Isn't that the home county of John Murrell, the outlaw?

 

[Crow]

Hello Old Silver good question. I have check my records on John Murrell?

It was one his areas he visited during his life. But I would not say it belonged to him directly as the cache could of been buried in fear of him by some one else. Regardless it appears some information was passed down of it at least. Hence the 1933 newspaper article. There is also the possabilty of civil cache left by some civilian who died during the civil war?

Or even bootleg money from the 1920's prohibition Area?

Still using "where there is smoke there is fire principle" if I lived nearby and knew the spot and have free time it might be worth checking out around the excavation to see there wasn't anything missed,

Very possibly, "Where there is smoke there is a mirror principle", as well.

Of course a treasure story is only valid as the truth of such stories

I am always reminded by little things the Following story...Howard Carter who was originally an illustrator not a proper archeologist took over the site in valley of the Kings abandoned by more esteemed professional archeologists. Made the greatest discovery in history in king Tuts tomb where others believed to be barren of any more tombs.

Moral Some times an old treasure sites that has yielded results in the past may yield some more.... things that was missed.

It is same with nugget hunting site searched in 1994 using 1994 detector as per reworking the site in 2014 with a newer 2014 detector than pentrates deeper into ground. Old known treasure sites with better technolgy can still yield results.

Based on the date, maybe an oblique reference to the Brentwood cache?

This was in southern middle tennessee along a route taken by the Union & Confederate troops.The Cherokee Indian leads me to believe it was not related to the civil war.The Indians did some looting in the early 1800's and this was probably one of their stashes.
