About this listen

We’ve never told this story—and for good reason.

It started with a hunch and some half-legible journal entries from the 1700s. John Swift—silver miner, war vet, possible madman—claimed he buried loads of silver deep in the Kentucky hills. Most chalked it up to backwoods legend. We didn’t. We followed the clues, found the creek, the rock, the carvings. Sent Casey into a cave that looked like it hadn’t seen daylight in 200 years.

And we found it. The treasure. The silver. It was real.

Then the producers made us leave. Cameras off. No explanation. Just “we’re done here.”

Something about that day never sat right—but we’re finally telling what we can.
