This month, we revisit something that's haunted Amber since we watched Sahara: what was the deal with that Confederate gold? Where's it hidden? Did it ever exist? What even is currency? We tackle all these questions and more, before exploring other, definitely real, treasure hunts that have happened in the United States.
