I can’t even imagine the cursing and yelling that was going on that day they were asked to sit in their car and wait. They may have been naive in the beginning, but I’m sure they knew at that point they were getting bamboozled.
There can be no justification whatsoever for forcing them to wait in the car over 160 year old buried anything. There will be no one to prosecute, no national security implications. Nothing. This is F Troop at it again. They are covering something up.
These guys are far from naive, they did not stumble upon this treasure. They knew how to find and follow the markers that still exist in order to find it. Rebel Gold or one of his names was Jessie James go into some details about the markers.
For anyone interested the Nashville cache has never been found. Some of the markers still exist for the Nashville cache, but from what I understand the sherif runs of treasure hunters in the area most believe it to be.
