They were buried under the huge live oaks in the garden.

Two that come to mind in Tensas Parish in Louisiana are the Frisbe Plantation and Hard Time Plantations. The Hardtime was probably the wealthest plantation in the South to be burned to the ground during war. The owners were not home at the time and all possesions were lost. The Frisbe was not burned during the war but Colonel Frisbe buried all his gold and silver during the war. He was killed right after in a knife fight with his brother-in-law and the treasure was never recorded as being found.

J. Villere plantation. I bet it is reachable, and loaded with relics. But not easy to get to and heavy brush. Almost see impressions using google earth, but dont know how to do map overlays.
Don't know what you're trying to do Frankn, but Mods don't like it.

Villere would be a great spot to hunt, there was a short battle there, and the British camped there so it should be full of good stuff. I'm not sure if it's a protected site or not, but there's got to be places around it that are huntable. I'd sure like to give it a try.

Thought I read they used (took) the plantation for 2 or 3 years. Nice place for the brass to hang their hats in the swamp, I'm sure. I'll go back and read again. My retaintion rate at 54 yrs old, is down in the lower 40's now! LOL

Frankn, posts are moved to the appropriate forums. You posts on caches were moved to the cache forum, they were about cache hunting, the primary topic was cache hunting...... If they are opened in the correct forum they would not have to be moved, just like members cant start a thread about coin collections in the coin roll hunting forums.

It is not just your threads, other threads when they are found in the wrong forums are moved to the correct forum....You can't just start a thread in what ever forum you think it will get the most hits in, there has to be some kind of organization to the threads here, it has been this way since before I first started here over 6 years ago....

Once an author writes a book, it is the book stores and library's that decides what literary section it best fits to catalog the book in...
