Lost Mines and Buried Treasures of Tennessee

Tennessee's tales of treasure come from a multitude of sources:
Indians mining silver for jewelry and ornaments, outlaws burying
stolen loot, lost and hidden Civil War payrolls, personal
wealth buried and never to be retrieved, and much more. Like
most legend and lore, these stories arose from actual historical
events. In time, they were relegated to the back pages of history
books and obscure journals and then largely forgotten. Over the
years, however, the tales were rediscovered by intrepid researchers
as well as the curious. Many attempted to find the lost mines
and the buried treasures. A number of them succeeded, but
many more remain to be found.
