I had to wait for a few weeks before I could read this story without subscribing so it's a bit stale. But it really sucks for these TH to be stopped. . . maybe it was their name.  Smiley Sue

MISSING CIVIL WAR GOLD FOUND?
Treasure hunters think so; DCNR doesn't
By James Moate Endeavor News

After discovering what they believe to be the location of what could be millions of dollars worth of Civil War-era gold, a team of treasure hunters from Clearfield County, Finders Keepers Inc., has been shut down in its efforts to unearth the treasure.

Finders Keepers members believe a shipment of gold that came through this area in 1863 during the Battle of Gettysburg is located in Dent's Run, near the Cameron County border. According to reports, the wagon train full of gold and the soldier guarding it were known to have made it to St. Marys from Wheeling W.Va., but were never seen again.

Finders keepers would like to excavate the site and solve the mystery, but its on land owned by the Commonwealth, meaning the group, and its founder Dennis Parada, would have to surrender the treasure to the state.


Parada's group found artifacts at the site that they believe lends credence to their claims. They took the evidence to Pennsylvania's Dept. of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) and haven't seen it since.

"They took it all away from us," said Parada. "They took (the items) and sent them to Harrisburg right away for testing. They also told us that we had to stop digging or we'd all be arrested." . . . . .

Thanks for the post Sue...it's a real shame that things went the way they did for the group.
