorio Peak. Jack Reynolds found a map at Fort Selden, but he was shot in the back and the map was taken by Willie D. Doc Noss eventually found the same entrance Willie used, and also found the map that led him to Victorio Peak

To this day, there's a lot of active treasure hunting on the mountain. This mountain range has and abundance of natural caves and is just west of the Jornada del Muerto and flanks the Rio Grande River. Not all treasure found within caves of the Caballo Mountains are native to the mountain itself. This was where the Apache chose to return to after ambushing travelers migrating across the Jornada del Muerto.

My question is is why did they take the back side of the mountain when they could have walked straight up the Rio Grande was it because of the Indians
@treasurebound 4 ай бұрын
Good Question! According to history, the Jornada del Muerto was a treacherous 90-mile stretch of desert in New Mexico that was part of the El Camino Real. This route connected Mexico City with Santa Fe and was crucial for trade and communication between the Spanish colonies. The Spaniards took this route despite its dangers for several reasons which are Shorter Distance, Strategic Importance, and Economic Necessity. More specifically, the Jornada del Muerto offered a more direct path compared to alternative routes, which were longer and more rugged. Furthermore, it was a key segment of the Camino Real, which was essential for maintaining control and facilitating the movement of goods, people, and information between the northern and southern parts of the Spanish Empire. Lastly, the route was heavily used by traders and settlers who needed to transport goods, including precious metals, livestock, and other supplies. Thank you for your question.

Too old to return 😢. But slightly lower and to one side there is a cave that has a large flat wall inside that needs gpr type technology to see if there is a way in. Sounds of falling rock on the other side of the wall indicates another cave . No natural way in was found. The outside entrance to this cave is only big enough for one person to enter at a time , but I covered the entrance with nearby rocks and it blends in well. Infrared photo w a drone might show the masked entrance. Does not require climbing gear.

El Chato's treasure waybill for the Caballos says "make no mistake, this cave is the deepest" where his main treasure of stolen silver has been stored, but I always thought Bat Cave was just too obvious. Historically, it is said that bat guano was actually mined from the cave at one point. Geronimo cave up by Palomas Gap is another well-known cave in the area. I think it was gated off following a modern accident. Stories tell of finding human bones while digging in there, and one set of folklore says there used to be a map (supposedly to treasures) carved in it somewhere. There are many stories of caves that go all the way through the mountain and even more wild stuff. Having explored a bit up there, my experience is that most caves are pretty shallow unless you are a packrat.

Rich San Francisco business man with business friend in Mexico comes across a waybill in an old safe at a defunct mission in Mexico. Business friends daughter helps translate it. Waybill is about treasure in the Caballos. Taggert eventually marries the daughter, and they spend his fortune and the better parts of their lives digging on the top of the mountain. Lots of great parts in their book. Rebecca (the daughter) outlives Mr. Taggert and eventually becomes a teacher in El Paso.

When it happens, if it happens, most people have a hard time not bragging. That is the choice, keep it secret, and enjoy the extra income, or bragging rights, which means your treasure will be confiscated if archaeological or you will have to pay huge taxes if raw materials since the extra income will need to be claimed on your taxes. The trick is how to sell it when you have it and maximize your profit.

LOL @ the dowsing. I think it may work for finding water, having lived in rural areas. Treasure? Long-distance? Not so much. I'm sure others will disagree. I've always wondered at the vertical shafts in un-mineralized ground up in those mountains. If you are trying to break into some cavern with a closed-up entrance, why dig into solid limestone? Why not just muck out the original entrance?
@treasurebound 8 ай бұрын
There are a very few that have the true gift to dowse accurately. Groundwater is very abundant whereas, gold and treasure are very rare. Mucking out the entrance of natural caves is a little tricky because you don't know the direction of the hole as is migrates into the depths of the mountain. If this was a mine shaft, yeah, that would be the way to go. The limestone is jointed, so is makes it easier to remove in large chunks using the rock cleavage. All really good points though.
