Hidden in the unforgiving earth of West Texas were clues: archaic clues etched upon buried rocks, stacked as artifacts upon other clues, or carved into rock walls. These centuries-old clues, placed to lead Spaniards back to their cache, eventually formed an intricate web that has lured treasure seekers and captured them in its mystery. But the question remains: Has the Spider Rock treasure ever been found?Steve Wilson first began his research on the treasure in 1960. The story he unraveled is an incredible tale riddled with murder, mystery, and adventure. Wilson left no stone unturned in his quest for clues, weaving his story from various sources, including extended reconnaissance of the actual sites and the cryptic stone maps that the original seekers had gradually unearthed.The Spaniards buried something fantastic in the West Texas hinterlands, where they were mining precious metals. They marked those sites by an ingenious method of carving coded symbols, directions, degrees, and distances into stone. Yet, to this day, the stone maps remain undeciphered, the ancient puzzle unsolved, and the treasure unfound-so far as we know.
