Waterloo is the name of a former town at the upriver juncture of the False River oxbow on the west bank of the Mississippi River in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, United States. Founded circa 1820, the community grew as a bustling export center for cotton and sugar cane produced in Pointe Coupee Parish.

That sounds like a lot of flour gold at $35.00 and ounce. I wonder how the parents where aware of buried gold on the property?
