Now, he is taking his fight to federal court in a bid to uncover the truth.<\/p>\n<p>Dennis Parada spent\u2064 years tracking down a large cache of gold buried during the Civil War. However, once he finally located it, FBI agents swooped \u2064in, barred him from the dig site, and proceeded to unearth the gold themselves, only to later \u2062deny its existence.<\/p>\n<p>Parada claims that the gold, valued at over $500 million, was found in Dents Run, a rural community in\u2062 Elk County, Pennsylvania. The dig site was situated near the base of the Allegheny Mountains on the road to West Virginia, \u2063where a Union caravan carrying wagons filled with gold was ambushed by Confederate sympathizers in June 1863.<\/p>\n<p>Teaming up with \u2062his\u200d son and Warren Getler, \u200bthe author of a book on lost Civil War gold, Parada formed a company called Finders Keepers to legally pursue\u2063 the treasure. They suspect that a secretive \u2062group of Confederate sympathizers known as the Knights of the Golden Circle were responsible for the original gold heist and hid the gold to be delivered\u2064 to the\u200b Confederate government later on.<\/p>\n<p>Parada \u2063contacted officials at the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural\u200b Resources to report his findings and ensure a legitimate excavation.\u200b However, he became concerned when he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/treasure-hunter-says-he-found-500-million-civil-war-treasure-site-then-the-fbi-stole-it-out-from-under-him\/\" title=\"Treasure hunter discovers 0M Civil War site, FBI seizes it.\">caught state agents combing<\/a> through the \u2064woods, fearing they would seize the \u2064gold before he could conduct a proper dig.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, Parada and Getler met with the FBI to\u2064 prevent the state operatives from stealing \u200cthe \u200cgold. Unfortunately,\u200d this decision proved to be a mistake. The FBI used a detection machine called \u2062a microgravity meter and reported finding a large mass with a density suggestive of a significant quantity of gold buried in the \u2063ground.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these readings, the \u2064FBI claimed to \u200dhave found nothing during\u2063 their excavation. Parada, his son, and Getler were barred from the site and not allowed to witness the dig. Parada&#8217;s suspicions deepened when residents in a nearby town reported seeing a procession of armored cars and government vehicles traveling to and from the area in the middle of\u2062 the night.<\/p>\n<p>Parada and his team have filed a lawsuit \u200dagainst the FBI, alleging false statements, refusal to release requested documents under the\u2062 Freedom of Information Act, and tampering with photos \u200bto conceal their\u200d actions at Dents Run. \u200bThe FBI denies any wrongdoing, stating that no gold or evidence was found and that they \u2064only removed equipment and supplies brought for the dig.<\/p>\n<p>While there are unanswered questions and discrepancies in the FBI&#8217;s \u2064account, it is \u200cnot difficult to believe \u2062that the crooked FBI \u2062may have seized the gold that Parada worked so hard to find. It is disheartening to think that even \u200dwhen citizens\u200c like Parada try to do everything by the book and involve government officials, they may still face opposition from the \u2062very institutions meant \u200bto protect them.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/robert-kennedy-jr-says-overwhelming-evidence-suggests-cia-was-involved-in-jfk-assassination\/\" title=\"RFK Jr. claims CIA involved in JFK's death.\">truth remains elusive<\/a>, and the outcome of this legal battle will determine whether justice prevails or if the FBI successfully covered up\u2063 the discovery of a historic treasure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>down the location of the hidden Civil War gold in Pennsylvania&#8217;s woods.
