During the American Revolution 20 chests and kegs of gold, silver, jewels,
and other valuables buried by British General Cornwallis, are
buried somewhere on the banks of Abbotts Creek just east of Lexington.
Source Buried Treasures You Can Find by Robert F. Marx etc.
On the TV show Unsolved Mysteries two amateur treasure hunters who had
spent nearly $25,000 where in the process of recovering this treasure at a base
of a cliff which the British army had gun powdered to cover up the treasure.
I had written to the Librarian at Lexington who informed me after a lengthy research
that the only treasure tale she could find was a poem written that tells how the mysterious
lights down in the swamp are the soldiers of Cornwallis guarding his treasure.
I guess the 25k boys where way out of their league. All treasure hunts begin with a
35 cent stamp
