Treasure hunters who believe they found a huge cache of fabled Civil War-era gold in Pennsylvania are now on the prowl for something as elusive as the buried booty itself: government records of the FBI’s excavation.
Finders Keepers has filed a federal lawsuit against the Justice Department over its failure to produce documents on the FBI’s search for the legendary gold.
The dig took place in 2018 at a remote woodland site in northwestern Pennsylvania.
The FBI has long claimed the dig came up empty, but treasure hunters Dennis and Kem Parada aren't so sure.
