FBI Video Exposes Civil War Gold Cover-Up Josh Gates Investigates | Expedition Files

[jeff of pa]

Yeah, I got that. It was just funny.

Yea I Always Get a Chuckle over people Stacking Gold Bars,
And Even Metal Detecting with detectors that Sound like Geiger counters And Land Detectors Under Water That Sound Like Sonar on a Submarine

 

[Tesorodeoro]

Like the Gold Rush & Bearing Sea Most Stories Have a Bases in Truth,
But Drama added to keep people interested.

when your talking past events a hundred or so years old, expect names to be spelled phonetically and with deep accents occasionally . Then add to that , Amounts & Locations Can be off/Exagerated/forgotten.

I'm Sure the Pradas had done there Research Before even Stepping on Site & Trust them More then Comey's FBI

The Scene that Day was Live on the news.
Feds Tents, 4 Wheelers, Big Bucks Spent .
Security to Keep even Prada & Reportres Away !

They Didn't Dig an Empty Hole ! That I'm Sure

Jeff that’s your opinion. I’ll assume since you stated so, it wouldn’t be rude to state otherwise in a respectful manner.

SOME of the information presented here was (as I interpreted it) admittedly deceitful for the sole purpose of misleading the gov. That severely erodes my confidence in the credibility of ANY claims made here and otherwise. There were A Lot of details “shared” here that have been coincidently omitted from the current narrative. Carry on. I’m done.

 

[jeff of pa]

It just make me Think They suspected they may have been , about to be robbed

& Did Not Trust Everyone Here & Looking in.
It is an Open Forum !

maybe they should have Done a Covert Dig from Day One

20\20 Hindsight

Well I’m not one to trust the folks in charge regardless of the direction the are located on, but there was a theme early on in what was presented that was folks were “out to get them” if you catch my drift. That makes my spider senses tingle since I know folks that thrive on that sort of stuff. It’s a personality type.

Regardless. This was a VERY prominent discussion that was fairly strongly..um defended by this site irrespective of penalties implemented due to misleading narratives.
I like me a good treasure STORY as much as the next guy and I’m pretty sure we’d get along great in real life as well as most of the folks “ruining threads”.

I love the guys filling a wooden box with gold bars (0:50) and then two of them lift that box and put it on the wagon (0:59). Gold must have been a lot lighter back

[The FBI's statement regarding the excavation at Dents Run indicates that they conducted a court-authorized excavation but found nothing. The FBI's search was part of an ongoing investigation, and any additional comments would be inappropriate at this time. The excavation ended on March 14, 2018, and the FBI has not found any gold, despite claims from treasure hunters that they may have discovered a cache of gold. The legal battle surrounding the excavation continues, with the FBI defending its handling of the materials and the treasure hunter challenging the outcome.

So ... the Fbi the best investigators in the country who sent 4 dozens machine gun toting agents to pick it up and they were wrong..... they would have NEVER wasted thier time and bought all the equipment there if they weren't 100% sure it was right where Prada said it was.... ..time passes and the lie holds true ..we're the FBI and we are here for the gold now go home cause we own it now. And we know how to make you look stupid as they load the gold and steal away into the nite...

Wouldn’t the actual truth be SO interesting (regardless of your position)? We are not going to ever watch that (despite many of us thinking we were doing that here), so why not just agree this will be a great continuation and contribution to the legend that will now carry on for maybe several hundred years? Perhaps the dig site will get dug up in the future for a forensic reality TV show. Has to be a trace of gold in the water table after being buried that long!!

 

[DizzyDigger]

I still know things about this that the treasure hunters, FBI and the general public don't know. And Still playing those cards, close to my chest.

..and then you talk about it in a forum available to the public. If the situation is as potentially
volatile as it appears to be, I'd be more worried about protecting my chest!

It's no longer Comey's FBI, it's Patel's FBI, and still there is nothing. Either they are still corrupt or there was no gold.

who sent 4 dozens machine gun toting agents

Machine guns?

And why do you guys keep calling them "Prada?" Do they sell fine Italian shoes? The name is "Parada."

First Off it Doen't matter Who's FBI it is Now , Ya Think This Event has Even Come in front of 'Krash' ? He's got enough on his plate. Actually I Doubt Comey Had anything to Do wih it. It's Just a Fact of Who was in Charge Of the FBI Back then,
and the type of people he had under him is suspect imo .

Prada/Parada I Think you Know Who I Meant Hunt & Peck &
a Little dyslexic while typing fast is my excuse


Why am I Even Explaining ? I Requsted, Politely I May Add, That
Yous Keep the Accusations Out of this Particular Thread

if Posts Get Nuked Later, Don't ask Why ! it was Because I'm got Tired of this NaySaying over & Over
Maybe Go Back to the Threads Yous Aready Destroyed with Accusations
& Nay-Saying ! or Realize Your Repeating Yourselves

 

[pa plateau hiker]

Prove it....

From the time the gold was supposedly lost until the fable was published in treasure magazines, there was no mention of any lost gold. I need you to show me any written material of the lost gold between those years.

Carl it's obvious you don't even know the facts..4 dozens FBI agents with automatic weapons were deployed 24/7 around the clock in the forest around Dents Run the FBI went right to a local at dealer and bought 2v6 seat side by side to keep them deployed but you chose to attack my spelling....figures...

Jeff you have been a long advocate for this gold sage/story/event.
Yet here I read you are putting boundaries on the membership for their opinion regarding this topic.

Seriously now I question why?

Because an opinion doesn't align to your beliefs of what might or might not have happened on that particular night.

