In the late 1800s, a group of Confederate soldiers hid a large cache of gold in Lake Michigan. For over a century, there have been periodic reports of divers finding gold coins and bars in the lake. However, no one has been able to definitively prove that the gold is from the Confederate cache.<\/p>\n

No, they didn’t.<\/p>\n

Where was the Confederate gold found? <\/h2>\n

The lawsuit alleges that the Justice Department has failed to produce documents that would shed light on the FBI’s search for the legendary gold. The search took place nearly four years ago at a remote woodland site in northwestern Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

The story of the Union soldiers tracking down Confederate president Jefferson Davis and confiscating his gold is a fascinating one. It is said that the stolen loot was smuggled north some years later but ended up in Lake Michigan, where Dykstra believes it still remains. This is an interesting tale and it would be great to know if the gold is still out there somewhere waiting to be found.<\/p>\n
