Old Camp Place Confederate Gold One Hundred Fifty Thousand — Ouachita Parish

Lost Treasure LA • Ouachita Parish County
Description
West Monroe legend of $150,000 in Confederate gold supposedly buried by retreating troops near Old Camp Place on the historic Ouachita River stage road.
Historical Notes
The Rocker Box separately records that $150,000 in gold was supposedly buried by Confederate troops near Old Camp Place — a second, larger payroll variant of the West Monroe cache stories. Ouachita Parish saw Union occupation pressure during the Civil War; plantation specie and military pay chests figure prominently in northeast Louisiana treasure anthologies. TreasureNet members from West Monroe have pursued both Old Camp Place variants for decades. Coordinates approximate the Old Camp Place stage-stop corridor along Cypress Street west of the Ouachita River bridge. No documented recovery — folklore only.
Status / Verification legend — Legendary or approximate
