English Gold coins?

[panama]

Anyone know anything about this:

Seven pony loads of English gold coins worth $100,000 were buried by the Seminole Indians in 1818. The money was from the British for their support against the American colonies. The indians were being pursued by Andrew Jackson and lightened their load while trying to escape. The site selected was at a swamp know as old Yarbor Pond, also called the money pit, just north of hwy 2 and northeast of the junction of hwy 2 and the Chattahoochee river on Carter's Mill Creek. They say it has never been found.

Anyone ever heard this story and possibly know more?

Keep me posted if you find any more information. I have a story I am researching on the British period in Florida. Although 1818 is a long time after this period of 1784 . Attached is a picture I took at a Reenactment.
