Nunez Ferry Buried Treasure

Henry Nunez built a ferry across the Perdido River in 1815, turning a difficult crossing into a profitable route for travelers. He amassed a good sized fortune, which he hid in buried casks around his property. After Union soldiers repeatedly robbed him, forcing Henry and his wife to reveal hiding places, and he passed away, his wife abandoned the property. It is thought many casks his wife was unaware of were placed in different locations so robbers could never find most of it, and would think if they found the main cache they would believe that’s all there is. Many suspect it is likely multiple casks full of treasure are still buried near the old ferry site.
