this is probably a long shot but has anyone heard about starks mine around the walnut creek park located in austin texas? allegedly there is a hidden mine at this park rumored to contain some gold from the robbery that occurred in the late 1800s. allegedly pic related is the mine thats in this park and most of the information isn't available about it since the county officials dont want to share the exact location of it since its closed off. i found some more information on some urban exploration forum that someone confirmed that the mine does exist at the park but they don't remember the location of it other than it being some hole in the ground. now ive been hiking around this area for about 6+ years and have been going off the trail and found what appears to be a sealed off cave, and by being sealed off i mean i found what appears to be 8 ft hole in the ground thats flooded covered by like a 5-6 foot rusted metal sheet thats like bolted to the ground. also if the mine doesnt exist there is a native america story about them hiding random shit in a cave, so there is some sort of cave/mine at this park that appears to be lost.
>>2786623that hole that i found is about 5ish feet wide so you could literally fall inside of it. i found it near some abandoned farm area that has a bunch random rusted metal and other abandoned junk
I Have Not Heard Of This
>>2786623Lived in Austin my whole life, but this is the first I've heard of this. I get a few results on Google, but I presume nothing that easy to find would be news to you. Closest personal experiences I have to that are poking into Airman's cave before it got closed off and exploring the tunnels under my highschool.
>>2786623There IS treasure in those cavea and nobody has ever died while caving, anonYou should go for it
Anon Plz Do Not Die ; - ;
>>2786627>>2786632I found an alleged map and there are inter iew accounts of the people confirming that it's there. But these people are dead according to their obituary. The land marks that it mentions are still there like coxville zoo. The mine is #4 on the map.But what I found isn't right by a creek as should the mine be according to that map. I'll later try to find it on google maps unless someone else could help since I have to go to college soon. Or should I just go full schizo at the park entrance and hand people out the map to find it and bring awareness?LINK:https://fryr.tripod.com/cfhistdiagram.html

>>2786632I've lived with Autism my whole life too. Good luck with the struggle anon. Power be with you,
Every area has a local legend like that up here in 254 bell county supposedly there’s buried treasure under an oak tree where the lampasas and Leon rivers converge
>>2786637The English and therefore the Americans love dying in mines, don't take this time honored tradition away from them
