I have investigated a cave that is to believed to hold a treasure of possible the DeSoto travels, in side is helmet on top of a chest in the rear of the cave. This story was passed on to me by an old Native American, who saw inside the cave.  There were skeletons near the enterance of the cave where a booby trap activated on some poor soul. I was told that it is dangerous and has a curse on it , thus booby traps, this person did not venture any further into it. I have a possible location of this cave and I was wondering if anyone out there has heard of this story or anything close to it, before I venture into a search of this area.

Thanks,

Harvest

I have heard of sevelar stories in Arkansas of Spanish gold being in caves in the Ouchita river valley area from when the Spanish came through in the Caddo Gap area there was a major battle between the Indians and the Spanish from what i have read the Indians put the smack on them good they where the Tulla tribe they actually inflicted some major losses on the Spanish Hence if you are on the run and think your enemy is going to finish you bury your treasure and hope to come back latter.I have heard of two specific caves in the area through orral legends and one third genration family story pass from my grandfather of snakes being carved in rocks and old trees and treasure caves. One cave  by the story is near a city water reserve area and that it was discoverd in the 1920 by two young boys hunting for racoons at night on fell through a hole near a tree into a good size dug out cave he had a light with him and held it up and saw a bunch of old wooden chests and swords and armor and funny hats made of metal.This cave is coverd with rocks peiced togther to look like part of the hill and the boy said he could see moon light through the cracks of the rocks.This story was told to me when i was 15 and the man that told me was in his 80s.

Yes, I have heard of it. If you have any pictoglyphs or symbols, let me know. These sites always have designators.

Thanks.

Knowledge is the Treasure. Yes, I do believe most stuff belongs in a museum, but at times, it's either 50% 50%, or, if I do all the work 60% 40%.
