History has referred to him as "Texas' Beloved Bandit" and "Robin Hood on a Fast Horse." After going broke from cattle herding, he found the most lucrative outlaw business of all – train robbing. This culminated in him and his gang stealing $60,000 in gold coins north of Texas and escaping back home with his share of the loot.

It’s believed that Texas’ Beloved Bandit, or Sam Bass, hid most of his gold in different areas that he frequented around Texas, including near Round Rock. Think it'll be you that finds some of his lost gold coins?
