Official press release from the FBI:

FBI Statement on Elk County Pennsylvania Excavation
The FBI was conducting a court-authorized excavation last week at Dents Run, Elk County, Pennsylvania.

Nothing was found, and the excavation ended on Wednesday, March 14.

Enough said. I don't understand why anyone would/would allow this story to propagate. Carry on wayward sons!

It doesn't say absolutely nothing was found

What production (don’t hear them called film companies much anymore) company still uses film that costs a fortune to edit these days??

Nobody I know in the industry still uses film for documentaries so it will be interesting to find out who is running that company.
Are they Hollywood based or east coast?

You got it wrong and you made fun of me? I went back to all of the emails from the TV companys and most say the word FILM in them. So I was not wrong with my statement it was you. I said we film our site from day one and that was in 2005 up and we used a Video cam and it is 8mm and it has FILM in it. I did not say a film company was on site for 10yrs filming us. GET REAL.

Mods should just lock this thread until the gold is actually dug up and in their possession as I've run out of popcorn...

Lock a thread with 29,100 views? Even if .5% (half percent) of the people placed an order from the advertisers who pay to be on here that's 145 orders. I think the Mods and Forum Foundry will have none of that - That's your (and your 5 likes) Economics 101 class for the day.

Hay great post, BUT why didn't you tell the rest of what the FBI said You only tell what you want everyone to think. Go and post the truth they said they would not admit to looking for treasure or gold , Yet they dug for two days at our site with us on site , what do you think they were looking for .

The FBI said in a statement Monday night that it conducted a “court-authorized excavation” at Dents Run, a heavily forested area about 135 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. The FBI isn't confirming that its dig had anything to do with the legendary Civil War treasure. But the agency says it didn't find whatever it was looking for. The FBI won't release additional details, saying the dig was related to an “ongoing investigation


​

It says they didn't find what ever it was looking for, That is a play of words, what if they were looking for union gold but found confederate gold, or they were looking for 5 tons of gold and only found 4 tons. The truth will come out soon.

We worked at the site for 7yrs, but we filmed up to the time the FBI came in and that is 12yrs of filming. so I said 10yrs , big deal .

Why didn't I tell the rest of what the FBI said? LOL They didn't say anything more than the direct link I shared from their website. I only told everyone what the FBI wants everyone to think sans you.

The FBI didn't leave much room for a play on words nor did I alter their statement which in turn leaves no margin for error.

Agree, the FBI never stated what they were looking for but I'm fairly certain that if the FBI was looking for clothes hangers and found something significant other than coat hangers, it would have been duly included in their press release. It doesn't say "we didn't find what we were looking for" that's your interpretation, not mine nor any other skeptic. It simply says "Nothing was found."

I submitted an eFOIPA to the FBI yesterday, I should hear back soon. I will share that info in a separate thread. It will be interesting to compare notes.

All of us members agree with you. The FBI should be busy arresting Mrs. Clinton. Put her in jail now.

If I said that wasn't political, would I be lying?

Don't do it, I have plenty of popcorn and would be glad to send you some. Really, I enjoy the banter back and forth and is part of the reason for checking in.

They have their reasons for what they said and how they said it. If nothing was found then there should be no investigation. If there was something found and there was a investigation , then would they say anything that would mess up their investigation? and why ask us to keep quiet until the investigation was done . We will find out soon enough

Why not post your FOIPA info here to , we would like to see it. Why do I think you will not post it . Why would you say that's my interpretation. I took it from a major news paper and that's what it said . READ IT and tell me I made this up. This is the kind of thing that goes on here all day . No one gets the info right, they just tell what they want to tell. http://triblive.com/state/pennsylva...-up-empty-at-site-of-legendary-civil-war-gold

I have every intention of posting it! If the investigation is still ongoing then I suppose I will get nothing but rest assured, it goes up if I get it.

Do you have a link to the major newspaper article? I haven’t seen it.

FYI FK, I’m a skeptic with an open mind, not a non-believer, I really hope you have found something and if so, I’ll fight to be first in line for some of that crow pie, I’ve eaten it before and it actually doesn’t taste too bad when I deserve a slice.
