Introduction

The Curse of Civil War Gold is a non-fiction series about American Civil War history on History Channel.

Outline

The team decides to focus on how the missing gold got from Georgia to Muskegon, Michigan.

Kevin believes that Benjamin Pritchard and Colonel Robert Minty turned to Charles Hackley for assistance and they arranged for a rail line to be constructed.

The rail line was only used for 2 years so Kevin and Al fly over the area to see if they can find it. They see what appears to be the buried train tracks and later scan the area with ground penetrating radar finding anomalies that may be train tracks. Down the beach, a large anomaly is found. Meanwhile, Fred Monroe examines old negatives of the area.

He finds one that shows the train tracks. Back at the beach, a local Elks Lodge member shows the team some railroad spikes that he found in the area, and a photo showing an old locomotive in the water. Kevin suspects this may be a stolen locomotive used to transport the missing gold.

Kevin arranges for a group of people to dig the beach. Water stops them exposing the locomotive or tracks but Kevin is able to dig down and touch metal objects.
