Southern Llano County Lost Lead Mine Legend — Llano County

Lost Treasure TX • Llano County County
Description
Southern Llano County legend of a lost lead mine — a guidebook entry distinct from the Los Almagres silver tradition near Honey Creek and Oxford.
Historical Notes
The Rocker Box Llano County compilation describes a lost lead mine said to be located in southern Llano County. Lead and silver prospects appear throughout the Llano Uplift, where Precambrian veins attracted Spanish expeditions and nineteenth-century Anglo diggings. Related entries: "Los Almagres Mine (Honey Creek)" documents the historic 1756 Miranda shaft near Oxford; "Oxford Rangers Lost Gold Mine" and Packsaddle Mountain variants cover separate guidebook traditions. This pin records the southern-county lead-mine legend from regional compilations. Coordinates approximate southern Llano County uplands between Packsaddle Mountain and the Kingsland river country. Private ranch land — legend only.
Status / Verification legend — Legendary or approximate
