The FBI might not have found any Civil War-era gold at a remote woodland site in Pennsylvania - but it's definitely got records of the agency's 2018 dig, and will soon have to turn them over to a father-son pair of treasure hunters.
A federal judge has ordered the FBI to speed up the release of records about the search for the legendary gold, ruling Monday in favor of Finders Keepers, the treasure hunting outfit that led FBI agents to the remote site. The group accuses the Justice Department of slow-walking their request for information.
The FBI must turn over 1,000 pages of records per month, starting in 30 days, and the first batch of records must include a key report sought by Finders Keepers, U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta ordered.

It's only been 4 years. What's the hurry?
These people probably whine when it takes the IRS 45 minutes to pick up the phone (if you're lucky)...
More exploits of the FIB!
Lol. Any gold found is long gone.
Interesting.
Has anyone seen James Comey lately?
There is a good book on this subject called rebel gold. It is several years old but the guy who wrote it has found a lot of gold. I have to say it is somewhat of a rabbit hole, the book had me searching out civil war Era newspapers and a obscure book called Jessie James was one of his names(some call it the treasure hunters Bible).
It says this was Union gold, would that be covered in the book?
I remember reading or seeing something about this a few years back.
They told the feds about it, thinking the feds were gonna be honorable about it. Instead they were chased out and denied access to their site plus any progress updates. Shut out completely.
Maybe a good thing, the IRS would have taken over and tried to collect 157 years of back taxes and interest.
What is the title of the book? I once read an article about the missing treasure buried by John Singleton Mosby’s men.

Those crooks never want to turn over anything 🤪
Interesting. There are several stories of gold from long past that has gone missing in PA.
Records? What records?
