Archer wrote that he also spoke with a journalist who had done extensive research on a Civil War-era group called the Knights of the Golden Circle. The KGC, Archer wrote, was a secret society of Confederate sympathizers that had purportedly \u201cburied secret caches of weapons, coins, and gold and silver bullion, much of which was stolen from robberies of banks, trains carrying payroll of the Union Army during the Civil War and from northern army military posts, in southern, western and northern states.\u201d<\/p>\n

Archer said that a turtle carving found on a rock near the proposed dig site was \u201cvery likely \u2026 a KGC marker for that site.\u201d<\/p>\n

Archer wasn\u2019t able to confirm the U.S. Mint had actually missed any expected shipments of gold because the Mint did not have records for the Civil War period, the affidavit said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Or maybe not.<\/p>\n
