Lost Confederate Gold, Tallassee, Alabama

[Pistolero]

Hello all,
Any of y'all ever read or hear of the Confederates escorting $250,000.00 in gold to the east coast in 1864 being attacked about two miles east of Tallassee, Alabama near or crossing a little creek? While they fought the commander detailed a couple of men to hide the gold. The Confederates got away or won or what have you but the men who hid it had been killed. It was never recovered. The only clues were that it was buried right at a sharp bend in the creek near a split rail fence. Anyone ever hear of it? It sure would be neat to find that gold?
Take care,
Pistolero
Millbrook, Al..

There's a book out called " Confederate Gold" I haven't read it but it may give some clues
as to what you are metnioning. It would be cool to find hidden gold from that eara in time.

pistelero, everyone knows that confedereate gold was made and distributed throughout the south, and some stories about hidden treasure are real. but where did the money come from? there weren't many mints in the south east. you might wanna check this one out.
