Hello, i was at my mechanics yesterday shop and heard a story that was very interesting. About the son looking for his fathers hidden gold cannon. The story was that the father found a very heavy object on his farm and when gotten all to the surface was a cannon, after closer inspection relized it was solid gold. He hid the cannon away from his home in a cave that he told his wife. When needed money the father would walk to the cave a cut a chunk off a melt inside his shop, so you could not tell what it came off, and then sold . The son remembers his father doing this when he was a kid but had no idea that it was gold he was melting down. The father when going to the cave would always walk in a different direction every time so it would not reveil which was the right direction. The father has passed away now for some time and told no one where the location was, not even his wife, but she knew about the cannon and that was all. The mother told her grown son about it and now is looking for it. Hes has done about a 1/12 mile circle around his house, and on other peoples propetery and let them know if any finds, will split the wealth. The son did bring some left over chunks to my mechanic that was left over in a box to show him, he said it was heavy and did look like gold. This would make a great History channel show, like the one that doing now with the cilvil war gold bars in Lake Mich.
I live in Caroline county,Va and the mechanic said the area hes searching in is in Spotsyvania VA. County.
PS sorry for all my grammer and mis spellings and once i heard this story yesterday i went home to a google search and indeed saw something about a gold cannon and thought this would be a great lead for some one. Thanks Robert
