Thank you, that will save me some money, which is always good. I'll check out that site and see what I can find. Thanks again for the guidance.
Thank you.
Thank you. I searched Oklahoma treasure on Apple Books for those, they aren't there but I found 3 others and one is just $4. I'll try it and see if I can find the ones you recommend. I'm definitely within driving distance to some interesting sites. The ranch we were on the land owner told me there used to be two cabins there until the 1950s and though some resort in the Wichita Mountains was a safe haven for outlaws, many wanted to send observers to make sure there was only friendly faces there. So they'd stay in the cabin until the party returned to say the coast was clear. He listed some names but Jesse James and Belle Starr stick out the most.
Thanks for the advice, I'll do that. I know what you mean about more than one item, the coins I found Sunday had to all be dropped, lost, whatever, at the same time. They were grouped together too closely, at least in this newbie's opinion.
Thank you for the info. I’m not in NM as much as I used to be but still go a lot and consider it home. I’ll check this out and know what to look for in the place that is about to be my new home.GirlWithWolf: Welcome to TN! Every state has a bureau of mines and geology (different states, different names for that department). Most of them have a wealth of information that is either free or very low cost. And it is generally far more reliable than most treasure hunting "literature."
Since you are in New Mexico, check out:

It's a useful collection of information - and it's free!

GirlWithWolf: If you're in OK, I would highly recommend Oklahoma Treasures Lost and Found by "Jesse Rascoe" [Ed Bartholomew] (1971). It's long out-of-print, so you'll probably have to locate a copy in a public library or local historical society. You'll learn more from the "found" stories than from the "lost" yarns. Stories of successful treasure finds - both accidental and intentional - are blueprints for the perceptive person - they tell you what to look for, and where to look.
Thank you for all the information. I’ll check those out, I find it all fascinating and I’m a dork for knowledge. I’m reading about Bill Tilghman right now.
GirlWithWolf: He was the real deal. He deserves a movie of his own, if not a TV series. All too often we honor the outlaws and not those who brought them in. A good example is Round Rock, Texas. Sam Bass has a freeway named after him (for some reason). The young man he gunned down gets a street.
