About Those Gold Bars in Pennsylvania

Last month, March 28, I wrote about people looking for buried gold bars in Pennsylvania while the FBI keeps an eye on them.  Some more information:

It is thought to be between 26 to 52 gold bars, worth between $27 million and $55 million today.

They are believed to be buried at Dents Run, about 135 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.  They were en route from Wheeling, West Virginia to the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia.  It was lost around the time of the Battle of Gettysburg.

But, historians are skeptical of the story.  Most believe it to be just a 155-year-old legend.
