Here is one I came up with a old town called Cotton Gin Port..

"The old Mayfield Hotel was one of the last of the Cotton Gin Port buildings to be torn down. The building was torn down in the 1950s, and a cache of Confederate money was discovered hidden in the walls. "

Just a little to late.

Site may still have something...

Where's Cotton Gin Port? We could go there and split whatever is found.

turns out this site is a historic site, so I guess it is off limits, but I'm coming up with a couple more leads...

 

[insider]

Sounds good, PM, or e-mail me with something good. I just learned of a very good lead in 'Bama, and a link to a good gold sight.

Mississippi treasures waiting to be found

The Pirate's House near Bay St. Louis is said to offer obvious possibilities including the finding of underground tunnels facilitating the clandestine transfer of gold and silver from shore to the house.
The treasure of merchant Gaines is said to have been hidden in Greene County, and although quite a bit of it was recovered in the late nineteenth century, much remains undiscovered

At Pass Christian in Harrison County the old oak tree beneath which Captain Dane is supposed to have buried $200,000 may not still be there, but the treasure near it has never been discovered. The money, in Spanish-American gold coins, belonged to a lady passenger of the Nightingale, who in the aftermath of a love triangle, was locked in a cabin when the ship sank. Great material for a novel, it would seem!
The Copeland gang looted the Bay St. Louis area in the early nineteenth century and buried their treasure in Catahoula Swamp.
