Ponca City,OK.
I watch a treasure hunting show once where the people actually found some hidden gold. One of the alphabet agencies came in and took control of the area. The finders were supposed to get a percentage of the loot. During the night black suvs were in and out of the area and the next day when the finders were allowed back in, there wasn't much gold for them to get a percentage of. A neighbor lady ratted out the night shift of Feds.

5 to 10 million wound be a minor find. I’m not aware of anything recently, last being in 2018ish, that was estimated $500 million. The SS Republic sunk in 1865 and was worth like 400 million.

Thes sell for stupid money due to their providence.

Understand the difference between “civil war“ and “civil war era” if it’s a shipwreck as most coins were 1857 and 1858.

The cheapest civil war $20 is the 1861 an nice XF45 is around $3000 plus. These can be hard to find in XF and Lower AU as no one sells and when they do if priced right sell quickly.
