I'd never heard of it before you posted it, but I did a quick Google search myself and found several things. Just dump, "buffalo gap","buried","gold","texas" (quotes and all) into Google and see what comes up. The top link, at some site called The Rocker Box has a link for a book titled, "A Guide to Treasure in Texas" that supposedly has information about it. Don't know anything about the book, though. So you pays your money and takes your chances. To that end, one of the links is to a thread on this site titled, "3 Gold crosses". The posters don't seem too thrilled about that book, or another book that mentions the gold. But there are a few tidbits that may be worth following up on.
