I'm currently working on a story that follows two friends who stumble upon a captivating Confederate treasure map. The twist is that they have absolutely no knowledge or experience in the realm of treasure hunting. Their lack of expertise becomes a significant obstacle throughout their journey and leads to various complications and challenges. I've chosen the northwest Atlanta area, encompassing Marietta, Kennesaw, Acworth, and nearby locations, as the backdrop for their adventure.

In order to make the story engaging and relatable, I'm aiming to blend factual elements with a touch of drama and flair, reminiscent of a "poor man's National Treasure" vibe. However, I would greatly appreciate your assistance in suggesting general locations or local legends that could be woven into the narrative. Furthermore, any insights or ideas on how their lack of treasure-hunting knowledge could hinder them and create problems along the way would be immensely helpful. Thank you kindly for your support!

Thank you, but unfortunately, AI seems it does not like to speculate on rumors or legends about Confederate gold. I know there was some mention in the north Atlanta area, but I can't seem to narrow down the area to come up with some locations.

Hi toguspyder, fellow author here from Roswell, GA. I wrote a mystery thriller called Map of Thieves that is set here in Georgia. Has Confederate history, action-adventure, treasure hunt scenario, Cherokee Indian legend, sex, violence, all the good qualities for a Rated-R movie. ;-). That's a fiction book. 2nd in my series.

However, I have searched for – and we FOUND - treasure coins and relics from the famous Confederate treasure wagon train robbery that occurred on the night of May 25, 1865 on the Moss Plantation up in the Graball, GA area. We spent two years under contract with the private owner. Our pieces are now in the Washington, GA museum on display. We did find silver, but no gold, damnit!! Still, we think it's the first recorded discovery on this specific incident that has gone public. Almost every other treasure hunter goes to the wrong spot – the Chenault House – based on 'misinformation.' We debunked that easily. I'll be doing a podcast interview soon with various media to discuss this treasure hunt. And really some day I need to write a book on it.

Here's the PDF of our story. It's also posted on TreasureNet too under its own topic where you can see the treasure we found: https://www.treasurenet.com/threads/lost-confederate-treasure-announcement.671663/

But, I'd love to offer some help if I could, depending on my time, as I run my own business. http://www.karpovagecreative.com/
