Need some help finding information on some Confederate gold.

[Whittybarber707]

Hello I came across this story on a few websites and was wondering if any one could provide any more information. Below is a the statements.

Missouri Treasure Tales
Yet another tale is that of the Confederate raider, Colonel Porter, who buried $30,000 in gold coins and silverware somewhere close to the village of Lanton. He was killed while fleeing from Union soldiers after he buried the treasure and it was never found.

Thank you,
