Treasure at Dead
Man's Lake A couple of miles from Humble, Texas in 1930
an ancient dagger was dredged up at Dead Man's Lake, a small haunted
puddle of a pond so named after Clarence Sullivan of Houston who drowned
there, that provided a "missing link" for old-timers who had
been hunting an elusive treasure. The hand-carved Spanish dagger
matched the one depicted on an old sheepskin map, and was said to point to
the location of $4,000,000 in Mexican gold hidden along the San Jacinto
River by Mexicans who were transporting it to Nacogdoches around the year
1830. After the dagger was recovered, digging was commenced and the area
fenced off with barbed wire to keep out the curious, but no gold has yet
to be discovered.
