Texas is full of buried booty—or, to be a bit more accurate, full of stories about buried booty that no one has been able to find. Here are six of the supposedly greatest Texas treasures still out there. May the hunters strike gold.

Cousin of mine worked for an elderly lady in Menard some time back. Without any reason, one day she told him the story that her grandfather had stumbled upon gold, presumably the Bowie gold. It was the source of the family’s wealth and the reason they had settled in the area for so long. She told him that it was not a story told out of the family for fear of treasure hunters on their land.

Don’t forget Jean Lafitte’s treasure he left on Galveston Island too. There are a lot of good stories about that.
