This is a book about two men that have searched a lifetime for the "Lost Confederate Gold." Each of us started our quest at an early age. I, myself; I started when I was five years old in 1959. At first, I was interested in just finding coins. After a rainstorm I would go out and search the ground where rainwater had run off the roof of our home thereby cutting a deep ditch into the grass. I was rewarded with a few pennies or even a nickel. My partner, Edward "Bubba" Powers started when he was only eight years old. While searching around an old home he found snuff cans containing silver dollars. We both took separate paths researching and searching for lost treasures. Along about 1996, J. Frank Carroll, a Danville, Virginia native wrote a book entitled, "Confederate Gold in Danville." I bought Mr. Carroll's book on New Year's Eve 1997. Edward Powers, or Bubba as he likes to be called, he and I brushed each other in meetings with J. Frank Carroll and while searching for the Confederate Gold. We were never introduced, and rumors were spread by J. Frank Carroll to keep us from meeting one another. Later, on March 3, 2008, J. Frank Carroll passed away. I searched on the Internet and was able to get Bubba's phone number. I called to let him know about J. Frank Carroll's passing away. We talked for over an hour and on this self-same day, even though 125 miles separated our homes, we became partners searching for the "Lost Confederate Gold." This story, is how we did that, what we learned, what we found, and what is left to be found...
