Bergdoll's Initials and Arrow on Tree May Be Key to Hidden Treasure

(In addition to the article found at this link, other stories claim that in 1921 Grover Cleveland Bergdoll and his brother Erwin were still on the run trying to avoid Federal authorities who were anxious to prosecute them for draft evasion during WWI. While staying at a hotel in Hagerstown, they had allegedly received $150,000 in gold coins as payment for some illicit activity, $110,000 of which was buried in 5 valises "as heavy as lead" somewhere in the area. One source says the hoard was cached to the S. of Hagerstown in the general vicinity of Harper's Ferry. Others believe it is located just south of Brownsville, somewhere along Hwy. 67)

Hello Arkhunter, I am from Md and am coming over to Arkansas in mid April. Was wondering if you could give me any clues where I can detect?

I have camped ay Harpers Ferry and near Hagerstown, lots of back woods land inbetween. Lots of Civil War troops passed through there also. I hope someone finds it. The Union Troops Guarded that rail road track line along route 70 all the way out to Cumberland. Don't detect the National Park areas.
