Confederacy Gold In Lake Michigan

The History Channel aired an episode earlier this year in the hopes of helping men find lost Civil War treasure in Lake Michigan, but as The Eagle pointed out, there may be no cheese at the end of the tunnel for them:

The current status of the investigation is they are waiting on approval from the state of Michigan to recover what they've found at the bottom of Lake Michigan, but there's reason to believe that someone is trying to deceive the team in regards to the Lake Michigan gold.

If anybody has an update on this possible find let us know. Until then...good hunting.
