Confederate Gold refers to the hidden caches of gold lost after the
Civil War, or as more locally known : The War of Northern Aggression.
Millions of dollars worth of gold was lost or unaccounted for after the
war and has been the speculation of many historians and treasure hunters.
Some of the treasure was hidden in order to wait for the re-rising of the
south and at other times simply so that the Union would not gain
possession. Many of the treasures hidden were purportedly done so by the
still elusive, Knights of the Golden Circle.
A treasure of 600 oz. in gold bullion is located somewhere East of Punta
Gorda FL, buried by Captain John Riley. He was attempting to ship it to
Cuba in 1865, but was chased down by Union troops. It is rumored locally
that the last confederate dragged the chest and himself into a bog.
Another 85,000 oz was buried in the face of a Union advance. The gold
was stamped Confederate States of America treasury and was on route from
Texas to England and France for safekeeping. Rumors are that the gold was
buried under the name of a confederate general in a cemetery. Other rumors
state the gold was moved to a depository in Atlanta.
