Heard a story quit a few years ago about some kids finding buried pirate treasure on one of the islands north of Harrisburg. Never found out any facts about it.

Only one I heard of was a chest found on an Island South of Danville
by some Men digging leeks or something ?
& was supposedly filled with strange coins they never saw before

This post is getting a little old but I know of people finding gold in the river, its flour gold they call it. There was a man who had a small floating suction system and he was finding flour gold. Lots ofhard work, but yes there is gold in the river

If it flattens but stays together like soft metal would, it's Gold.

If it shatters & turns to Dust or flakes, It's not
