This short story was written by a relative of mine, about the property I not only deer hunt on but do some detecting on.

This story roughly coincides with a book that I am reading called, The Feud That Wasn't: The Taylor Ring, Bill Sutton, John Wesley Hardin, and Violence in Texas (Sam Rayburn Series on Rural Life, sponsored by Texas A&M University-Commerce) There are other storys about this place that have been handed down by word of mouth in the family. I do know that in some time in the 1950's or 1960's some treasure hunters and archeologist were on the place searching for a supposed strong box buried out there. There is also the steps to an old one room school house on the property that my grandmother went to first grade in. I have not searched around the old school house yet but that is my plan for this spring/summer after deer season is over. I have relic hunted around the house and found tons of trash, but I have not had much time to spend up by the house yet, I just know that im gonna have to get thru alot of trash around the house to find anything. There is also and old dipping vat near the house that they used to dip cattle in, I really think that this will be a good area for relic hunting since the vat was in use for about 60 years. There is no telling what those old cowboys may have lost around that old vat, and since that was the only dipping vat in the county people brought cattle from all over to use it. I wish all the old property was still in my family but my Great Great grandfather had to sell some to take care of some family issues that no body still living in my family knows why. Sorry for the long read I was just getting thoughts down and am just putting up a little of my research on the property.
