Yes, Steve, "Shadow of the Sentinel" which was reprinted under the new title "Rebel Gold" is probably the basic textbook for serious students of the Knights of the Golden Circle.  Brewer and Getler well-document everything that is said in their book.

Its without a doubt a fantastic book and should be read by all treasure hunters and those who love a good detective story.  Learining how the KGC built their treasure grids and how to read them is vital for finding KGC cache sites in the states as well as perhaps in Canada. As the KGC sent surveryers and caches into Canada as well. Maybe there is a cached site somewhere near Montereal as Montreal was a city built by templars who had fleed France after the leader of the templar order was burned at the stake. THe templars where said to have fleed across the Atlantic in galloens where they landed on Oak Island. Some suspect Oak island as a templar cache site. If it is, studying Oak Island symbols is vital for locating other deposits. As the KGC used the same codes as the templars and these codes where also used by the Japanese in the Philipines. Anyway, I am going on. ts a great book. You can learn lots from it.

I thought lost Confederate gold was a legend so the confederates really did have some gold they lost?

First US gold rush was in Georgia and Alabama....Not to mention there were mints in New Orleans and Dahlonega, Georgia.   (the confederacy didn't have enough gold to back all it's paper currency, but that isn't uncommon during time of war)

Hey,

  I wouldnt say it was gold they lost more like gold that was never recovered. Has anyone ever been to a empty KGC site and does anyone have any pics?


Talk to you soon

I knew they had mints. But I heard some kind of stories like the confederates had lots of gold that was moved somewhere and got stolen or they were attacked and the gold was lost or something and it sounds like this is what you were talking about but I didnt know this was true thought it was a story.

Sort of like "Kelly's Heros", huh?   

Yeah both sides have those kind of stories.  And both sides probably did lose gold, the question becomes how much is fact; how much is the result of confusing two or more different events at different locations; how much is wishful thinking; and how much is exaggeration (deliberate or otherwise)----That's where the research comes in.  And that's the real work if you're going to hunt for this kind of stuff.   The time in the field is the icing on the cake that either proves or disproves your research.

BA

(by the way, have you noticed how the losing side of most wars always seems to have lost or had stolen lots of riches?  Pick a war and check to see if I'm right or not.)

Well since I dont live close to Civil War areas I guess I wont be looking for any conferedrate or union gold. I think the real gold was in selling cheap goods to the army lots of fortunes made that way.
