Florida. The info I have seen says they had caches all over the east coast of fl. From the keys up to the treasure coast.

It has been claimed that they spent it as fast as the stole it.

I have heard a few locations where they say they have buried money even like 100k in gold coins that they robbed from a bank its said to be buried by lake Okeechobee, also stories of money being buried by the St Lucie inlet on a island, of course all is hearsay or stuff I read online

The Confederate treasure buried in the Everglades origin is a lost CSA Fort Meade "Cow Calvary" payment of 50 lbs of gold Cuban specie belonging to Jacob Summerlin. Treasure books and mags have expanded that amount to 1/2 ton of gold, with several variations, including the death of CSA Capt John Riley (Bless McIntosh), a successful Confederate blockade runner who lived well beyond the War of Northern Aggression.
This is covered in Legends/Swamp gold.
Many embellishments also apply to the Ashley Gang, whose getaway diver, while serving time in Raiford, told prison tales of buried loot.

ECS is right. But there is a cache buried on Cloud Mountain. Its location has been verified by several means.
Good luck.

I always wondered if Cloud Mountain is made of swamp gas.

Steve Carr is writing a book on the gang. Has detected many Ashley sites and researched much. Here is a video presentation of a talk he gave here in west palm beach. http://lakesidepointgardens.wmthost.com/030811 Steve Carr Ashley Gang Talk.MPG

I always wondered if Cloud Mountain is made of swamp gas.

Is that because of the hot air surrounding the location?

I recommend reading this book, even if just for fun.
