Back we go, back to the Civil War.
Some believe that there is still Civil War gold floating ... or lying ... around, just waiting for someone to find it. Old records show that in the confusion of defeat, at least two Confederate units buried gold and never returned for it.
The first instance happened during the last days of the war. Confederate soldiers, retreating from the Union Army, hid $500,000 in gold in the swamps of the Everglades. It has never been found.
In 1864, when Confederate troops raided the town of St. Albams in Vermont, they buried $250,00 in gold near hte Vermont community before escaping to Canada.
Anyone ready to go digging for gold?
