There are certain dangers in this activity that not everyone is ready for. A person has to be committed to face danger as one of the rules of this wild game. This activity is for those that aren't afraid to risk it all to find a treasure. The author and his friends risked more than enough in some of the projects that they got into. Sometimes we wonder about the risks and dangers Miguel and his friends were exposed to in the past. Was it worth it? Yes it was! Fortunately, they came out of it alive. We can't say the same for other less fortunate individuals that lost it all, after successfully finding and excavating a treasure in Mexico.

In his foreword, former New York governor and vice president of the United States Nelson A. Rockefeller remembers his first trip to Mexico in 1933 and his subsequent, life-long fascination with the Mexican people and their popular art. Rockefeller's collection of more than 3,000 pieces of Mexican folk art is widely considered to be the most exceptional in the U.S., and Folk Treasures of Mexico celebrates these icons, created from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, with more than 150 photos of the pieces, many of which are quite rare. This updated edition of the long out-of-print book focusing on this stunning collection of Mexican folk art contains a new foreword by Rockefeller's daughter, Ann Rockefeller Roberts, and a new prologue by Marion Oettinger, Jr., the director of the San Antonio Museum of Art, who wrote the principal text about the collection. Oettinger describes the objects according to function: utilitarian, ceremonial, decorative, or for play. Among the many noteworthy objects are a wooden-carved centurion helmet mask from the eighteenth century depicting a Roman guard, which is one of the few remaining masks of this type in existence, and a nineteenth century ceramic pitcher from Oaxaca that combines many stylistic techniques. Other objects include a variety of children's toys, clothing, and items for eating and drinking. First published in 1990, the book also contains the original preface by Rockefeller's daughter, who was instrumental in finding permanent homes for her father's collection, which can now be found in the San Antonio Museum of Art and the Mexican Museum in San Francisco. Including a glossary, bibliography, and chronology, Folk Treasures of Mexico is a must-read for anyone interested in Latin American art, culture, and history.

One of the biggest treasures thought still to be hidden in America is the shipment of the Mexican treasury just before Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico was executed by a Mexican nationalist firing squad. He sent his wife ahead early to Europe to receive the entire treasure, but neither he, nor the treasure ever made it. Six Missourians hired to assist the Austrian Guards in taking a 15-wagon team train in which the treasure was disguised as flour barrels from Mexico through West Texas to the port of Galveston, killed the wagon masters somewhere between Horsehead Crossing over the Pecos River and Castle Gap, a deep cut "V" between Castle Mountain and King Mountain. Estimates of the value of the treasure continue to escalate over time as the gold, silver, minted coins, metal plate, and jewels achieve greater historical value, not to mention the intrinsic price increases of the gold and silver. This historical fiction is based on fact. The treasure has never been found. The last estimated worth was over $10,000,000. I now estimate the value to be at least $200,000,000, although it could be considered priceless for its historic value. Only one man survived the trip after he and his six friends shot the entire wagon master crew, and then were killed by a marauding Comanche band themselves. He made it to Fort Concho, but was barely alive. As he lay dying, he drew a map of the Castle Gap area with markers of where the treasure was buried and gave it to Doctor Black, an appropriate name for the occasion. Dr. Black got together with a friend several months later and set out to find the buried treasure. They had not counted on the rapidly shifting dirt and sand, or the rapid degeneration of vegetation from the raw powerful gusts of West Texas storms. They never found the treasure. Countless legal and illegal parties blasted holes at night with dynamite on a ranchers property, and then tried to find the treasure by day, have searched over the past 150 years plus, but failed. Emperor Maximilian lost his life, Carlota, his empress went mad. The treasure sits somewhere laughing at the world.
