>Dennis Parada waged a legal battle to force the FBI to turn over records of its excavation in Dents Run, Pennsylvania, where local lore says an 1863 shipment of Union gold disappeared on its way to the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia. The FBI, which went to Dents Run after sophisticated testing suggested tons of gold might be buried there, has long insisted the dig came up empty.

>Parada and his advisers, who have spent countless hours poring over the newly released government records, believe otherwise. They accuse the FBI of distorting key evidence and improperly withholding records in an apparent effort to conceal the recovery of a historic, extremely valuable gold cache. The FBI defends its handling of the materials.

This is a very interesting story

Right! If the FBI did find the gold, where is it now? Or did some rogue FBI agents retire to Cabo with the money?

Funny enough one of the FBI shows on tv made a episode about this exact story last year and in the episode they claim they find nothing

This story is so sick. Secret Civil War gold stashed in an unassuming PA wilderness, a pair of amateur treasure hunters find something and then the FBI comes in and excavates, and finds "nothing" despite their own experts saying there was a big mass of metal down there.
I hope we find the truth about this. It would make an awesome book or movie.
