    “…If this was from the 20’s or 30’s, it wouldn’t be here anymore…” I beg to differ. I have found things along old highways, farm houses, and other places where cars and homesteads once were from that era and you can find nuts and bolts that are from the 20’s and 30’s. 😂

    lol this is about my hometown. I don’t believe it but might have to suffer through it to understand people in my town better

  4. Doug Craig on March 23, 2023 at 9:19 am

  5. onlythewise1 on March 23, 2023 at 9:20 am

  6. Iaman Empoweredone on March 23, 2023 at 9:22 am

    Someone failed to write “finding the gold” into the script. How many shows did they squeeze out of this story ?

  7. wj savacool on March 23, 2023 at 9:22 am

    Here we go again! Fary tales.

  8. Jesus Segura on March 23, 2023 at 9:26 am

    Dont look in Mexico stand down now!!!!! U have no right in Mexico ill make sure of th8

  9. Nancy G on March 23, 2023 at 9:26 am

    If they find it, they should donate it to the South, where it originated.

  10. W S on March 23, 2023 at 9:27 am

    Yeah figuring out where Jefferson Davis crossed a river in Georgia is absolutely essential to finding gold at the bottom of lake Michigan lmao

  11. Thomas Gladders on March 23, 2023 at 9:27 am

    I’m always blown away how so many people will continuously watch people search for treasure unsuccessfully.

  12. Jay Wood on March 23, 2023 at 9:28 am

    why go with a detector thats only 3 feet, get a 2 box detector can go down to 8 ft

  13. Martin Price on March 23, 2023 at 9:28 am

    So. The remaining Confederate Treasury was with Davis. Meaning it was hid before his capture or the Union troops took it or some confederate went back later and got it. Sank in the swamp? Burn wagons? Look for the metal parts in about 6 inchs of top soil around the area.

  14. Richard Samaniego on March 23, 2023 at 9:28 am

    Man always leading to dead ends. That’s no proof of the gold was there

  15. worryphree on March 23, 2023 at 9:28 am

    I can’t believe ole Marty didn’t roll out the wine cart for these guys!

  16. one among on March 23, 2023 at 9:28 am

    Was the tree in Georgia that anchored the ferry even there 150 years ago? If so it would be a sapling, no?

  17. albert miller on March 23, 2023 at 9:30 am

    I live in Michigan & have seen waterways change course with every major storm. The notion that ANY Michigan waterway is unchanged over 150+ years is sheer nonsense.

  18. Randy Goldman on March 23, 2023 at 9:34 am

    Im sorry but that coin didn’t appear to be in the ground for the last 150 years

  19. Never 2bknown on March 23, 2023 at 9:36 am

    The unemployment number is inaccurate! Looks like they are just estimating from unemployment payrolls. That doesn’t measure out of work at all.

  20. Madx on March 23, 2023 at 9:36 am

    Don’t waste ur life away watching this channel

  21. Donna Porter on March 23, 2023 at 9:37 am

    I live on the Pearl Rier in Mississippi, And like the seasons of time, It changes a little each day with the current slowley ripping the banks away. On the good side of this , We got good catfishing.

  22. Chico Rodriguez on March 23, 2023 at 9:37 am

    Thay find it I remember when this happened

  23. David Matousek on March 23, 2023 at 9:39 am

    Ok when i was a kid,my buddys dad who is french canadian told me a story simmular to this,but the wagon of gold was barried some place or was claimed to be,around Hillsdale MI

  24. The Artist on March 23, 2023 at 9:40 am

    This show is all smoke and mirrors and that is fine but the fact that they somehow dragged the guy that runs the Museum into the smoke and mirrors is a great example of how today nothing can be trusted.

  25. virgil lasher on March 23, 2023 at 9:40 am

    gary is awsome he is the man

  26. John Farmer on March 23, 2023 at 9:41 am

  27. Eric Van Eck on March 23, 2023 at 9:42 am

  28. Robert Presha on March 23, 2023 at 9:45 am

    Holly s..t.

  29. brian massey on March 23, 2023 at 9:45 am

    If you truely want to know the biggest mystery back then look at the Fore Fathers of Religion. The Nation was created by religious men in their beliefs. Religion beliefs taught a person how to except all behaviors of men and to choose a greater enactment of trial by error. Do you see what was really going on here??? The nation had not shaped into a better place until our behaviors changed either by learning from mistakes to make better choices due to learning a better belief system in learning how to function better being around each other. This unity of belief system is still being used today. Religion is what molds a person’s behavior to seeing things better by doing all things better due to learning better values from experiences and religion teaches this from the beginning what to except in life and what not to except bc of the behavior of men to doing better things or to succeed from makeing better choices due to learning from experiences throughout life.

    So, you want Gold? Get a good job. Don’t blow your money on vacations and stupid stuff. Save it, then go to a reputable coin shop and buy 1 ounce of Gold every time you save up enough.

  31. fredrick neely on March 23, 2023 at 9:48 am

    The gold has already been found in Starkville Mississippi I know the location

  32. Dollie Doty on March 23, 2023 at 9:49 am

    Bla.bla bla

  33. Mark T Keend on March 23, 2023 at 9:49 am

    You know , I think Kevin was reincarnated and he is getting his share of the booth, what do you all think?

  34. Mark T Keend on March 23, 2023 at 9:50 am

    Oh, I know some Minty people, not sure I spelt it rihht.

  35. Shawn Revelle on March 23, 2023 at 9:52 am

    Well the book from the museum is cutting a secret, it mean not handwriting. Someone already know a real handwriting, before print a book. I think someone found a treasure and hide it a secret somewhere. They think they are at Georgia and Michigan. Probably it missing or gone.

  36. Jeffrey Riley on March 23, 2023 at 9:52 am

    Interesting how often Confederate Gold seems to sink.

  37. Beeps & Eat's Finding food & treasure on March 23, 2023 at 9:52 am

    Well if oak island is any clue to the success of this show. I’d say let’s just all meet up and go metal detecting! It’s fun and way better than watching this.👍🎧✌️

  38. richard coughlan on March 23, 2023 at 9:54 am

    More like some random person dropped a coin once. Lol. They are delusional if they think that one coin is evidence of treasure!

  39. Judy Mcpheron on March 23, 2023 at 9:56 am

    Interesting.

  40. April in the Sunshine on March 23, 2023 at 9:56 am

    My family lore has always said 2 brothers, one being my great great grandfather, had a part of the gold. Both were CSA soldiers. The gold sat by the fireplace until the one brother took off with the gold, not my line, and used it to build up his life. That side of the family is known as the rich side while my grandmother’s family was just plain farmers. Brothers were both sir name of Thomas. I just wonder if it’s truth or rumor. But sure the truth is somewhere in there. One side got rich the other didnt… the rich line was out of GA.

  41. Andrew Selvia on March 23, 2023 at 9:56 am

    I have three confederate coins that my grandpa won in a poker game from an old Indian in the u.p.

  42. Jonny Novak on March 23, 2023 at 9:58 am

    The N.S.A has sattiltes that can find gold from space . I bet they had Navy Seals haul that Gold from the lake and used the money to fund False Flag terror attacks .

  48. Josh Maxwell on March 23, 2023 at 10:09 am

    I bet Morgan’s Raiders hid some booty somewhere.

    I recall they found railroad tracks that go beside the shore of lake MI old and burried several feet below sand. Tracks used to load a traincar onto a ship ( that sunk with gold). Anyways thats the way the show goes
