Hi , The gold mine near me uses a 20 foot DV container tare weight 2.300 Kgs Payload 25 000 Kgs side lift single axle truck and. 2 support security vehicles . Seems to be a far more obscure way to move something than an army of black vans which would look far from a covert operation. Please explain the explain? TP
A legally loaded semi-truck is 40 tons (80,000lbs). 7 tons is nothing when heavy equipment is involved. 7 tons would be 14 five gallon buckets of gold. Doesn’t take much room. Probably be tough for a full size SUV to even transport a single bucket without being overloaded.

A UTV could carry 1/2 ton in their dump bed.

Hi Well said , The mine i speak of is not even a high profile mine but all the same their new pit is set to yeild 1.1 million ozs over the next 3 years.Even have a public open day with little security. Just seems this dents run is a total overkill . TP

The word FOUND
is 100% right on, we drilled into the gold and showed it to DCNR 6 yrs ago. That's when things went bad with us and DCNR and that's all I can say for now .



Then can you show us photographs of the drilled gold from 6 years ago? Hey I just want to see the gold to verify all of these stories then I will all together shut-up.

Well I saw that video too but it did not show any gold bars. What was shown could have been gold foil or any thing that looked like gold that was drilled through such as mica or anything that could reflect as gold. Still does not prove 7 to 9 tons of gold or silver. I also saw a reflection from what could have been a silver coin but hey in photographs anything that reflects looks round like a coin in a photograph. There has got to be something to verify the gold and then the skeptics will whither away.

Well Jeff, per that video you posted...
I mean YaHoo!!! Gold treasure actually FOUND!!
Why wasn’t this followed up with a video of them screening/washing the drill spoils to seperate out the gold? That’s the type of thing that’s gets people wound up tight.
Some close ups of them holding some gold in their hand would be a great addition to their treasure hunting website.

Back to Dents Run. If he had an agreement with the FBI regarding a Finders Fee that is a binding contract. An agreement to allow him to be present during the dig would have been a condition of that contract. Sounds like there was a breach of contract which should have prompted immediate legal response.

Your ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. FK has ZERO defense towards skeptics. After all he has withheld critical proof or facts for a half a decade!!! Alll the while eluding to having evidence proving something HUGE. He has apparently shared some of this info with some people and they seem to be on his “side”.

That is his choice. It does leave an obvious trap for skeptics, which has led to numerous “punishments”.

Personally there are only a couple reasons to do this.
One might be to build suspense and try to maximize some sort of production media value.
Another might be to preserve some sort of legal strategy.

The one critical missing link here (for us people trying to follow along) is the public court record.
Finders Keepers has refused to provide docket numbers. “Court Ordered” or “Court Santioned”
means our tax dollars were spent via. the legal system. Around here you can sit in on court proceedings. It starts in county superior court and slowly makes its way up the ladder.
You can take notes, write news stories about the claims/facts presented. It’s all open and public record. Why is this missing I wonder?

Finally, as mentioned before, per the rules here, there is no obligation to provide concrete proof to back up theories or claims.

You only have to be respectful as you would face to face. I think EVERYBODY has an issue with the fact that the word FOUND has been used over and over without any of the typical photos associated with most of the other finds that are graciously shared here. That should. not provoke accusations of lying on the part of skeptics (as long as they are respectful). It’s just human nature. I suggest that is taken into account.

What would I do for 7 tons of gold? Probably hire some unskilled labor to dig a long tunnel. Of course not before boring right through a huge mess of yellow to prove it’s existance. Especially when local authorities are skeptic and think I have wild ideas.

One thing that everybody should understand is that this has been left open ended purposely for whatever reason.

Well, around here, if you show up in a court room, ANY court room, and your name is not on the docket as a Plaintiff, Respondent or witness, the bailiffs will tell you to leave. I was a licensed Private Investigator for 12 years and one of my clients wanted me to attend a certain court proceeding and report on how it went. Well, I was in that court room for about 10 minutes and then the officers went person by person with a clip board, and if you were not on it, you got escorted out. I also pulled a lot of "public records" for clients. Some jurisdictions would happily give them to you and even provide free copies, others said "NO WAY" and told me to leave the building or I would go to jail. Remember, ALL of the records I was after were indeed public records as controlled by the same state and federal laws. My point is, it all depends on the jurisdiction and their "rules" which appear to violate state law on a regular basis. If the person in question here was told by his attorney to not speak about details of this ongoing case, and they found out he was posting said details on a public internet forum, they would probably drop his case and send him some outlandish bill. He said he can not divulge certain details or provide photos at this time. I take him at his word and do not find that so out of the ordinary for ongoing legal cases.

