Did the FBI dig up a cache of lost Civil War gold worth about $400 million from a remote Pennsylvania forest nearly three years ago? It is still a mystery, but one that may be on its way to being solved.

Sounds like the Government to me. First error was pointing them to the site.
Dumb.....

 

That is not fact. The site is State Land. The Feds tried to do an end run, by having the U.S. Attorney obtain permission from a Federal Judge to excavate an area that may yield evidence that that the site was a cultural heritage site.
There are quite a few persons involved in this issue, and the "tip" supplier was a person doing research for the Government concerning elevation marker accuracy. This person stated he met a local fellow at a local bar that claimed he had a gold bar and the fed person saw it, and the story took off.

This is a daily topic in my area of the world, on the MD./PA. border area, and there are 3 major groups of sleuths/local historians that for the last couple of years take treks every couple of months or so. These groups know their Civil war history, and give and have given some interesting talks on this topic. There will be more stories and manipulations of whodunits, before we have any conclusion.

Good stuff.

 

The hell with it.
What a bunch of over officious Nazi garbage.

Baloney.

 

I believe that internet and message board cut-and-pastes do NOT violate copyright laws, as there is no commercial intent. Even though cutting and pasting 100% of the article might not be fair.

Agreed, that is best.

Also agree 100% that CT can set its own rules, regardless of U.S. Copyright Law.

 

This gets to the whole Google situation with newspapers (i.e., Australia).

I'm unaware of any lawsuits that try to sue cut-and-paste pieces in forums like this. If you tried to SELL someone's work without paying them, then I think that's different.

I'm not a lawyer or copyright expert, just going by 20+ years of internet history here.

 

I remember when all this happened. There was a lot of excitement and speculation.... Then the thing just dropped off the radar. Surely our government wouldn’t keep something that significant on the down low, would they?

 

Oh for crying out loud, anything as long as the Feds don't get the gold.......

 

Tell ya something..........if I ever made a discovery like that, I'd keep my mouth shut. What's wrong with these gommers spilling the beans?

 

Its a first for je to hear of this subject . But like they all say , the government doesnt like competition . So i suspect , they are keeping it low key to detour any attention on the subject matter in the area or in the news .

Just like the gold train that was found in poland and the government is keeping it under cover and avoiding in paying a finders fee ( and i am just guessing on that one ) . So if any of you arent aware of it , pasted a link below ( also want to mention , do not want to highjack a thread ) ;

No train found.....I saw the cable TV documentary.

 

+1,I don't think they found anything or did they?
