Captain aims to recover 150000 gold hidden in Mexico
Capt. Alfred May, a German sea captain and former Forty-Niner, claims to have located hidden U.S. government coin from the Mexican War. He says 150,000 in gold, buried after a wagon crash near a Guadelupe River ford, awaits extraction with a diamond drill and careful prep. Local authorities and time have stalled the hunt, but May plans a Mexico voyage to claim the treasure.
