Hidden Mexican Gold Ingots — Comanche County

Witnesses since the early 1900s report an iron door with hinges and a heavy lock in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge south of Treasure Lake near Indiahoma. Spanish versions describe slave-mined ingots and guarding spirits; outlaw versions claim Belle Starr dragged a train-car iron door into the mountains after a Denver mint shipment robbery. Prospector Silas Lee Isom spent seventy years searching. Jameson's "hidden Mexican gold ingots" chapter overlaps the iron-door and ingot traditions of the Wichita Mountains — distinct from the Blue River strongbox tale in Bryan County. Coordinates mark the refuge south of Lawton.
