DUMBASS treasure hunter leads Feds to a 7 ton cache of lost gold, SHOCKED when they confiscate it in the middle of the night

He thought the federal government would do the right thing, after all we've been through? Good going, Mr "Finders Keepers". How did that appeal to authority work out for you?

“We feel we were double-crossed and lied to,” said Parada, co-founder of the treasure-hunting outfit Finders Keepers.

Fucking boomer faggot, next he will tell me about his good black friend, how his wife loves him and how the jew next door is a nice man great with the kids.

Yeah, what do you expect when +$300,000,000 worth of gold is just sitting in the ground?

Good professional treasure hunters only work where they can expect some reward.

They don't go digging up the UK because the government will just take your shit and leave you a pittance.

One thing you can do with a sunken ship, if you're discreet enough I guess, is find it but don't tell anyone where it is. Then you can have some negotiating power with whoever owns the gold. In general, however, it is the opposite of these guys' name the Finders Keepers.

It depends on what he knows. If he were a real threat, the FBI would have just killed him off by now and we'd have never heard of this in the first place. What the FBI (and their kike masters) would rather do is make a person poor and destitute.

LMAO.

7 tons of gold is worth about $350,000,000

That is literally less than two minutes of the US federal budget.

Most likely it was never "recovered" and just divvied up to all the corrupt people, which means everyone probably got a $1k bonus or something LMAO.

[ - ] Broc_Liath 0 points 1.2 yearsFeb 19, 2023 23:26:06 ago (+0/-0)

1k each means there were 350,000 people involved. I get the government is inefficient, but it doesn't take that many guys to dig a hole.

[ - ] localsal 0 points 1.2 yearsFeb 20, 2023 01:13:26 ago (+0/-0)

What I said was that it was divided up to "all the corrupt people", not just those that were at the dig...

Nancy surely wants her share, as do all the kikes in government, etc....

I'm sure there are at least 350,000 of them.

Even if they had to bribe their immediate superior and maybe a couple of tiers above him, I doubt this would have amounted to more than 50 people. Keeping a secret among 50 people is hard, keeping a secret among almost half a million is ridiculous.

I am disappointed that nobody is actually telling what the article says.

A "consulting firm" found a "mass" that was suggestive of gold...

No treasure hunter found it.

Then the FBI dug up the "mass" and documented it, but isn't disclosing what was found.

The main protagonist in the article is someone suing the FBI for all of their documents on what they found.

Voat can't understand the difference??? very sad.

[ - ] BlueEyedAngloMasterRaceGod 4 points 1.2 yearsFeb 19, 2023 20:05:54 ago (+4/-0)

the irony. you obviously didn't read it properly. he and his son found it. they own their own gay company, but it's really just them two. they then told the fbi and guided them to the site. the fbi then got the geo consulting firm to verify if there was something down there. confirmed, fbi then dug it and took it. the boomer was simply too scared to dig himself and get in trouble with the local council, or maybe it required special machinery and he was too dumb to bribe someone

[ - ] Darwintroll 1 point 1.2 yearsFeb 19, 2023 20:45:15 ago (+1/-0)

I read another article that corroborates this point. They did in fact behave foolishly. Yes it's easy to say this not being a professional. However, they were searching for this trove for years. And instead of forming secondary or tertiary plans they just hailed the fed. Foolish maneuver thinking the fed would do the grunt work and pay them ith a"finders fee". Instead they got fucked and now they're being gas-lighted.

[ - ] bonghits4jeebus -1 points 1.2 yearsFeb 19, 2023 20:15:06 ago (+0/-1)

Yeah but the evidence anything taken was gold is "trust me bro" and local legends.

[ - ] Broc_Liath 0 points 1.2 yearsFeb 19, 2023 23:24:54 ago (+0/-0)

So they were keeping him away from the site and secretly digging at night just to find a rusty licence plate?

[ - ] bonghits4jeebus 0 points 1.2 yearsFeb 20, 2023 00:53:42 ago (+0/-0)

While we're doing whole non-sequiturs, I think he should get his records. Then maybe he will be able to show where the gold is.

I will say that the FBI "acting like dicks" being secretive and trying not to release records is unsurprising. They act like that whether they have something to cover up or not.

[ - ] Broc_Liath 0 points 1.2 yearsFeb 20, 2023 08:07:21 ago (+0/-0)

That's a bit like saying "hey, you have footage of these guys breaking into your car, show us where the stolen items are or nothing happens."

He doesn't have to show where they hid the gold or prove it exists, all he has to do is prove they were digging when they claimed they weren't. If they found nothing then why would they hide digging activity.

[ - ] bonghits4jeebus 0 points 1.2 yearsFeb 20, 2023 17:26:34 ago (+0/-0)

No this is like saying the police stole gold out of my car and now I want cash compensation. You have to show that there was gold.

Can you explain the difference between those please?

If there was no gold, why would the FBI try to keep him away from the dig site and lie about digging at night? If they dug a hole and found nothing they'd just show him the hole and say "yeah we dug all night and there was nothing there."

The fact that they tried to cover up some of their excavations suggests they did find something.

[ - ] bonghits4jeebus 1 point 1.2 yearsFeb 20, 2023 22:56:49 ago (+1/-0)

I don't think we disagree too much. I want to know where the gold is too.

[ - ] localsal -1 points 1.2 yearsFeb 19, 2023 20:21:46 ago (+0/-1)

Maybe I read English a bit different than most, but the story doesn't make sense.

