So in 1974, he was working in a furniture store and metal detecting on weekends...and voila...but never produced even an ounce of gold...not a flake....not a nugget...just a reference in a book of buried civil war gold.

We have a story of gold in one of our water ways, too...

“Of course the government has the treasure!” I’ve heard that the first thing Uncle Sam does when invading a country is head to its central bank vaults and remove (i.e., steal) the gold. I wonder if it’s true . . .

here is a conspiracy theory. Most of the missing civil war gold was laundered through fake gold mines during the gold rush that happened in the years after the gold rush.

First rule of finding gold. Don’t talk about finding gold.

I don't understand why that concept is so difficult for some people to comprehend.

I would think that something needs to be admitted/announced in order to give reason as to why you suddenly have this gold/money.
