Episode 266
Time for a little story about mysterious treasure, tons of gold, land lost to immanent domain, and the whole lot possibly stolen by... LBJ? The treasure of Victorio Peak was found by Doc Noss in 1937, and supposedly dwelled without hidden caverns under the mountain. However, before he could removed it all, the area was taken over as part of White Sands Missile Range. Legal battles raged over who owned the treasure and who could search for it and rumors even persist that Lyndon Johnson himself showed up on the scene to run off with the gold. Come take a listen to the story of lost Mexican gold... it's a wild one.
