CONFEDERATE GOLD IN DANVILLE, VA.

Franklin,Im so impressed that you have this much knowledge,wished I had started earlier to know all this information. That's good that you could narrow it down to 20 miles. That gives me at least something to think about! I've live in Martinsville, Danville, Axton, Pittsylvania county, so I know the area very well!
 

In a way I wished I had never learned about this treasure story, my mother just told me I was mentally unstable that's why I don't even talk to my family members! LOL But I just love history! I just would like to prove them wrong!

"Prove them wrong"...?
 

Prove us all wrong and find all the treasures and sent pictures.
 

Maybe this third treasure was left somewhere near on the railroad tracks! I was thinking that would be easy to transport all this treasure. The treasure train made like five stops on the way here.So maybe in that direction?
 

Ever hear that tale of iron pots filled with gold coins with lids wired shut buried along railroad tracks by the Confederates?
 

No but that sounds like a good idea! But I have read someone found a pot full of treasure, right outside of Danville in North Carolina when the farmer found the pot when he was plowing a field!
 

# 249. I am sure that it would be very hard to find buried treasures near railroad tracks with a metal detector. Best of luck doing it.
 

There probably would be some kind of clue that would help you! A tree or some other landmark!
 

The bluebellies do not need to know! Anybody found out any good clues yet! I've left a few!

That was near McLeansville between Burlington, N.C. and Greensboro, N.C. The old fellow took the $20. gold pieces and sold them for ten cents each. Others went to see where he was plowing and found the imprint of three large kettles. The old black guy only got a hand full. The landowner became very rich. There are other reports of pots of gold being found along these railroad tracks. However, landowners will call the cops on you within five or ten minutes of you stopping your car along the road or the railroad. Some have given trespassing tickets out to a hundred or more that have dug on their property. The landowners even have signs and billboards warning you about how many have been caught trespassing and the fines they have paid. Not a good area to look around unless you happen to know any of the landowners and can get their permission.
 

Franklin, do you believe that this gold, had anything to do with the treasury that left Richmond or an ordinary stash?
