"Looking for investors thread is humours banter about getting a Grubstate to hunt treasure. The last few post are about the mysterious activities of Jesse and what happened to years of bank, stage coach, and train robberies, I posted.
Posted this account of the planned plot that is discussed on several sites on the web, on TV and in books. I was wrong about the 20,000 in coins. After rereading the article it was $200,000!!
Bob Brewer of Hatfield Arkansas just might have solved the mystery to one of the greatest lost treasures of all time. As a boy Bob would hunt the hills of western Arkansas with his great uncle "Grandpa" Ashfield." Often they would come upon a grove of trees with strange craving.Grandpa would say, "If you can figure out the markings you will find some gold." It took him years but he finally broke the code and found $200,000 in coins which silenced the sceptics.
But this is only the beginning of the story. Bob maintains that his great uncle kept a secrete. Across the country and even into Canada similar caches of treasure are hidden. Hidden by a group of conspirators bent on bringing down the established government. The intrigue involves a powerful group of Confederates and northern sympathizers known as the Knights of the Golden Circle. Influential men and even the outlaw Jessie James were committed to the cause. If Bob is right there are dozens of these treasure troves to find. Maybe near you. Bob is currently searching in Oklahoma, 80 miles from his Hatfield home. The stash is rumored to be worth $2,000,000 dollars. His story is the bases of a book: "Shadow of the Sentinel: One Man's Quest to Find the Hidden Treasure of the Confederacy" by Warren Getler and Bob Brewer. Bob is an adviser on the movie "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" with Nicolas Cage which has a similar story. Don't ignore those strange markings you come upon, they just might make you rich.
