The FBI came out empty handed at the remote Pennsylvania site where Civil War-era gold treasure is rumored to be buried, officials said Monday.
Dozens of FBI agents, Pennsylvania state officials and members of a treasure-hunting group dug in a rural site where local lore has it that a Civil War-era gold shipment bound for a U.S. Mint in Philadelphia was either lost or hidden around the time of the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863.
President Abraham Lincoln reportedly ordered the shipment to pay Union Army soldiers, according to a local treasure-hunting group called Finders Keepers.
The FBI said it conducted a “court-authorized excavation” at the site, about 135 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, but did not reveal whether it was related to the legend of a lost treasure.
The agency added it did not find whatever it was looking for and will not be releasing any additional details, only noting that it was related to an “ongoing investigation.”
The 155-year-old legend caught the attention of the FBI after locals and officials went on a chase for the lost treasure. Some locals promised to pursue the rumored gold up until their death.

Where’s Gerlaldo?
Was there Russian collusion as far back as that time?
We already got it. Sorry losers.
Al Capone’s “secret” room is still empty.
I thought it was in a boxcar at the bottom of Lake Michigan!
I hear it’s in a pond.
The deployed team was the same which investigated Clinton emails. No wonder they dig and find nothing.
Has the FBI really gotten so pathetic that they need to send people out with shovels looking for lost gold?
What’s next - are they going to go after people who dubbed VHS tapes in 1982?
It is in Lake Michigan. Don’t they watch TV?
You jest but if they enforced the immigration laws like they enforced copyright laws we wouldn't need to build the wall...

So the vaunted FIB is now digging for long lost gold in Pennsylvania? What a clown show.
Thanks BBell.

Well, that’s true.
I forgot. It IS the FBI. That means they’re probably looking for something Donald Trump buried there when he was in school.
They could be looking for treasure, dirt on Trump, God knows what. What torques me off us this lazy reportage. Do a little digging for Pete’s sake. The Feebs are out there for something. Get the dang story.
The FBI needs curbing.
Everyone knows Rhett Butler got the Confederate gold.
Then again, FNC might have the real story and be spiking it.
Sigh.
