“Wait a minute. When Sherman was making his swing up to the Carolinas some Confederates around Athens might have been bent on hiding their gold in a hole. Get yourself a metal detector and look around the foot of some suspicious looking tree lines. But I’m one to talk since I’m right near the Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield.”

We have read the stories and there are some pretty solid resources that indicate there is some Confederate gold buried around this area somewhere. Unfortunately, as far as we can tell, they did not deposit their gold onto our property. Although we have found a couple of very old horse shoes and some old nails, our metal detector has found nothing else of interest.