Bill

The Dents Run story is REAL, and I believe there was 52 bars of Union gold at this site with another treasure from the 1820's but were did the 9 tons of gold come from :BangHead: I have no idea.
I have many questions to and I had hope the FBI dig would of answer them. The Confederate story came to us from a person in Va. and he said he had proof that some of the gold at our site came from a farm in Va. that his relatives owned in 1860's . I do not know if his story is real . We did some research on it but gave up. Every thing depends on what the FBI found. Maybe that's what the FBI is still investigating.

Those people you had doing those geophysics surveys, how reliable are they? We had one come out here in Virginia to Danville, Va. They performed a whole day of scans which I know were incorrect as they did not find or pickup things that I knew were four to five feet deep and some of the surface metals that were visible they did not pick them up either. I would not rely to much on geo-physical surveys. I had two locations that had four million each in gold coins---------the scans did not show them. I had four tons of silver at eight feet=the scans did not show them. These people charged $1600. per day. As I said I would not go to court with only their instruments as proof that there was 7 to 9 tons of gold on location.

Thanks for your response. All I can say is to be careful with the FBI, you may be trying to walk on egg shells.

"That something, they believe, was gold." They believe, that's it? Circumstantial evidence perhaps supports the belief but still, nothing. In my best Taggart (Slim Pickens) voice, I am depressed. I was hoping to eat crow when I noticed the extremely misleading title to this thread.

!
I thought it was misleading also for i never saw any place were that amount was talked about or wrote about..

Lead becomes unobtanium.

They were probably looking for lead. Old lead. For science experiments. And they probably found it. It gets really spooky when you do nuclear science. The west does not have a lot of ancient smelted lead. And there are a lot of laws covering nuclear secrets and materials. I have no clue exactly what they do with it. I do know a nuclear weapons accident killed my father, and it did it rather slowly.

link below explains it pretty good

And this video explains why science and astrophysics is important

Enviroscan charges over $5,000 a day to scan. If the FBI hired them they had to be good enough for a Fed Judge to accept their report. The other company from Ohio ( geosearches ) charged me $2,500 for 1hr to scan the site 6 yrs ago. Both companys located gold at the same spot along with other smaller companys we had on site. Its not just scans we did , we have core drilling records and a lot more.

Ya that's why we held back info, no one would believe me if I said 9 tons of gold , 3 armored trucks, hummers, military, 30 + black SUV's , choppers and more. We thought it best to hold off until we finished our investigation and then turn it over to the Associated Press. The AP sent in a reporter to check out everything we sent them. He spent 3 weeks calling everyone and talking to them and video taping many people from the area. He called to our lawyer, the FBI , and Enviroscan. If the AP ran the story then more people would believe it.
Hay 6 yrs ago when I said 2 1/2 tons of gold or 52 bars and silver, no one believed me then. So holding off on info did pay off.

We still have more info coming in each day , a lot of people are now willing to help us get the truth out. With the new info we have I am sure you will see more on this subject this week again. No way is this story going away , IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BIGGER AND BETTER EACH DAY>

We did that 3 yrs ago, New York, Seneca Tribe. We sent them a lot of video and pictures of what we saw in the cave. When they saw the site was on state land they could do nothing. If it was on Fed land they could. We had hope they would do a dig at the site but in the end they sent everything we gave them to DCNR. Now we have little to prove what we saw. Did we tell the FBI about the indian skeleton , NO because we have no more proof. I had hope when they dug the site up they would find the skeleton and they would get the right people involved. That did not happen. They used a excavator to do the dig and from what I know, I am not sure if they found the part of the cave were the skeleton and living area was.

Hi Fk , On your own website under the Dents Run section you clearly state that you were told not pursue this issue and not dig on this site located on public land . TP
