A treasure hunt has been going on in Rural Shade for more than 75 years. Two caches of gold coins are supposedly buried under wild pink rose bushes. Rural Shade is at the dead end of Farm Road 635, on the Trinity River in the southeastern-most part of Navarro County, and east of Corsicana. The coins were buried by one Washington Ingram, a prosperous farmer and rancher who distrusted banks and paper money who settled there about 1850.
Ingram secretly buried three caches of gold coins around his headquarters near the Wildcat Crossing of the Trinity River. He was always "fixing to tell his family" where the money was hidden, so it was said, but he had not gotten around to it when he died suddenly at age 90.
Soon after his death his family dug up one cache of the coins (the amount of this find is not known), but they never could find the other two. The amount of money Ingram buried is unknown, but it must have been consider-able since he was prosperous and lived so long. If a treasure hunter with a metal detector could locate the old home site, his chances of finding the other two caches are good.
