	Treasure at Dead Man's Lake Texas « on: February 12, 2010, 09:08:26 am »

A couple of miles from Humble, Texas in 1930 an ancient dagger was dredged up at Dead Man's Lake, a small haunted puddle of a pond so named after Clarence Sullivan of Houston who drowned there, that provided a "missing link" for old-timers who had been hunting an elusive treasure. The hand-carved Spanish dagger matched the one depicted on an old sheepskin map, and was said to point to the location of $4,000,000 in Mexican gold hidden along the San Jacinto River by Mexicans who were transporting it to Nacogdoches around the year 1830. After the dagger was recovered, digging was commenced and the area fenced off with barbed wire to keep out the curious, but no gold has yet to be discovered.

Ya know sometimes I wonder why those old timers let so much gold wander off? Seems like they were always leaving a ton or two here or there and forgetting it and I'm scraping around for a few ounces. Embarrassed

Another good tale Seldom, is the area still being actively searched?

Does anybody know the location of this lake. I have searched and can't find it anywhere. I live about 30 miles from Humble and would like to go check it out.
