It was on that new show that came out, Brad Meltzer Decoded They had discussed exactly what was in this story; From the Plantation itself- To a cemetary. Showing the carving's on the trees. It's a fasciating story; And it's believed the gold is still out there scattered between Ga & Washington. There was a report on the History Channel for the past few weeks about this exact story.

The Confederacy Treasury and the Virginia Bank fund was split into pieces and moved. DOES anybody know where DIXIE is??? Yes it was in Arkansas!!! Jefferson Davis owned 11,000 + acres there during Civil War! Good Going BOB! They try to say Confederate Coins were never made-- I KNOW they were!! NOTE: There are times that protecting a treasure is far greater than diggin it up! Today the Confederate Treasury would be scooped up by the United States Government as quickly as it would have been in/ after the War Between the States! ( Nothing Civil About it!

Hundreds of people had searched for the missing Confederate gold and came up empty (like another buried treasure case: <a href="http://www.neatorama.com/2007/11/12/the-last-great-buried-treasure-mystery-the-money-pit-at-oak-island/" rel="nofollow">The Money Pit</a>). Even Brewer, who searched for 14 years only found a small fraction of the supposed wealth.

The legends are true after all. Unfortunately, even though Brewer might have solved the greatest mystery of US History, he will likely get more from the book than he ever found in treasure. Maybe not. If I found millions in lost Confederate gold, would I tell the world? Or would I keep most of it in secret and show only enough to get paid for movie rights? Holy Shit! The legends are true after all.
