The Greene County Herald is published once a week on Thursdays, and on Thursday, March 8, 2012 the headline was "Tales of Buried Gold Part of County Folklore."
This story has been written about many times, but this is the best researched and well written account of this true story that I have encountered. Herald staff writer David Breland did an excellent job reporting on the lost (and found) gold legend.
The men who found the gold were great great uncles of mine, which makes it especially interesting.
You can go online at Greene County Herald online.com and read it yourself.
(BTW, the paper is printed in Leakesville Mississippi, the County Seat for Greene County, and is the best county newspaper around.

Yes, I found it online. For a minute I thought they were going to require a paid subscription, but they didn't. I keep thinking about when we were kids and there'd be some newspaper article my mother wanted a copy of, and she'd track down someone in our small town who subscribed to that particular paper and would still have a stack of them on their porch.
