This could be an unrelated cache he found, I have knowledge of many caches from that area/time period, that were the result of the fact that people did not trust banks...if these confederates had all this money, and watched their countrymen starve while the raiders and carpetbaggers raped and pillaged, they were not worthy of their titles, or their temple, and were really quite idiotic in their priorities, rather retarded in their thinking... much like arkansas' latest offering in the presidential race!
