Back in the 70's I knew a guy named Erl.
He found three 60 some lb set of Gold Bars from some Train robbery not far from Tucson.
Do you know any thing about something like that?
I was like 17 and he and wife was in there 70's at the time.
I know the Gov took one Ingot from him as they was marked US GOV and let him keep the other two.
He Bought a New House and his son the same plus matching 4W Drives with the left overs.
I met him in a Gun Store in Tucson and everyone there knew the Story.
Old Erl and my dad was tight and spent many a days at his house playing with is Birds Dogs and stuff.
Always said He just kept looking over the years for a story he heard about the Robbery and that the Gold was too much for the Bandits to hall off.
Sur he had it nailed down him and his friend was out detecting the area .
HE SAID HE WAS JUST WALKING buy some bushes heading back to the truck after he hit the area he scoped out.
Detector Sang out ( A BFO ) walking buy.
He had worked on a twenty mile stretch of the Old track he thought was in the area of the Stories he heard.
