North Central Texas Leads ?

[Ellis in TX]

I've been doing the swimming holes and the backyard. Does anyone happen to know of any possible treasure hunting sites in North Central Texas? Seems like some of that Dallas oilman money or Ft Worth cow money must still be out here somewhere ....

How bout space treasures look up Aurora crash 1897 just north of Dallas it sounds fake but it has a state histroical marker so...

Here directions:

Aurora is located just off US 287 west of Rhome, about a mile south, on State Highway 114 to Bridgeport. There is a sign beside the highway that says CEMETERY, and points south toward the graveyard. Interestingly enough, the historical marker at the site actually includes the word "spaceship". Newspapers, along with diaries and letters by local residents, reported that an alien craft hit a windmill and was torn to pieces, along with its occupant in April, 1897. A 1986 movie, " The Aurora Encounter," produced by Charles B. Pierce, tells the tale. The official historical marker was installed by the State of Texas, and although nobody knows exactly where the grave is located, it is certain that the alien was, in fact, buried in the Aurora Cemetery, after the efforts of the local doctor failed to save it?s life following the crash. There is, unfortunately, no sign of the tombstone. It was stolen some years ago and never recovered. There are, however, picture records of its existence. There is currently a renewed movement in town to exhume the body of the alien, replace the headstone and do a complete search for remains of the crash. Also, there have been several interesting pieces of metal found in the area that have been confiscated for analysis by the military and never returned

Thanks,

I'll get right on that when these #$%^ rains let up !!!
Sounds like a better hunt than making mud holes in my back yard .

where did you find that pick I look for about an hour for a pic of the gravestone with out succes.

The more research I do, the more it looks like a this is a hoax to bring the railroad to town. I still might go out there and look around, but it looks like the locals have had enough of it already.

I did see an artist renditioning of the tombstone though ....

If I go out there I will try to photograph the "picture" on the grave.

well from my understanding of it there were other siteings in a line with the town. And they were all recorded in the newspapers of the time. There was a debate as to weather it was a spaceship or if it was a blimp like the Hindingburg. Back in the late 1800 there were sever dozen sightings of airships from all over the US. Some of the newspaper illistrations looked like a giant blimp powered by steam power of some kind. I think that some one was ahead of thier time if not more then one but like the Hindingburg but met a similar end. Would account for it exploding with the hydrogen and all.

The Texas Fort trail is all around your area. Do a google on Texas forts and it will give you the locations of several forts around Dallas. I am not too far from where you are.... I live near Houston. There is not a whole lot here but with the help of the moderators of this site you will be able to have alot of fun...... Ask cpt. Bill, he's the man in Texas. Also try your local football fields, they have been good to me in the past few weeks and the rain helps to loosen up the ground. ha ha

Good luck and happy hunting

Well we did make it out to Aurora, but we didn't find the alien. We did see the cemetery and took a photo. The actual "crash site" was mostly marked NO TRESSPASSING and it looked like a good place to get shot to death by shotgun ....
So we didn't get in much detecting. Also the ballfield where the above artifact was found has been chained off due to a local oil well.

I think we will move on to the next idea of the "Fort Trails" and ball fields .... Thanks ...

 

[cedarratt]

Too bad you didnt get to detect up there I wanted to see alien treasure and rings and what not. lol. If I win the lotto Ill buy the whole area and all that can come can help me search it lol. Are there any fair gounds up there that you can search?

look up on Google " texas forts" there is all kinds of links on the subject. If you need help let me know I can send you info on these areas that I have,,, Live in south Texas not many forts here. Go to the library and ask for any books on the history of the city you live in, you would be amazed of the things they have if you just ask.
