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!

He took the soldier in.The soldier told him he was carring the payroll.He told him it was in a cave,outside the cave was a rock he had marked which marked the location of this cave.the soldier died.This man looked for it and never found it.Till one day his son was riding his dirtbike and found this rock.He returned with the rock,but couldn't remember where he found it.Is it possible?If you have any insight please let me know.

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.
