Question: Where is the lost Confederate gold rumored to be hidden?

Answer: After the fall of Richmond in 1865, Confederate Treasury and bank funds were moved south. In Washington, Georgia, a wagon train carrying $425,000 in gold and silver was robbed by ex-Confederates. About $110,000 was recovered, but over $100,000 remains missing, possibly hidden in Wilkes County, Georgia.
