So the story goes a little like this two men found gold I think it was in washington nc. in 1930. inspected the gold and found it was from the 1700's. and decide to bring it to Pamlico sound and hide in in a cypress grove one of the men died of a fever. the other went back to retrieve the gold and noticed the Pamlico river near the mouth where the gold was buried had changed and swollen getting rid of the cypress grove due to floods and over time rain that eroded the banks. he searched for a few days and never recovered the gold. does anyone know more about this?
