Georgia Native American Gold

[AU24K]

I was wondering if anyone knows of possible locations of hidden Cherokee gold?
When the Cherokee were removed(forcibly) from the north Georgia Mountains, I'm sure that they knew they couldn't take a lot with them, so they probably cached a lot away in some of the caves in the mountains in say, Lumpkin County, intending to return later and reclaim their goods. However, many died on the way to Oklahoma, known as The Trail Of Tears. And even fewer ever made it back to Georgia.
I've looked in a couple small caves with my metal detector but have come up empty.
I found the two caves while camping and hiking this summer and am always on the lookout for possible sites.
Any ideas, help or offers to join up and go look for some sites would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Good train of thought. Time, research and field search may pay off here.

There is a book that is called "Cry of the eagle" written by Forrest Wade. Look for it in the library,this book has some interesting stories about the hidden cherokee gold that your asking about.

Hi Scott!!! No, not so odd that you posted this in conjunction with my other post about this. Nice job, and good for you! The sum total of what they hid before being forcibly marched afoot to their new concentration-camp in Oklahoma is well recorded by University Of Oklahoma Press : http://www.oupress.com/documents/americanindianvol6.pdf and should get you started. But, in my opinion this is a white-washed listing, and they produced some great historically accurate books for many decades, now out of print. They Cherokkee payed a very high price to get the last laugh, though, because most of their gold mines have never been found after they left. Your geographical area search should be centered around Dahlanega, Georgia which once had a USMint, but shut down because when they left, so did the flow of gold into that mint. There are clay jars of gold-nuggets buried by them all over the Chattahootchee National Forest for instance.They made "waybills", so their descendents could retrace their steps and return to retrieve what was hidden.There are may, many local legends in all those small towns around Dahlanega attesting to this fact of them returning to try finding what was hidden following these waybills.A good trusted dowser is imperative, even mandatory in finding these.It has been done successfully many times with little to no actual research "hard evidence" type info using this methodology.Years ago, I was told by one of their pipe-carriers that I was explicitly forbidden from retrieving ANY of this gold, with a solemn/stern warning. I've honored that to this day. But, as a side-bar, their deceased chiefs know who I am, and I have gotten permission from them on a case by case basis to make certain retrievals.For the non-believers, this will mean nothing. But, fwiw, Chief Thunder Cloud gave me his blessing and permission years ago, though it was after that stern warning from the pipe-carrier.So, in a way, the pipe-carriers warning was trumped in real life. That said, life is funny. Once I was given the keys to Alli-Babba's treasures(these caches add up to TENS of BILLIONS of dollars in gold), I have not sought them out with any vigor whatsoever. Anyone may PM me regarding this subject.

Here is another link Scott: http://generalbooks.bookstore.uconn....earch/Cherokee And within that I found this for you: http://generalbooks.bookstore.uconn..../9781570030529 , which seems to be the best I found for you.This one has some potential, though: http://generalbooks.bookstore.uconn..../9780806127200 namely because it was published by them specifically, and I got a good feeling about it....fwiw. HH, Scott, and feel free to PM me anytime. ;-)
