Introduction

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

Outline

Kevin, Al and Brad meet with Rob Proctor, the great-great-grandson of Benjamin Pritchard.

He shows them artifacts that had been taken from Jefferson Davis when he was captured and confirms that he has heard rumours of tunnels and gold under the Pritchard house.

After visiting the local museum, they inspect the Pritchard house. In the basement, Kevin notes that an area of the floor is brick while the rest is concrete, which he views as suspicious. While Gary Drayton metal detects the ground, GPR is used in the basement.

Gary and Brad find a nail, a belt buckle, and a Confederate coin while in the basement, the GPR indicates the possibility of a tunnel. They remove the bricks and dig down, finding wood about 3 ft (1 m) down. Eventually they locate a coin in the hole about 4 ft (1 m) down.

Back at the workshop Kevin updates Marty and Alex on their discoveries.
