Introduction

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

Outline

Alex Lagina joins the team with news that his father, Marty Lagina, has arranged a new boat for the search.

Alex has also arranged for Mark Holley, a marine archaeologist, to help with the underwater search.

Mark recommends using side-scan sonar to map the location of the target site accurately and then photograph it with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV). After doing that, Kevin, Mark and Al attempt to dive but Al overheats and the dive is aborted.

After some rest, the dive is resumed and they reach what they think is a boxcar. The metal detector indicates there is non-ferrous metal just under the lake bottom. After their return to the surface, Mark recommends using a sector-scan sonar to accurately map the target.

In the village of Benzonia, Brad and Jeff meet with a Civil War historian who presents them with first-hand accounts from Confederate soldiers confirming that Jefferson Davis was in possession of the Confederate treasury when he was arrested, was heading to Mexico and that Davis was escorting only a part of the Confederate treasury.