So by now you probably Realize this Dents Run topic is as toxic as religion and politics.
Yet you posted it up trying again for another different result.
There's an saying for that by a knowledgeable person in history, trying the same thing over and over trying for a different result.

It's still a he said/they said event that hasn't fully been played out.

But to put boundaries on the membership for their opinions when they haven't broken any of the forums rules might be questionable also.

(yes questioning the authority of this forum in the open forum is a no-no)

 

[pepperj]

Actually there's many that have followed this saga since the first-time yrs and yrs ago.

Basically from the 1st post to the last posts by the the original poster it changed many times.
Those were questioned, debated, proved, debated, deleted, debated, and bleached.

Please give us proof that any of that isn't a correct analogy.

 

[Tpmetal]

Once again the posts get purged for no reason. I didn't break any rules, yet again it has been deleted. Seems to only happen on this topic. 😕 I can by the site rules say that video made me roll my eyes. I didn't dispute anything, I didn't claim anything....

Call me stupid?
Is that my name on the article providing the fact the F.B.I. found nothing?
A.
No machine guns. Not one. You are stupid. And you are lying about the F.B.I..

B.
The Prada's convinced the F.B.I,. to dig. You are stupid.

C.
How many laws and ordinances were broken by the Pradas&Co. before the F.B.I. consented to a search? You are stupid.
D.
Show one single picture of recovered gold. How many cameras did the F.B.I. confiscate from locals and observers? How many cameras did The Pradas have out? How many did others have out?
No pne in the long time deer hunting area of public ground knew how to hide a camera? Cameras on public land nation wide are subject to theft and being tampered with. Don't think about it.
But do note pictures from dents run that have been provided.
E.
Provide evidence of even a single bar of gold being in Dents Run before the F.B.I. arrived. Hey maybe you could show Dennis's aircraft gold spill again?
F.
Recall Dennis's pictures and insistence of bone and and more? Of course you do. You just don't mention or inquire about such. It all simply evaporated? You don't post concern of possible steel trap material with native bone being absconded with?
Mean ol F.B.I. took that stuff too then didn't they...
Thing is ; by unearthing a single native bone the site could have been declared historic and the Pradas would have been out what? The F.B.I. wouldn't need to haul bone away to hide it or whatever you'd have them do with it and the other proposed relics.
Note to self. Bring a couple rib bones next dig.

G.
How far did the ground sink when the "cave" was refilled after exposing it? How much in cubic yards was required to fill in the void the gold extraction created? Shouldn't that show in state or federal records if material was brought in under machine gun toting? Pulling down adjacent ridges for fill would entail the rock of the region. And be altering the environment so much more than the state (which was involved) deals with. EGLE would have had to sign off. A "run" is a drainage after all.
Who witnessed the fill hauled in and took post dig samples to prove by comparing to pre dig (borings/drillings) that substrate from elsewhere was brought in to fill the voids?
The locals were conveniently close to interview. They would certainly notice if the ground was two foot lower on the site. After all they could almost declare the difference in vehicle squat coming and going hauling tons of gold. Or was that someone else that suggested that?

Easy to state what you have no evidence of existed. A very different matter to prove it.
Just because the Prads use such declarations for attention don't make a non fact a fact.

Unless you have a stoke of non stupid brilliance and can demonstrate how the mass of gold was snuck out leaving no evidence you're barking up the wrong tree calling me stupid.

9 tons of gold stolen! Makes for good headlining. Stolen? From whom? And who's gold would it be today?

H.
Dig enough into legal permissions on Pa. public ground and then ask what anyone is allowed below the grounds surface. Then who is allowed possession.
When Dennis finally admits what he would be entitled to it is credit for the find.
But for some mysterious reason the F.B.I. won't credit him for that?
Not even four bars worth?
Umm hmm.
No gold is better than any there might be prior evidence of? So much for a redundant defense by the gold stealers.
Though to be fair , there is no evidence of prior gold either.
How did the F.B.I. confirm that ; and not risk being proven to be hiding gold by prior confirmation of gold existing?
That tells us the Prada party had and has ZERO proof of gold existing on the dug site prior to the F.B.I. arrival.
How should any court believe otherwise?

Double umm hmm. You dummy.

 

[releventchair]

Note the mention of hours.
( As in not allowed in the dark.)
When was the alleged gold allegedly stolon? From whom?

[Metal detecting in Pennsylvania is regulated by the Archeological Resources Protection Act. The ARPA is a federal law regulating metal detecting all across America. Its aim is to preserve items of historical and cultural significance. This law prohibits the removal of man-made objects more than 100 years of age from public ground.

The ARPA does not apply to metal detecting done on private property. Anyone planning to use their metal detector on private property should obtain the written permission of the landowner beforehand.

Pennsylvania's metal detecting laws are among the most flexible in America. In Pennsylvania, metal detecting is allowed in virtually every state park. No permit is required. However, you can't exceed the confines of what is considered "reasonable metal detecting". There isn't a lot of information as to what qualifies as "reasonable metal detecting". Most metal detecting clubs in the area agree that it means avoiding fenced areas and busy parks.

Metal detecting on the state's lakes and rivers is a little complicated. You are free to use your metal detector on the shore of any body of water between just after Labor Day and just before Memorial Day. Outside of this period, it's up to the governing bodies of each lake or river to determine if metal detecting is allowed on its shores.

Metal detecting on public property is restricted to the hours between sunrise and sunset. For this reason, many treasure hunters plan their trips to Pennsylvania for the summer months when the days are at their longest.]
