10. SOUNDBITE (English) Dennis Parada, Finders Keepers:
“I went back the day after they dug with all my equipment and we didn’t get no more gold or silver readings. A week or two before that, we had plenty of gold and silver readings. So hey, I believe it’s gold.”
11. Dennis Parada displaying several large drill bits, with UPSOUND (English):
“These are the first drill bits we had made up for digging mud in the cave. They’re mud bits, we call them. They’re big ones. But we have drill bits like this made up, 12 feet long, for going through all kinds of stone, going through metal. I’d say there’s just all kinds here.”
12. SOUNDBITE (English) Dennis Parada, Finders Keepers: “For the last six to eight months, my attorneys have been getting photographs and information from the FBI files. And I’ve gone over everything from day one. To me, it was like a joke. Everything I’m seeing just does not fit.”

“If they say this was taken at 6.45, you can’t have sun, highlights, shadows, and no snow, and say that was taken at 6:45, minutes before total darkness, and it was after a snow storm? This rock is still bare. That was before the snow storm.”
16. SOUNDBITE (English) Dennis Parada, Finders Keepers:
“I believe the documents and the photographs and everything they gave us was to cover up their tracks about a night dig and taking everything out of the hillside.”
17. Cutaway of Dennis Parada pointing at computer screen.
18. SOUNDBITE (English) Dennis Parada, Finders Keepers:
“We feel we were double crossed and lied to. And we’re going to get to the end of this. The truth will come out.”
Producer: “How?”
Dennis Parada, Finders Keepers: “Whatever it takes. I will never stop. I will stick at this until the end. Until I know everything that happened to that gold. How much? Where it went to? Who has it now? I gotta know.”
19. Cutaway of Dennis Parada looking at computer.

You find gold next time just keep it to your self and melt it down and make your own gold bars.. im shocked you would call them in the first place..
Why would you call the authorities!!???
I have no sympathy for the idiots who decided to report the finding to the government. Shits been in the ground for over 150 years and no one gave af about it but you, so keep it
They found it aint no way they they dug for no reason . Also notice how that agent or whoever that was kept saying "Government property" caise hes trying to state its theres . I feel bad for this guy he did all the dirty work for years just to get double Crossed and now has to waste all these years that he should be living lavish having to try to prove this bs now. This is a dangerous game for him aswell these ppl will make him disappear and say it was a suicide or something.
Of course they found it they need to give this guy a finders fee
If you every find gold, especially huge amounts of it. 1st rule: Keep your F'n mouth shut! Dig at night, as secretly as possible, melt it down yourself into smaller pieces. Sell it in small amounts at many different locations, over time. Then you might have a chance of keeping it. Again, "Keep your mouth shut!" That seem's to be the hardest part for people, that find gold & tresure.
There's way too many people above the law
Typical.Our government gets rich off our sweat and hard work.Smh
Hope he don't kill himself he's ain't getting shit
Well, 10% of the value of the Gold bars recovered don't legally belong to the U.S. Govt. It belongs to the individual or group of individuals who found it, which, wasn't the FBI or anyone else associated with the Govt.
They never had the resources or the evidence to support any dedicated search for rumored Civil War era treasure at Dent's Run, PA,
That was until the Pareda's located the unmistakably dense gold tonnage with ground penetrating equipment, after looking for it for thirty years.
Not fair .🥺 Prayers for the guy that found it.
Sooo much thanks to the guy who found it.....
Only a fool will find gold and report it to the FBI. I have zero sympathy for fools, even honest, hard working, and well meaning fools. A fool is a fool. He gives a new meaning to the term "fool's gold"
He could’ve bought a new truck and a ranch or something in Texas
the fbi stole the gold
Here’s an angle…
Find out if those loads were insured ….
If they found it and were paid insurance $$ way back then and then kept it…. After finding it….
That would be blatantly illegal…..
I have 0 idea if govt takes out insurance back then
You should of kept it to yourself!!!!! What did you think would happen? They would give it to you and throw you a tinker tape parade
There’s more
I love my country but i believe i hate it even more!
Then leave
@benjaminrose6878 I think you got me mistaken. I love my country with all my heart, but mfrs like you who just want to fold the knee to a government who doesn't do anything for us except steal and take our rights. I'm sure when us true patriots finally take a stand I'll see someone like you on the other side and you will be the one who has to leave. Don't ever tell me to leave.
The. South will rise again between the Allegheny & lake Erie... General Beurguard
Aye next time keep ya mouth shut
They’re won’t be a next time this was a once in a lifetime opportunity
