Chasing Spondulix: A Hunt for Lost Confederate Gold - Paperback

by Eric J. Dillman (Author)

When Kelly McLaurin buys a neglected farmhouse in rural North Carolina, she expects peeling paint and loose floorboards. She does not expect a hidden journal in the barn or a trail of clues pointing to one of the South's most enduring legends: the lost Confederate gold.

What begins as simple home renovations quickly becomes a journey into the past as Kelly uncovers forgotten letters, buried artifacts, and hints of a secret that has waited generations to be found. With the help of Henry, a resourceful local handyman, and Greg, a friend with a mind for history, Kelly pieces together a puzzle that stretches far beyond the walls of her old farmhouse.

But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes they are not alone. Someone is watching. Kelly must decide how far she is willing to go to uncover what really happened to the gold.

Chasing Spondulix blends Southern history, hidden stories, and the quiet tension of small-town secrets into a modern treasure mystery. What Kelly discovers is more valuable than gold, and far more dangerous.
