Historical Notes
The Rocker Box San Saba County compilation describes the Lost Las Iguanas silver mine on or near the San Saba River. Las Iguanas appears in J. Frank Dobie's Coronado's Children and regional mine-hunting traditions as a Spanish-era prospect separate from the famous Lost San Saba / Bowie mine at Presidio San Sabá. Related entry: "Lost San Saba Mine (Bowie Mine)" documents the presidio-era legend in Menard County. Las Iguanas is a distinct mine name in San Saba County guidebooks.
