Video 3: Padre LaRue, Jesuit Priest
TALES OF THE CABALLOS
The book is about New Mexico treasure lore. Part 1, Chapter 3 is about the early history of the Caballos with regards to the Jesuit Priests that resided there before being replaced by the Franciscans. It is background into why there are gold bars hidden within the bowls of the mountain range. The final chapter of part 1, chapter 4, covers the catches of treasure related to the Apache. Part 1 builds the foundation as to where the gold originally came from. Part 2 will get into the Great Depression Era treasure hunters that found some of the treasure hordes. Part 2 has the names of real treasure hunters from that area, that are still known to most of the local community. Part 3 covers the active treasure hunters of the 21st Century. Finally, Part 4 covers William White's treasure hunting expeditions. All these stories are true and are based in the Caballo Mountains of New Mexico.
True Stories About Treasure Hunting. The author of this book talks about his experiences as a real-live treasure hunter. These stories are about his expeditions to the Caballo Mountains, New Mexico. He has since retired from treasure hunting and is living it large in New Mexico.
From: William H. White "This book is dedicated to all treasure hunters. May you be successful at whatever endeavor you choose. Remember, it is in the hunt that we gain the most satisfaction."
Narrated By: Dustin White
I plan to create an audio for each chapter of this book. In these stories, one will discover the Caballo Mountain Lore along with the real names of some of the most prominent treasure hunters to date. These are real stories with real people. - Zábava
Thank you!
Thank you for your support!
These are great. Keep ‘em coming
Thank you! I plan to have the next video out around the Christmas. I really appreciate your support.
Keep em coming!❤
Thank you for your support. I just finished and published the fifth video. Much more on the way.
Willie D found a map in an adobe structure in Hatch one rainy night that led him to a vault in the Caballos with 25 70lb bars. Saw his interview telling his story before he died!
Thank you for your interest. This story (Padre LaRue) is about where some of the gold stashes treasure hunters in the future end up finding. The story about Willie D you mentioned is found in Part 2 of this book called Buster and Willie. The story about Buster and Willie from this book comes from what Willie told the writer of the book "One Hundred Tons of Gold" published in 1978. In addition, the story about Willie is based on interviews with locals from Truth or Consequences (Hot Springs), NM who knew Willie Doughit and his partner Buster. Apparently, his story has changed over the years. The interviews can be found here on CZcams. The book "Tales of the Caballos" has 2 stories about Willie D. found in Part 2. Check out the Treasure Bound channel playlist for "Tales of the Caballos - Part 2". I just published both stories about him which are much different variants than what he claims in the interview. I hope you enjoy.
Great video thank you
Thank you and more on the way!
We are starting to explore the Caballo Mountains.
Hope you enjoy the experience. Make sure to pack extra supplies and plan accordingly. It is remote.
@treasurebound We have a good view of the Caballo Mountains from our yard. 😀
@@pbostler Very Nice! It is quite a site from I-25 especially near dawn.
The Apaches never had established villages, they were nomadic. Also they didn’t help the Spanish. In fact they weren’t even in that area at that time.
Also the Pueblo revolts never made it that far south. The furthest south pueblo involved in the revolts were in the Albuquerque area, that’s at least 140 miles north of the Caballos
Looking
I sometimes ask myself "If I had a horde of gold, where would I hide it"... then I realize, that it would probably be some natural structure found by mistake. Knowing the terrain is helpful.
The Jesuit lost gold was in victorio peak
Some of it was. Doc Noss is credited to finding that treasure. He located Victorio Peak from the map he found under the dead hand of Padre LaRue who is mentioned here in this story. So yes, one of the larger treasure caches of the Jesuit Monks were located at Victorio Peak, New Mexico.
I'm mining there as we speak it's crazy dangerous
@@ciscovalles2274 Yes sir, it is not as dangerous as it used to be in the past, but still a good idea to be armed when you go to any remote sites in that area.
Most definitely it is
👍
Franciscan padres arrived in New Mexico with the Juan de Onate colonizing expedition in 1598. It was the Franciscan's who began the Christianization efforts with the native peoples and had the numerous pueblo missions built by the 1630s and prior to the 1680 Pueblo Revolt, and returned following the 1692 reoccupation under De Vargas. Well documented. Thus, the Franciscans were the first in New Mexico, long before the Jesuits arrived. The Jesuits were not in southern New Mexico for any sort of ministry, but in their selfish search of gold, and really here only a few short years before completely expelled from New Spain in 1767 by the King of Spain for their nafarious activities. Thus, your time line is not right. The Lost Padre Mine (if really existed) was most likely in the San Andres Mountains, probably on Mineral Hill, not the Caballo Mountains.
That is true about the Franciscan Padres, but this is about a small band of French Jesuits that were mining gold in and around the Caballo Mountains. The fact that they were so far North of Mexico was a mystery in itself. It is based on local New Mexican lore. To my knowledge it was a Doc Noss story to explain the dead monk he found with maps to Victorio Peak. I am aware that there are other theories out there and I appreciate hearing about them. Thank you for sharing some facts and your opinion.
Its pronounced Willie "Dawthit"
My bad. Thank you for the correction.
The US government got it all
Historically people who find and report a treasure trove of precious metal in the US very rarely gets to keep it.
@@treasureboundI’ve often thought, how many people in the last several decades that have searched out or stumbled upon gold, silver, etc have actually reported finding it. If they are able to keep it a secret I imagine not many blab much about what or at all what they found. I don’t know that I would!
