Are There Magazines For Metal Detectors?

Have you ever heard of the Barker-Karpis Gang? They operated out of St. Paul, Minnesota. After a robbery of a bank in South St. Paul, they were being chased by police and they rolled down what today is US52. They passed through Rochester and through the village of Chatfield and somewhere south of Chatfield they felt the police we are getting too close. They stopped and buried the loot from that bank robbery supposedly in the ditch beside the road. Most of the people involved in that robbery were killed within a few days. Many of us have gone out searching for that, but one of the problems is we don't know where just south of Chatfield. And the road has changed location at least three times, the loot was bills and not coins and it was in the leather bag. Do you suppose after 80 years in the ground that the leather bag is whole? Do you suppose those bills are recognizable? But to this day, people will come up with some new idea about where that might be and they will go out looking for it.
Are you aware of Superstition Mountain? It's about 25 miles east of Phoenix and the settlers from Mexico had a silver mine there in the very, very early days of the Old West. They were mining from that and the Indians started making it very difficult. The last group of miners coming out of their diggings was waylaid by the Indians. I don't think there were any survivors of that Indian attack. It's a big thing in that part of the area to walk to the Superstition Mountains and try to find the gold mine. Most people feel that after that attack, the Indians covered up the mine. Some gold has been found and it probably was gold that was in the saddle bags of that mule train. Nobody ever found the mine. So buy a metal detector, go out and look if you are in the area. I have taken a morning hike up into the Superstition Mountains with a book that showed supposedly where the mine was. No one has found the mine. Several people think they have found where the mine was, but nobody knows for sure. There are other stories of lost mines like that all over the southwest. Maybe there was a landslide or maybe somebody just sealed up the entry. People love to dream about things like that. If you are a dreamer, buy magazines like "Lost Treasure" and there is a wealth of stories in there; one after another. Maybe someday take a trip there. But most of us in the hobby are very well satisfied to go to the local park after supper and poke around for an hour and come back with $2 in change or go to the beach on Saturday afternoon and come back with a cheap ring and $2 in change.
