- A century-old mystery regarding lost Civil War gold bullion remains unsolved and a group of treasure hunters is waging a four-year ongoing legal batter to find some answers.
The latest accusations and further legal battle came after the FBI released some government records related to the treasure hunt. According to the documents and a video made by the FBI, sophisticated testing suggested something was buried in the area identified by Parada. In 2022, four years after excavating the area, the FBI acknowledged that it was looking for lost gold. The agency added that it did not find anything and it"continues to unequivocally reject any claims or speculation to the contrary.""We feel we were double-crossed and lied to," Parada said in an interview with Associated Press."The truth will come out."
Parada and his team, including Warren Getler, co-author of"Rebel Gold," a book exploring the possibility of buried Civil War-era caches of gold and silver, are using a series of photos provided by the FBI in their current court battle. Finders Keepers also noted that the FBI did not provide any video of the second day of the dig, nor did it provide any photos or videos of the 30-foot long, 12-foot deep trench that was dug. According to the AP, Government lawyers acknowledged these gaps in the image and video record but did not elaborate in a court filing last week.
