<p>[QUOTE=&quot;charley, post: 7317610, member: 5372&quot;]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.</p><p>There are quite a few persons involved in this issue, and the &quot;tip&quot; supplier was a person doing research for the Government concerning elevation marker accuracy.&nbsp; 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.</p><p><br /></p><p>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. </p><p><br /></p><p>Good stuff.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
