Ok. In my research I found a story about a retired Scottish pirate. He bought a farm somewhere around Warrenton and new Baltimore. Snow hill farm 400 acres in 1760. He buried 6 casks containing $10,000 worth of whatever. The farmers name is William Kirk, whom died in 1779( I found in courthouse documents his will was filed in Faquier county May 3rd 1779) he left the farm and $60,000 in currency to his wife. Some years later a poor farmer working the land found a cask, quite and bought his own farm and equipment to the tune of roughly $10,000. The rest was never found. Now I also found a book titled Virginia Ghosts (jenny lee and marguerite du pointlee) which tells a story about Snow Hill farm being haunted a couple locals Aleck Smith, and George Grey found the farm but were chased away by the ghost of William Kirk.
The farm was sold to a col. William Edmonds. Don't know the year.
Now the poor farmer that found the first cask, don't know his name just that somewhere around 1870 this tenant farmer found the cask giving a small amount to Edmonds grandson whom still owned the farm keeping the majority of the find (Spanish silver and gold) for himself.
I can't find where the farm was, and have incomplete information at best.
