Slave Narratives:

"Old Major Crawley who owned what they called the Reader place on this
side of the river, four miles east of Dexter, he was supposed to have
money buried on his place. He owned it during slavery and after he died
his relatives from Mississippi come here and hired a carriage driver
named Jackson Jones. He married my second cousin. And he took 'em up
there to dig for the money, but I don't know if they ever found it. Some
people said the place was ha'nted."

I'm pretty sure that this Reader Place would have been where the Pine Bluff Arsenal is located today. So if there really was a treasure...no one's going to find it unless they're employed by the government. Bummer.
