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.

As this is related to an ongoing investigation, any additional comment would be inappropriate at this time.
Stay tuned for season 2, I heard it's a knights templar....everything leads back to the knights templar.

:notworthy:

I'm impressed - if the $1 love token is the last one, bottom row, what's the denomination on the coin to the left of it?

We have one thing in common, I found a $2.50 gold dollar love token.

:notworthy:

Those on 2 are both $1 golds. The USA had slight variations of sizes of $1.00 gold, for different years of their production run.

Why is the FBI out there is it on federal land that you need an ok to dig? So much for finders keepers if they brought in the FBI as I'm sure anything they would find the government is going to keep if it's on federal land. HH
All of us members agree with you. The FBI should be busy arresting Mrs. Clinton. Put her in jail now.

This is not on Federal Land, and the FBI could not get a permit to dig unless we proved it was Union Gold. If it was any other gold guess who gets it???? The laws in Pa. are not fixed on this kind of find. The FBI brought in their own company from Philadelphia to check out our findings . This was a major company world wide with the best equipment. I just lit the fire , it was the bigger company that did the scan and brought the FBI in .

Lesson to be learn: If you locate treasures, do not tell the FBI or you will lose everything.

You are using terms like "who gets it...." and "....proved it was union gold, and "this kind of find...". All of which is phraseology that seems to indicate something was found.

Yet you have not put out any proof that anything was found. I am skeptical of your terminology, because it appears you tend to use past tense "found", for supposing that you've narrowed this supposed treasure down to a certain meadow. Or certain cave. Or whatever. I'm sorry, but that doesn't mean anything was "found".

We're still waiting. And all we hear is: The sound of crickets.
