I believe that it is very hard to use a metal detector near rail tracks. Good hunting and good luck.

The legend says the pots were buried ~100 yards off the tracks. I lived in Greensboro for 20 years and personally researched this story, and walked the tracks. Darren (OP) is right, it's a hoax.

Best of luck to those seeking this treasure.

My device isn't affected by iron in rr tracks. We coved the whole distance of the rr tracks between the two towns mentioned. Nothing. Also some very good investigation revealed the guy who is written about in the story didn't exist.
