Treasure Hill near Padre Island draws coin seekers
The legend says Money Hill, near Padre Beach on Padre Island, hid Spanish coins. In 1916 Captain Ed Cetter recovered 40 coins dating to 1515 1535, and in 1921 William Headon first dubbed the site Money Hill after finding coins in dawn mists. Winds have shifted the dune, but treasure hunters still visit the area year round.
