'Curse of Civil War Gold' team finds gold bars linked to a $140 million treasure
The TV Show "Curse of Civil War Gold" team finds possible gold bars linked to a $140 million treasure. After 8 years of research into a legend of a boxcar full of gold, possibly tied to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
According to the History Channel, Confederate president Jefferson Davis was apprehended and his gold stolen in 1865. Then the treasure was smuggled North only to end up in Lake Michigan.
A lighthouse watchman made a deathbed confession about a boxcar full of gold being deliberately pushed into Lake Michigan from a ferry in the 1890s.
Team leader and business partner with Marty Lagina, Kevin Dykstra headed to Frankfort, Michigan. Kevin hired professional diver Mike Nelson to look into a specific site in Lake Michigan.
The site is across from the Frankfort Lighthouse. The location includes a structure, debris fields, and a large structure matching the description of a 19th Century Boxcar. The possible boxcar is 11 feet by 7 feet. The original boxcar is 36 feet by 7 feet. Dykstra believes the boxcar may have exploded on impact.
The episode ended with a video of rectangular-shape bars that shimmered.
The Curse of Oak Island is on 7pm-8pm Mountain Standard Time on the History Channel.
