I'm withholding the address for fear of disrupting the neighborhood....like a stampede or something.
But my old boyhood home that my Mom and Dad purchased in 1936 for 6 thouisand dollars was recently sold for over 200 thousand.
That's an impressive figure; however, it would have been much more if....I had revealed what I'm about to tell you
There's a buried treasure on that property!
I know because two friends of mine, Earl Pope, Jimmy Weller and I buried it there in 1946.
I was sworn to secrecy, but to give you an idea of how valuable the treasure is....I can reveal that among its contents are: a Tom mix secret decoder ring, complete with an "emergency" whistle, and "straight shooters" membership card, an autographed picture of "Tony," Tom Mix's horse (Yes, apparently he could write) and several other priceless items.
Although I was greatly tempted many times to dig up the treasure (to purchase our home and send our kids to college..etc)...
I resisted.
So there it lies...undisturbed for over 60 years.
Oh...and one more thing: Don't try to find the spot and dig it up; There is a CURSE on it!
The curse is: IF THE CURRENT HOMEOWNER SEES YOU DIGGING UP HIS YARD...HE WILL EITHER SHOOT YOU OR ,CALL THE POLICE AND YOU WILL SPEND THE REST OF YOUR GOLDEN YEARS IN THE LOONEY BIN for digging up a man,s yard looking for a Tom Mix decoder ring!
