Heh... I grew up in NM - it isn't that bad at all. But, you do have to keep your wits about you, and you do have to be careful.

From his 'hints' poem, I think I've a pretty good idea where it is - and it won't be easy to get there - it's a long way from home.

My bet though, is that there are a lot of people like me that can figure this one out - but, all of them will need a good metal detector - and a spade to dig it up. The trick is where to wave that detector around.

I grew up in Texas, and it's not really that nice around here, but I know the pitfalls. I can do ok roughing it here.

And up until a point, I did ok in NM, learning to be careful (except for that one time).

NM ain't all strip malls and a town 3 miles down the road, that's for sure.

I think the guy set up a Darwin test. ;)

NM is one of the most beautiful places I've ever lived, even if it did try to kill me. I've done most of my landscape painting of NM landscapes.

The trick is to rent the metal detectors. These billionaire left a pile of gold stories are just ways to try and create some tourist dollars.

Spent 5 years in NM.
Would not return to live - not after living in CA!
Have some grandsons, with detection equipment in nearby CO, who might figure this out.
