Sorry, not believing there were “nine tons of gold” to begin with.
Imagine how many wagon are needed to transport that much gold?
And the men to do it?
Secrets are hard to keep and government secrets are the worst to keep quite about.
Another wide eyed wild goose chase.

Why would gold be in NE PA and the mint is in Philadelphia? Most gold in that era was shipped by sea from California. The rebel gold story is also ridiculous. The CSA had very little gold. That was why they had to print so much paper money.
