Buried Treasure In MississippiBuried treasure in Mississippi do exist. I have listed a few areas that have been rumored to hold treasures. However, I cannot promise that this information is completely accurate. As treasure tales go, because they have been passed down through many years, certain elements of the lost treasure story may have been altered, either intentionally or otherwise. This information should be researched through other means as well. Never rely on one piece of information about a treasure story you are researching. Use multiple research tools. A good place to start is on the Internet. Also check with the historical societies of the areas you will be searching in. For more information on where and how to research for lost treasures,

Confederate soldiers,during the Civil War, while on the run, buried $80,000 in gold coins near the old Napoleon Church site, located approximately one hundred yards from the Pearl River near Waveland, close to St. Louis Bay. Privateer Captain Dave, supposedly buried approximately $200,000 in treasure in an oak tree grove on an old plantation near Pass Christian. Anytime you are going on to private property be sure to ask for permission. If you are venturing on to State or Federal lands you should know the laws of that State.
