Lost Civil War Gold: The True Story and Where Some of the Treasure could be Hidden
Lost Civil War Gold: The True Story and Where Some of the Treasure could be Hidden
One of the biggest mysteries after the Civil War was the disappearance of Confederate Gold in Lincolnton, GA. ๏ฟผ The story goes that the Confederate treasury was moving from Virginia to Georgia, ans plenty of that money paid to Soldiers along the way. They made it to Washington, GA and the funds stayed there. Well the bank notes needed to go back to Virginia, because they were the peoples money ans not the Confederate money. A wagon train filled with gold and silver left the bank in Washington, and they camped out at the Moss house in Lincolnton Georgia. Well, that night they were robbed by a band of about 20 ex confederate soldiers and around $180,000 was never recovered. So where is the rest of this money? Did people take it and bury it around in Lincolnton? Is there still some left on the ground or beneath the surface? In this podcast we talk with Bob Young, author of the Treasure Train and Graball Road, who discusses the actual historical events that happened and gives us his opinion if there is any gold still left in Lincoln county.๏ฟผ ๏ฟผ

How much of The Confederate Treasury money was left upon the departure of the government from Richmond?
I heard stories that a coin or two would on occasion be found on Graball road after a big rain by people walking down the road. The story I heard was coins were dropped while hurrying away from the robbery site by the perpetrators along their escape route. I ‘ve seen this on some history channel years ago and the treasurer supposedly was said to be buried on the Chenault plantation and near by areas. The train story was said to have been real and a Union General and a wealthy banker were going to launder the gold by means of a gold mine located out west somewhere. There is another treasure story linked to this train theory. Supposedly two Confederate soldiers dressed in civilian clothes was bringing a wagon out west and they buried 16 wooden barrels of CSA gold coins near Payton Arizonia. This was found in 1935 by two deer hunters camping near an overhanging ledge after tracking a deer a long way. They decided to camp the night and the barrels were found by them searching for firewood. Story goes they took a hand full of the coins and headed home the next morning. One died that very night and the other man was a superstitious Mexican who believed the money to be cursed. He through the coins into a large pit and never talked about it again until he was on his deathbed in the 50’s. He told a friend and that man searched for years but never found it. People linked that to the gold train and the gold laundry scheme. This video was from You Tube’s treasurer stories of the old west.
That shirt you’re wearing, want one, but didn’t see it on the web store. It’s pretty hard to find any shirt in gray these days. Hats and caps and slouch hats in gray would be nice. Nice video. Thanks. I follow you on FB.
I need the books. Now I’m so interested in them now! Lol
That gold had been Melted a long time ago Probably End it u in mexico Most likely stolen by yankee soldiers and then sold
Sorry Bob and you were a great mayor and a great author but what happened with the fbi in Pennsylvania was no myth
What about the lost Confederate rail cars that was somehow another disappeared out of York, South Carolina๐ฎ
Me and my boy heard a lost confederate gold tale at a hunting camp about 30 miles north of Danville just a few weeks ago. The old man telling us said for us to come back and hunt with metal detectors whenever we want.
The kid is ready as we speak. Lol
Definitely got yourself a new subscriber here. Great video. Love it
Has anyone ever heard of the Jackson Tn bank robbery of1859 that was partially found in 1985. They wrote a book on it called Gold is the Key
Home of confederate General whose daughters were Sherman’s concubines.
Could be some on the horse paths. Fascinating story. I agree no doubt there are a few coins to find. How far is the distance between the plantation and where the robbery happened?
The gold was buried at the Kettle Creek Battlefield where no one else would dig it up due to its history as a graveyard of revolutionary soldiers. More than likely it’s buried under a specific grave but you can’t dig to find out.Its right outside of Washington towards Union Point. I grew up around it and I know the history.

A coin from 1902?
The FBI DID steal the gold in Pennsylvania.
Its great to see a source of fact in this. The moss plantation is a mile from where the legend claims the robery happened and actually not only about a mile and a quarter as the crow flies from petersburg which was a town on the savannah river where a boat could have been procured.
Very interesting. Legend has it that some is buried near Allentown, GA which was called Four Corners and Cool Spring during this time. I’ve always wondered if this was true. I know for a fact that General Robert Tombs spent the night on the old old Dudley Hughes plantation while fleeing Yankee troops post surrender as the Hughes place was neighbors to my families plantation at what was called Higgsville, Ga. My paternal great great grandfather Elder Dave (David) Smith owned a plantation called Hatfield Hill near Allentown. I have exhausted my personal search for any such gold. I’ve collected a few 1850s silver pieces . This is in Wilkinson County nears Balls Ferry and would have logically been on the route between Richmond and Washington Counties headed west towards Wilcox County if the roads through Macon were not used. Any thoughts or knowledge on this hypothesis and the legend? I know that almost every small southern town has some lore regarding the gold. LOL
I lived in Lincoln County Ga by the Lake, (Clark Hill Lake) near Elijah Clark state park. In my yard I had a crap ton of pine trees and one birch tree. Engraved On the birch tree were marks from the Knights of the Golden circle. The interesting fact is that this tree could not of been more than 30-40 yrs old. Back in the 1800โs where my lake house was would on been right on the Savannah river. Think about this tree fact, just shows that the KGC is alive and wellโฆโฆ

Why don’t you eastern treasure hunters learn the reverse engineered physics involved in dowsing with the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod for dowsing these gold coins from a moving vehicle, then dowse out on foot the exact center over the buried gold coins with depth buried and grade or amount of gold dowsed. Read the book, The Art of Dowsing – Separating Science from Superstition ($14.95), by Michael Fercik.

I really enjoyed this video. I’ve read Graball Rd several times, great story with plenty of documentation. Good to hear it right from the horses mouth so-to-speak. One observation is that Mr Young says the Confederacy did not produce any coinage during the Civil War. My understanding is that New Orleans, Dahlonega and Charlotte mints all produced until the supply of metals was depleted. Maybe Mr Young is saying that the treasure being discussed was all federal or Spanish coinage? But, coming from Richmond I would think that there was some Confederate coinage in there, which would make the treasure extremely valuable due to the rarity. Another question is wouldn’t (some of) the robbers have taken Graball Rd to the ferry and across the Savannah River to escape? I would think that whole route would be worth checking out, not just for treasure but all the spots where troops and travelers would camp as it was heavily traveled. There are bound to be lots of relics and possible caches along there. The bankers money and the Confederate treasury itself came and went several times between Washington GA and Abbeville SC before being robbed and disbursed. Again, great job with this!
