Jud Spanish Copper Mine — Stonewall County

Lost Treasure TX • Stonewall County County
Description
Stonewall County legend of a lost Spanish copper mine near Jud northwest of Abilene — paired with precious-metal cache tales in the same county guides.
Historical Notes
The Rocker Box Stonewall County list describes a lost Spanish copper mine near Jud. Jud is a small Stonewall County community on the Rolling Plains west of the Double Mountains. Spanish mine legends on the plains usually reference expeditions from New Mexico or La Junta rather than documented colonial diggings. Copper occurrences in West Texas were known to ranchers but never developed commercially at Jud. Coordinates approximate Jud in western Stonewall County.
Status / Verification legend — Legendary or approximate
