# 18. I feel your pains, you pay so much in lawyers fees and other expenses, and got nothing in return. Many of us have problems searching for buried treasures in local, county and federal lands. Getting private land owners is sometime hard, but not like dealing with governments. Since there was digging on the land and perhaps treasures was found, I believe the story. You should not make public here and to governments that there is more treasures, because the governments will look for it. Do not look for it because there cameras everywhere. I am outrage that there are members who would trespass on governments lands and recover treasures without contracts which are crimes and most likely, off to jail you will go.We keep this hunt in the news because DCNR did a dig at the site 3 years back and removed some of what's there. We had our lawyers trying to work things out but DCNR will not give a finders fee and they alone cost me a great deal of money to keep us from digging. We can not dig at this site, they have camera's and so do we. If we did remove the gold then what. Ya its easy to say take it and run. The truth is if I had $ millions in gold in my house , I would never sleep. Then just try to sell it, to who. No we want to do this in a way that we can be safe to spend any reward. We have a lot of new info we been keeping quiet and more just comes in. We did hope to go public in Aug. but we need to finish our research. We are still working at the Dents Run Cave doing our thing and DCNR has done everything they can to stop us but my lawyer keeps them busy. DCNR was on site last week with a back hoe and dug at the site again but this time it was for draining water they say, what water this site has no water problems. But now that they dug a trench I am sure it will. I think the dig was to cover up what they did 3 years ago. Someone from DCNR dug and removed something from the site but did it go to Harrisburg or into some ones pocket at the Emporium Office.
Their is a lot more than gold and silver at this site . This site will make a great story for Movie , books, etc. The history inside this cave will change things and answer some old questions.View attachment 1227805
We did not find a bar of gold at the site but there is a person from the area that did years ago. We drilled into a bar of gold and called DCNR and they came in to see the drill bit with shavings on it. WE had Channel 6 News on site and showed them GOLD readings on our GPL and other equipment. We had The Progress News Paper and other news papers on site and showed them the readings. We had Discovery Channel on site and again they saw the readings. The gold is there and DCNR knows its there, they dug it before and I got them on video and now I got a lawyer and they don't dig . If it's their gold why don't they dig it up even if I do have camera's on site. Why don't they dig.
I would like to tell you a story why the Treasure of Pa. is in jail now, the GREED of this gold help put him there. Soon I hope to tell everything and more people will be going to jail.
If you check out this link Cameron County PA News: Dents Run - The Lost Gold it will tell you about the news and more.
Every thing we found was from the Civil War period , This is the kind of tricks DCNR and the Museum Commissioners do to throw treasure hunters off the trail to a treasure. If they say its junk and not from the civil war period then everyone believes them . We had everything checked out before we gave anything to DCNR and all was from the Civil War period. The so called junk is still in a iron file cabinet in DCNR's office for 12 years at Emporium. If its junk why not return it to us . Everything I gave them from other sites was all so called junk and they did not return it. So we stopped sending them junk, now we keep it (junk).
If it was unmarked and just a few bars it would be gone and so would I. But This is part of our history and the DCNR knows who's gold it is and they know more than I do. If this turns out to be Spanish then I would have Spain and DCNR to fight. If its marked Federal gold then I could lose 1/2 of it. The problem is who was the last owner and how was it lost, that will decide in court who gets what.
. Now if the north took the gold from the south, who is the last owner, the north 
. Ok now lets say the north took the gold from the south , then Connors took the gold from the north and buried it. At the time of the wagon train Connors was not in the army , he was hired to guide the wagon train. Is Connors the last owner? Now I found the gold so am I the new owner. You can see how many ways this could go in court for ownership. Then was it taken or misplaced or abandon this is a major factor in ownership. Did Connors pick to hide it in the cave or did Castleton. Castleton was in the army so is this treasure misplaced or abandon.
If DCNR did remove any gold 3 years ago then they may of taken gold that may belong to me, now that's a crime because they say they did not remove anything.
