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

 

[3cylbill]

Look ...I've apologized once why are you berating me ...would you like to meet and talk about your problem with me..... I live not to far from dents run we could meet there. Let me know.... please tell me what double umm umm means..

Now that is just being petty over stupid internet stuff! Likely minutes from now, this thread will vanish. Let it go man.

Trying to Get Members to Do You One Favor on One Thread is apparenly a Lost Cause

I realize you have a lot invested in this tale, Jeff, to keep stirring the pot here, so please don’t take this personally.

No matter how many times you polish a turd, it’s still a turd.

I don’t know your motive, and don’t want to. But surely you know that when you stir up crap it’s going to stink. Expecting the air to smell like roses because you tell it to is unreasonable, and highly unlikely. You may be setting your expectations too high.

I Have absolutely Nothing 'invested' in this. I Would Just Like to Have a Clean (NO FIGHTS ! ) Post on the Event.

One where Updates , If they occur & No one gets accused !
so they have no Fear !
I Thought this could Happen in the PA Section , But

Why is That Not Possible ?

I Am tempted to Start Nuking Posts , But I Prefer not to .

Then why don’t you just make your post a sticky in the PA section and close it for replies. Seems simple enough.

You can nuke replies as well I suppose, if it makes you feel better. You’ve obviously done it before. Too bad we all can’t do that, isn’t it?

How long has this topic caused friction on with site? Are we approaching a decade? I remember when new posts about this topic were strongly discouraged if not outright prohibited. I appreciated the entertainment of the video, but the outcome isn’t unexpected. You have name calling and a call out to “settle things” face to face. Nuke the thread already. You cannot be that bored. The video didn’t provide anything new that we all didn’t already read. That’s said respectfully by the way.

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

I get amused easily. "Machine gun toting agents" conjured images of Depression-era G-men in dapper suits wielding Tommy guns. People rarely use the term "machine gun" any more unless they're older than dirt. And, no, there's no evidence that the FBI was toting around automatic weapons, and certainly not "4 dozens machine gun toting agents." In all the photos I've seen of the FBI at the site I've seen no weapons. I'd be surprised if at least a few weren't toting sidearms, and that they had quick access to some more serious firepower in case the gold was actually found. But to suggest that the place was crawling with machine gun toting agents is just wrong.

I've wondered about this, whether you are personal friends with the Paradas or maybe have invested money in their hunt. Because this is pretty much the only topic I've ever seen where you are super-defensive of one side of the story. People seem to be free to argue over any other treasure legend but not this one, which also makes me wonder why you would start a new thread on it if you don't want any debate.

Two gold bars were found in this map area by Jack

Two gold bars were found in this map area by Jack Schall. The rusted gun parts were found by me at the area marked ambush site. 10 foot from the ambush site is a pipeline that was not covered over. When they were digging that trench skeletons were uncovered. That was kept quite so as not to interrupt the dig.That is fact. I moved to Arizona before I could finish searching the site. Go at it. There is a lot to this story I don't have time to go into.

Great idea. Telling a mod you think he’s compromised. 🤦‍♂️

Carl , I Don't Know Gun Types However Till today I Could have Sworn,
on the News Reports
Some of the Feds were carrying Semi-auto's .
I Cannot Find one Pic to Prove it

If Not Security,

Mandela Effect maybe, or parallel Existance

I Consider Myself a Friend of the Paradas !
the Same way I Consder Myself Your Fiend and the Others here.

Parada is a Member of This forum, When I See a member being accused
of lying about a treasure they are Presently Working on. I Get Involved.

All My Life I Have Championed the Underdog so to Speak

add to That the Inconstencies with the FBI even Showing up in Force
& The obvious Amount of Money Spent By All sides Makes The Paradas the 'underdog' imo

I hope that Explaines

 

[Tnmountains]

All I know is that Finders Keepers was bashed heavily by members on this site while it was going on. Looks as if the truth may never be known.
What an adventure though.

He didn't say I was notice the word "Wondered"

Though I Cringe sometimes Carl gets Involved sorry carl
I Also have great Respect for his Knowledge & Cant Argue his Points

I clashed with him back in the day, RE LRL's and those who Believed,
it's Not that I Think LRL's Work.
I Was Sticking up for the Underdogs who Did.
But Carl always Kept an Even Temper

 

[sgtfda]

It should be noted Jacks gold bars were painted with black tar. He found the first one sticking up out of the dirt after kicking it while walking. The area has only a few inches to top soil then rock. A lot of ironstone in the area. Screws with those deep seeking units. That is what screws up Dennis Prada. I don't believe for a minute there was gold in that hole. There is a lot to that story also. Jack was a friend and we talked often about what Dennis was up to. Jack was worried that Dennis would find the rest of the missing bars. All I know is what Jack found. In Arizona I had to move on to silver bars and gold nuggets
