The Truth about the biggest and best treasure site found in Pa. Dents Run Lost Gold

[FinderKeeper]

Update / This show and tell never happen. Our lawyer had us put this Dents Run site and our other sites in Pa. and Va. on hold. We been working on something much bigger than all the sites we have located and ready to dig at. We are in Nova Scotia ,Canada working with the Government, Museums, Heritage, and others. Our lawyer said if we do something wrong in Pa. we would not be able to cross the border into Canada, he was right. DCNR can charge me with anything up to taking Federal gold and it would stick until court was held. No we have better things to do at this time.
I do think about this site every day and the day will come for me to tell all. check out the post below.

PLEASE do keep us informed,,

Maybe a "mailing list" of all interested parties emails should be put together and used to disseminate information when it becomes available.
I would definitely subscribe.

Update / We just got a phone call from DCNR ( Sat 9:30 am ) telling us we can return to the Dents Run site and finish our research but no treasure hunting . When we are done with our research we will give the info to DCNR / Museum Commisoners first then hold a open house in St. Marys , Pa. in Aug.
I will post all updates here.
Thank You All for your support

We been working at our site in Nova Scotia and now we are back to work at Dents Run. We will post a date for our open house soon. The St Marys Historical Soc. just got a new building and don't have the man power for a fund raiser so we will look for another place . The site we have in Nova Scotia is much bigger than Dents Run and we can dig and drill their. We are working at Dents Run this month (Sep) and as soon as we finish our research we will post a date and time.

We just got word from a person that his great, great uncle was in the civil war and they still have his letters from him. What's so great is he was on the wagon train with all the gold and sent letters to his family. The letters say it was confederate gold they had and not from out west. That's why no one could ever find anything about this shipment . Now is the good part. If the gold bars are marked with confederate markings then the gold will be returned to Richmond, Va . I think. This is why DCNR doesn't want us to dig it up , they don't get any of it and I don't think Pa. would get anything . From what I know, all of it would go south maybe I should be working with someone from down in Va. Next week I may just do that.
I am going to see if I can copy the civil war letters and read them and post them here.

I have hunted for the lost gold for years. I am sure it never existed in any form. none of the story checks out . no army records of Lt Castleton or any of the rest. The steam ship named in the story was launched in the 1880s There was towns all over central pa . they would not have taken mountain paths. The railroad ran to Renovo pa and on up the river by then. No records of the pinkertons ever being in the area for lost gold.. Plain out if looks like a mule it probably is a mule. prove it with something besides logging relics from that era.

Hood morning all. I am not saying that the above find is bs, but i as in Benezette on 04/29/2016. Went up by o look at the Elk. Talked with h a few lines cals, and no one knows anything about this find. also spoke to a few residents on " Hicks run, at dents run. And got the same answers.
I think that the locals would know, if there was some ch a find.

These pictures were taken from inside the Dents Run cave site. We located a Indian Skelton with a crutch he used, so he was injured. Note how he removed the bark from the upper part so it would not rub against his side . The gray on the crutch looks to be a knife holder with a coin or something shinny on it. He have pictures of the skull and there is a lot of black hair all over this site.

Thanks so much for sharing these pics, Dennis. So this is directly related to the Dent's Run treasure? The hair looks like horse hair, but wouldn't hair that old have rotted by now? Interesting.

We took these pictures with a remote cam that was 32' back in the cave. It was a ***** trying to get these pictures. It stays cold in this part of the cave all year around and no openings for air to flow in or out so would hair or animal skin last 100's yrs ? I would like to see if they are coins and the date on them and get better pictures of his living area. But this work does not pay the bills and we spent a lot of weeks trying to get more info. Our question is was he here before the civil war gold was put here or after. From what we see it looks like he was here way before the gold was here.

I'm responding to your story about the 'Dents Run Gold'.

It's relatively straight forward to research treasure legends and over 90% of them are fabricated. The principles involved in the Dents Run legend; Lt. Castleton and Sgt O'Rourke and Connors do not exist in any US Civil War records of our National Archives or any genealogical records in America; they were made up. There is also no record at all of any missing military payroll during the entire Civil War according to the US Army. This legend does not appear anywhere in history until the mid 1960's!

These legends are written by individuals who seek their treasure in the pockets of people gullible enough to buy their books and stories. A good local example of this sort of author is Francis X Scully. He's written lots of stories about local lost treasures; all of them fabricated out of the work of another well known local folklorists. Referencing his work only makes you look foolish. The bottom line is that very few of these guys who search for treasure know how to conduct historical research and make fraudulent claims about lost treasures causing our state agencies to waste money, time and man power over these.

I am an Historical Archaeologist and I spend a great deal of time debunking these legends.As an historical archaeologist I believe that the truth needs to be told about these legends so that people quit wasting money and public resources looking for them.
