Did the FBI find $400M in Civil War gold in a Pa. forest? Harrisburg lawyer says he has new clue in the case - pennlive.com

Our Lawyer is working with a bigger law firm now to get ready to take our case to Federal Court. Its been 3 yrs since the FBI dug at Dents Run and we been in many court battles and now we have the info we need to bring this hunt to its end and the truth will come out.
We were in court 8 times in 2yrs trying to get info from DCNR's files . They did everything to stull each case. What is it they are hiding . We know what it is but we need to prove it before we head to Federal Court. There is a lot more to this case than anyone knows and a lot of people could end up in jail. You know the term FAKE NEWS and thats what the FBI does best. We beat the FBI in court and they must give us everything in their files but they said it will take 3 yrs to get it ready. They have 2,370 pages, 7 hrs of video , and hundreds of photos in the main file, there is a lot more in the sub file . If we ask for just part of the files like 50 pages they can give it to us in a few months. We want everything in the files, so if we can get the Federal Court to speed them up GOOD. We have enough now to go to court but it would help our case if we had their files.

Members follow TNet rules there want be any timeouts.
 

Your thread title says, "Did the FBI find $600M in Civil War Gold in Pa. Forest ?". I absolutely believe they did not. Nothing said on this topic has changed my mind about it. The only thing that will change my mind is a pile of gold.
 

In Summary:

- Previously, a federal magistrate ordered all records sealed in response to an FBI request to do so, citing an "ongoing investigation"

- Through a Right to Know information request, the name of that Magistrate has been revealed

- The Attorney representing the FK group, will now petition that magistrate to unseal the record

FK, keep us updated when that petition has been filed and when it will be heard.

400 millions is a lot to keep hidden What did the FBI do with it? My guess is they used it to hire more agents because of all the ongoing investigations they have. It seems there is a new one everyday. A clue is not evidence but can be more persuasive then actual evidence in our present environment. Good luck with your effort. I hope you get to the bottom of it.
 

No, the FBI found nothing. This has been rehashed many times, never with anything new revealed.
 

If one was smart they wouldn't get the government involved no matter where it was located, not making accusations though.

You do make a point, despite the sensationalist title, we have no more information regarding the treasure itself then we did 3 years ago other then an update that they are going to petition the court to unseal the record.

I will note in the link though, the article it leads to has some mis-information in it. In pertinent part:

"Federal authorities are refusing to tell Finders Keepers or anyone else what, if anything, they found. " This is untrue. If memory servers me right, It was well documented at the time that the FBI at the scene was asked about it after they were packing up and leaving if they had found anything, the FBI said they "did not find anything".

I still suspect once the file is open, it will reveal, indeed, what the FBI agent said was truthful.

If the FBI had found the Dent's run gold, it would undoubtedly be the biggest historical find in the history of the USA. They would not have kept that hidden for 3 years now. 600,000 million is ONE week of FBI operating budget so that rules out any silly theories of them keeping the gold to hire agents or buy equipment or all that nonsense. The income generated by displaying that in the Smithsonian and traveling to be displayed in Museums the world over, would over time generate 1,000 of times it's value. Not to mention, it would become a national treasure viewed by our ancestors 100's of years from now.

If they found it too, with 50 agents on site, multiple forensic people, Sheriffs deputies, troopers, equipment operators, armored car drivers and security personal transporting it, security vaults receiving, cataloging, documenting and guarding it, as well as historians examining and analyzing it, as well as higher up FBI personal, as well as all the wives and husbands of all these people directly involved in it, you'd literally have 1000's of people who would know of it's existence, yet not ONE single leak? Literally statistically impossible for there not to be a leak with that many people directly involved.

Not trying to stir the pot, but if they don’t have anything to hide release the entire file. There would be nothing in it that would involve nation security.

If an investigation was done on something that someone claimed to have happened, and it turned up nothing, they would close that file probably.

Then again if a large amount of hrs/expenses were used for the investigation there would be questions, and someone has to answer those.

Eg: File a report/claim about something that isn't fact-the authorities could seek charges of filing a false claim-compensation for the investigation that took place.
Especially if a large number of investigators were pooled to the file.

If there was any requests for files, (that would keep the iron in the fire so to speak)-so they can't close it in that case until all rulings/appeals/rebuttals what ever have been dealt with.

(Just my own thoughts on what might be the reason-and not saying it is, or isn't the case).
 

I do not know how this is in US, but here in the "old" continent "we, the people" have the right to know everithing that is allowed to. All the rest never happened. That is why the history is so full of sudden revelations. But that is OK with me, cause i tend to keep the same attitude - newer report anything, newer seen anything, newer know a thing.

Right !

according to Some it "Never Existed"

So if you spent a Year or so Searching for Nothing ? No harm no fowl .

After that time, You found Nothing Correct ?

So you spend 30 days hauling backpacks full of nothing home

and for the next few years chipping away & melting nothing down

and at Tax time you declare nothing except maybe a loss on your expenditures finding nothing.

again. since it doesn't exist..... "No harm no fowl" . :coffee2:

if the tax man cometh "nothing to see here" read the FBI File "you must be hallucinating !"

Pointless to rehash this story again and again. Let it go...
 

new info from FinderKeeper is always welcome on this

it's those who feel they need to respond that sometimes wear out their welcome :coffee2:
 

Finders Keepers is insisting clues point to the Dent’s Run site as the hidden resting place of a shipment of Union Army gold worth millions of dollars that was lost or stolen around the time of the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863. According to legend the gold, perhaps as many as 52 50-pound bars, left Wheeling, W. Va., and never made to its intended destination of Philadelphia.

That possibility is backed by more than local lore. Cluck said his clients were told by the feds that a ground-penetrating survey commissioned by the FBI before the dig began indicated something big, maybe even gold, was buried in the Dent’s Run area.

So the feds confirmed that there was something buried there! Kinda sounds like they found a UFO...
