    To make a long story short John Crismo was a Union soldier who led a patrol unit into Virginia (southwest Tazewell county) while on patrol they came across a mansion in a long narrow valley, it belonged to the wealthy James Grierson who at the news of war had cached his wealth. Crismo tortured and killed Grierson took his money and in the cover of night buried it near where they had camped. His military duty sent him to Texas where he was injured. Later in life never having the opportunity to return for his hidden treasure Crismo died. On his body was his diary telling of the raid on the mansion and caching the loot.

    I also couldn't find any solid evidence though research couldn't find Crismo couldn't find anything on Grierson. I'll have to find something else to look for.

I could never find any service record for John Crismo from Pennsylvania. I could never find a John Grierson in Tazewell County, Virginia. The armies and units were in the area. I also infrared the area where the treasure is mapped to be buried. There is not $180,000. in gold. Safe your time and money. You can not find what is not there!
    How do you tell if theres anything there by infrared? Trying to learn about all this stuff.

The best thing about infrared is it not only picks up on the different temperatures of the soil, it actually pentrates the ground to several feet possibley even hundreds of feet. The infrared penetrates the ground and only shows a difference in soil temperatures unless it hits silver or gold or something that it can't penetrate to readily, then it deflects back up at right angles; usually in a Southwesterly direction. This is the reflection you look for. In a green dense forest, you can see the gold or silver reflecting out of the trees like the sun shining at high noon. I don't have my notes with me right now, but the reflection you will? be looking for will be in the band of light with a copper color and being between 628 to 632 nanometers. If you need further information and I can find my notes I would be glad to share them with you. I researched and studied into this infrared only after I received an annoymous letter with a photo. The photo showed a reflection out of the trees; the man that sent it to me, told me he found 928 gold bars at this location. It was somewhere in Kansas. He did not elaborate and I did not have a return address to question him. But, it has gotten me into the realm of radiathesia. I hope to master this art someday. The infrared does work. I know there are skeptics but anything new scares a lot of people into non-believe. I myself like to check things out.
    The disturbed soil would be looser, or denser than the normal? Does the disturbed soil show red? Yellow? Blue?
    Can you really tell these things by a satelite image?
    Need all I can get on this.
