Hello everyone. I have not posted or hunted in 2012.
If you don't know, yes, I am one of those fools who still believes in the hidden confederate gold cache legends, lol.
Y'all how about my friend bought us a house down in Selma, AL. Y'all......I am 2 doors down from the SMITH-QUARLES PLANTATION!!!!! I'm in the car FREAKING OUT!!!

If you don't know, the story is that the general was also the banker and hid the banks gold in the columns of the plantation so it wouldn't get seized by the union.
Now....the legend is that there were several caches of gold hidden aroumd Selma. Specifically the caches that were not recovered were the Alabama River caches (in the event that Selma were to fall, that was the escape plan). 2 were buried somewhere along the river bank. 2 were being moved down river, 1 was recovered and the other went missing with a slave. The location of the other 2 have remained unknown because they killed the slave who had the cache they recovered. There was also a woman in the family who went "missing" along with a 2nd large cache of gold. They covered this up by saying she died but her grave is empty. It is unknown where she went.
Anyway....Im ready to get back in the game.
Oh....no treasure was found in our house, lol. It was built after reconstruction (1900) and the only thing of interest was the criminal case files (lawyer lived there) from the 40s: there was a lot of people being prosecuted for passing bad checks and illegal distilleries, and passing phoney scripts for drugs
