In Nicholasville,Ky. a chest of gold coins were stolen from a bank. The coins were supposedly thrown in Kings Mill pond. They were evidently not recovered because a
local fisherman found a few along the banks in 1910.
The indians who lived in the area around Richmond burned and looted from the pioneers
who were homesteading the area for years before the army finally drove them out. They
accumulated much gold, silver, and relics , which they buried near their settlement. They never had an opportunity to retrieve them before leaving the area.
William Pettit, who lived at Alleghany Hall in the 1850's, south of Lexington, buried a large
hoard of gold coins before he passed away. He left no directions to the cache when he died.
