  • The Quest for Confederate Treasure: The South(west) Will Rise Again

    The Quest for Confederate Treasure: The South(west) Will Rise Again
    Apr 15 2026
    After a few rewrites and edits, I have finally finished the third and final episode in the series over Confederate Treasure. Instead of telling the rest of the Rebel Gold story like I had planned, I decided to summarize a few parts without ruining it. I briefly talk about Bob’s adventures with the Wolf Map treasure of Oklahoma and the Lost Dutchman Mine in Arizona before imploring listeners to purchase Rebel Gold and reading it. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still a ton of fun information and tantalizing clues, but after a discussion with author Warren Getler, I have decided not to ruin the book. I end the episode with two very recent finds in Pennsylvania and Ohio. The Ohio Treasure was probably buried by the not assassinated Jesse James. Both are probably KGC related.

  • The Quest for Confederate Treasure: Arkansas Secrets & The Knights of the Golden Circle

    The Quest for Confederate Treasure: Arkansas Secrets & The Knights of the Golden Circle
    Mar 18 2026
    This is the first of three episodes over the Quest for Confederate Treasure which follows Bob Brewer as he hunts for Rebel Gold. I open the episode with Bob Brewer and his upbringing in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas where he learns of his family’s ties to buried treasure. I then move to the complete history of the Knights of the Golden Circle from their beginning to the time they go underground after the Civil War. This episode takes place entirely in the East and South but by the third episode, we will be in the American Southwest as we follow Bob’s hunt for Confederate Treasure into the Superstition Mountains. The journey to those desert peaks is thrilling and almost unbelievable.
