''They may be looking in the wrong place as Whittlebury woods near Towcester is also a likely hiding place.
Local story has it, that the gold was stolen and on their way to Towcester Park street mint they were confronted by thieves. They had to bury it quickly. and it's never been seen to this day''.liamssoft

Archaeologists hope to find missing French gold sent to Scotland to help fund a Jacobite Rebellion buried under a remote Highland beach. A portion of the money was believed to have been hidden at Arisaig, near Mallaig, in the 1700s.Neil Oliver is leading the hunt for the gold for a new BBC Two series called History Detectives.
The money did not arrive in Scotland until after the Jacobites' defeat at the Battle of Culloden in April 1746.
