What makes it different from others?

Purely Joyful Movie!

It is a performances centric movie

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Unfortunately this show is not great. I was hopeful but it's full of grand speculation and an abundance of jumping to ridiculous conclusions with minimal evidence.

Get rid of this narrator and all the redundancies and this series would be more interesting.

The "searchers" in this program should all be embarrassed that they are exposing themselves as simpletons. Here goes... So at the conclusion of the Civil War, the 4th Michigan Cavalry captures, along with Jefferson Davis, wagon loads of gold. How many men in the 4th Cavalry knew? Hundreds? Yet not one of them left any written or even oral history of such plunder. Oh yes but the three ranking union officers supposedly kept it under wraps??? ...right! Then these intellectual midgets who are searching for the gold maintain that the union officers- Pritchard, Hackley, etc moved this gold all over the country? Moved it from Georgia, to Michigan to Utah and melted it down at some point. Again, such movements call for the inclusion of at least dozens of people... yet not one scintilla of corroboration from any laborer, sailor, trainman, or anyone from the time period. Do they assume/think that all this movement and melting of millions of dollars of gold and and silver 150 years ago happened in a vacuum....And if you think they find anything - don't you think that it would have been reported in the national news already? Don't watch it.This program is more Masonic pipe dreaming, and they expect us to swallow it.

I have made it thru three episodes, but can't take it anymore. The show tries hard to be like Oak Island, but misses by a wide margin. Unfortunately, it continues all the annoying practices such as lots of repetition, "war room" meetings, grand speculation, and obsession with Knights Templar. In addition, it misses the boat on some of the redeeming value of Oak Island, such as interesting characters, history of the area, and use of other experts and parties to solve problems. Marty and Rick are interesting to watch in using management skills, and interpersonal skills in addressing issues that come up on Oak Island. Civil War Gold is the other extreme, with an an apparent control freak who wants to do everything himself - and thus is not very interesting from any standpoint. The historical topic was what interested me to watch, but I cannot overcome the other negatives to continue.
