  2. Snails are Dumb on May 16, 2023 at 7:24 am

    Its in between stops. I guarantee they got the idea from breaking bad

  3. matthew sanders on May 16, 2023 at 7:25 am

    Not on the train but it was found around 2018 and the FEDERAL government took it from a secret location in Pennsylvania where is was buried in the ground

    It was a lie , the confederate state was broke by the time the union had taken Richmond !!! Most of the weapons & ammo were supplied by the troops themselves as in the confederate draft this was a requirement, or they would send you into battle without one !!! So the draftees sold whatever they had to get the supplies !

    I don’t like to argue! My older brother gets SO ANGRY whenever we talk about the civil war! The war had NOTHING to do with slavery nor the confederacy flag! LOOK at Lincolns writing! The worst President EVER killed our own people!

    Everybody knows it’s in a river

  7. jimmy rooks on May 16, 2023 at 7:28 am

    The Confederacy was essentially dead broke when it surrendered!πŸ™„

  8. scronx on May 16, 2023 at 7:30 am

    What business did the 7th Michigan have down there to begin with? That’s never been logically explained.

  9. Rose Mallett on May 16, 2023 at 7:31 am

    This is very important

  10. Evan Fussell on May 16, 2023 at 7:32 am

    There was hardly anything left by the end m.

  11. Sean Sean on May 16, 2023 at 7:32 am

    How’s fort Knox BTW?

  12. Other Mike on May 16, 2023 at 7:33 am

    It was never loaded on the train..

  13. Dennis Settlemyre on May 16, 2023 at 7:34 am

    That’s cool. I never knew anything really about the Michigan (My State) brigade doing anything significant. They caught the Confederate President. I can’t believe I missed that when I’ve always heard that he was caught disguised in his wife’s clothes. Idk if that’s true or not, but I’ve heard that story most of my life.

  14. Stephen Smith on May 16, 2023 at 7:37 am

    Agh!!! Fooke !! Pity that they didn’t catch the c..tsπŸ€”πŸ˜–πŸ˜‰

  15. Tom Truther on May 16, 2023 at 7:37 am

    Theives

  16. Rafael Ramos on May 16, 2023 at 7:45 am

    Probably this never happened the CSA was broke and the treasure might be just a leyend

  17. piotrsurf68 on May 16, 2023 at 7:46 am

    The story is on the History channel. It follows kidnapped and abandoned locomotive. The bank with connection to western mines where the gold was washed as a find. And the footage of finds on the bottom of Lake Michigan. And what it turned out to be after waiting for permits. The world hasn’t changed that much.

  18. peter on May 16, 2023 at 7:48 am

    I know it wasn’t . He stole it.

  19. Felixuchies on May 16, 2023 at 7:49 am

    Imagine there’s some good ol southern boys hoarding that gold in case the union turns tyrannical and ripe for revolution

  20. Hadi Abouzir on May 16, 2023 at 7:50 am

    Get me Nicholas cage now…..

  21. MEME CANNON πŸ’₯ on May 16, 2023 at 7:50 am

    Jefferson Davis only had a few dollars and was dressed like a woman

  22. riptaway on May 16, 2023 at 7:52 am

    Never was any money. Confederates probably didn’t have two nickels to rub together by the end

  23. Peder-Willem Gertsen on May 16, 2023 at 7:53 am

    Maybe, just maybe, the treasure was not so great by that point in time. A long protracted war, especially one you are on the loosing side of, will do that to a treasury.
    Additionally, if you still have a vast treasury left at the end of a loosing war, what does that say about your commitment to winning the war?

  24. fart gander on May 16, 2023 at 7:53 am

    Where is it now?

  25. Marg Yeoman on May 16, 2023 at 7:54 am

    They spent it. 🫣

  26. Ralph Reagan on May 16, 2023 at 7:55 am

    As a descendant of the last person in charge of the Confederate treasury, I can say it didn’t show up in our family.

  27. Tim Burns on May 16, 2023 at 7:56 am

    The DEMOCRATS are still spending that money

  28. Joe Wynne on May 16, 2023 at 7:58 am

    And that’s why the south is doing so well? No, a bunch of ex-Confederate generals stole it and divided it up for their personal enrichment.

  29. Lenny Johnson on May 16, 2023 at 8:00 am

    Sounds like the current administration same antics

  30. Willie Ford on May 16, 2023 at 8:01 am

    WHEN JD WAS CAPTURED HE WAS DRESSED AS A WOMAN

  31. Creek Walker Homestead on May 16, 2023 at 8:03 am

    Abbeville, South Carolina is a good place to start looking.

  32. Richard Sang on May 16, 2023 at 8:03 am

    Most likely the gold had never left Richmond, the confederate must know that there are many spy and Union sympathisers in Richmond, to transport so much gold through rail, the risk would be too high. Best strategy is to use the train as decoy, buried the gold, and smuggle it out through under ground network when tension becomes more favourable to the confederate.

  33. Dick Deadeye sez on May 16, 2023 at 8:04 am

    When captured, you forgot to mention, he was disguised as a woman.

  34. Larry Thurman sr. on May 16, 2023 at 8:05 am

    Hope they never find it long live the SOUYH,

  35. Victor Barbeau on May 16, 2023 at 8:05 am

    As greedy as men are, I bet the treasure has been spent on women, booze and the rest gambled away…

  36. Matthew Gauthier on May 16, 2023 at 8:06 am

    Sure all that was spent long ago.

  37. Ronald Edson on May 16, 2023 at 8:07 am

    Gen Toombs daughters were General Sherman’s concubines, that is why it was not burned down. Washington, Ga.

  38. Rose Mallett on May 16, 2023 at 8:09 am

    The gold was originally taken off Indian land, the gov was put in charge of the Cherokee gold

  39. Joseph Brown on May 16, 2023 at 8:11 am

    It was found and stolen by the commanding and executive officers. Then transported to a western mine, remelted and stamped. Then transported to Michigan where it lies at the bottom of Lake Michigan. Watch the search for civil war gold show with the same guys from the curse of oak island.

  40. queasy lagumo on May 16, 2023 at 8:12 am

    My wife’s family on her father’s side lived in Danville, VA. The last capital of the Confederacy.

  41. Harriet Jarmon on May 16, 2023 at 8:14 am

    Sounds like the making of another National Treasure movie! Anybody seen Ben and Riley?

  42. Maurice Upp on May 16, 2023 at 8:14 am

    You just got to know what the path of the river was when they threw it off the train bridge

  43. Nick Cifuno on May 16, 2023 at 8:14 am

    Bullshit

  44. Shirtless on May 16, 2023 at 8:15 am

    There was no Confederate gold. Confederate currency was worthless.

  45. DONTUO Harris on May 16, 2023 at 8:17 am

    It never left Richmond, it’s buried in a cave on the bank of the James river…

  46. hbwblacksmithing on May 16, 2023 at 8:19 am

    DEO VINDIC

  47. I am Just saying on May 16, 2023 at 8:19 am

    I bet Judah Benjamin took it.

  48. Ray on May 16, 2023 at 8:19 am

    Given the inflation rate for the CSA, the "riches" of the south, are about as exaggerated to the same mythic portions as the myth of the lost cause.

  49. Scott Dewitt on May 16, 2023 at 8:20 am

    Hackley got it and built Muskegon Michigan.

  50. Nathan Reed on May 16, 2023 at 8:21 am

    Wasn’t Jefferson Davis captured in drag while trying to flee Richmond
