Near the forks of the Mule Creek and Okapilco Creek, it has been said that French explorers buried 2700 pounds of pure silver during the late 1700’s.

In a cache somewhere close to Kingsland, legend has it that Union troops were said to have buried upwards of two million in gold and silver coins in 1865.

Savannah alone is said to hold millions of dollars in buried treasure. Due to the fact that prior to the arrival of Sherman’s troops, the citizens of Savannah buried their valuables, and when the city fell into ruin most of the treasures simply could not be relocated.

It has been said that Confederate President Jefferson Davis buried roughly $10 million in gold bullion throughout the area of Washington located in Wilkes County.

Approximately 2 miles south of Little River, legend has it that a plantation owner by the name of Jeremiah Griffin buried $100,000 in gold along the banks of a small creek. Griffin died in 1847 and never revealed exactly where the treasure.

It has been said that upwards of $100,000 in gold was buried during the Civil War. Supposedly buried about 300 yards northeast of the Nashville, Chattanooga, and St. Louis Railroad tracks, deep in a hollow close to a spring on the Cobb County area of the Chattahoochee River, and “not far” from the old Marietta Road, close to Marietta.

no reports of any of it ever being found.
 
Chunk: Wait a minute...

Chunk: If he (One Eyed Willie) killed all his men, how did the map or the story get out?

Mikey: My dad said one of the guys must have gotten out with the map. -

Chunk: Hey, Mikey, I believe you.