Here are some quotes - feel free to clarify exactly what the author means.

"Parada and his son spent years looking for the gold of Dents Run, eventually guiding the FBI to a remote woodland site 135 miles north-east of Pittsburgh where they say instruments identified a large quantity of metal."

Who is the "they"? Is that Pittsburgh? (the last noun stated after the comma) or is that the FBI? (the last subject noun after the comma) or is it Parada? (the first subject noun in the sentence/paragraph). With only one comma, the "they" would seem to refer to the last proper subject mentioned - the FBI.

If "they" was supposed to refer to Parada, wouldn't the quote read:
Parada and his son spent years looking for the gold of Dents Run, eventually guiding the FBI to a remote woodland site 135 miles north-east of Pittsburgh big comma where they say instruments identified a large quantity of metal.

Did Parada lead them to the area, like "oh, hey, here is a treasure map with X marked on it. But remember I actually found it"

Or did he just say "here is where it looks like it is". and then let the FBI do all the work?

"Residents have told of hearing a backhoe and jackhammer overnight, when the dig was supposed to have been paused, and seeing FBI vehicles including large armored trucks. The FBI has denied it conducted an overnight dig."

Is this 1900?? Where is the video?

"Oh look, Helen, our totally remote and rural dirt road suddenly has dozens of FBI trucks passing through."

"Ah, forget it, Ralph, nothing to worry about."

We have seen hundreds of balloon videos, yet nobody in the area had enough foresight or common sense to video streams of FBI vehicles? Retarded redneck Americans LMAO

[ - ] BlueEyedAngloMasterRaceGod 1 point 1.2 yearsFeb 19, 2023 20:34:12 ago (+1/-0)

they own their own gay finders company so i daresay they have sophisticated metal detectors. they obviously found it first then told the fbi who brought their own instruments and confirmed, then called in the consulting firm to get a proper confirmation before arranging the dig.

[ - ] localsal 0 points 1.2 yearsFeb 19, 2023 20:40:46 ago (+0/-0)

Probably good assumptions, but totally not clear from the article as I mentioned.

And most likely not metal detectors.

It would have to be ground penetrating radar or something similar to distinguish the size and density of the "mass" and calculate what it is and how much it could weigh, along with pointing out exactly where to dig. Metal detectors do not do that.

[ - ] Broc_Liath 0 points 1.2 yearsFeb 19, 2023 23:31:40 ago (+0/-0)*

Who is the "they"? Is that Pittsburgh? (the last noun stated after the comma) or is that the FBI? (the last subject noun after the comma) or is it Parada? (the first subject noun in the sentence/paragraph).

It's very obviously Parada.

Parada and his son spent years looking for the gold of Dents Run, eventually guiding the FBI to a remote woodland site 135 miles north-east of Pittsburgh big comma where they say instruments identified a large quantity of metal.

Yes, it would read better with that comma, but grammarnaziing aside the meaning of the sentence is still obvious.

Or did he just say "here is where it looks like it is". and then let the FBI do all the work?

He detected a metal mass (and presumably did other work with historical records)

Then he called the FBI for permission to dig and collect the finder's fee

Is this 1900?? Where is the video?

Have you ever been in the mountains? You can hear things miles away you have no line of sight with.

I'm downvoting because your reading comprehension issues and lack of critical thinking skills aren't relevant to the topic.

Why would locals be standing on every intersection filming passing vehicles in case one of them belongs to the FBI? Do you think they drive around with low loaders and JCBs marked "hi, it's the feds"?

It's not unusual to see large vehicles in rural areas, no one is going to be just randomly filming them. It is absolutely unusual to hear them operating in the middle of the night, that is something people very much would take note of.

[ - ] localsal 0 points 1.2 yearsFeb 20, 2023 01:06:28 ago (+0/-0)

LMAO.

You make so many assumptions and have no common sense either.

First off, the kike writer is to blame for being a lazy filthy kike - but that is to be expected.

First you say "mountains" and now you are backtracking to say "rural". Which is it? Mountains have much different traffic patterns than rural, don't they? or do you not know because you have never left an urban area?

"Residents have told of hearing a backhoe and jackhammer overnight, when the dig was supposed to have been paused, and seeing FBI vehicles including large armored trucks. "

These are "residents" - they know what is expected and what isn't. Also, if they SEE the vehicles, why are they such retarded rednecks to not take video? See my point? Retarded rednecks. And "unusual" is definitely not random.

How about this:
"Parada obtained the video and other FBI records through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. He was mostly kept from the dig site and now suspects the agency conducted a clandestine overnight dig"

What does "mostly" mean?

And obviously the guy was not there for the gold itself:
"Solving the mystery is not his only goal. He also hoped to earn a finder’s fee from the recovery of hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of gold."

So what does this redneck retard do when he is kept "mostly" away from the dig? He probably - an assumption - talks to the locals, who now know something big is going on.

If these locals are living in such a remote area, they probably also have a lot of time on their hands - why wouldn't they keep track of and monitor all the in and out traffic? Really boggles the mind.

Or this entire article could be one in a similar vein of "Curse of Oak Island" where they have milked the network for 10 years trying to dig out the well. LMAO.

Give me your best shot using your "critical thinking" skills.

LMAO.

That was my disappointment too.

My immediate reaction was:
"Yep, sounds like the FBI. Treasure hunter digs up 7 tons of gold, puts all the gold in 8 trucks, and by morning the FBI drove in and stole it all"

Then I read the article and nothing sounded like I imagined from the headline.

It also sounds like no matter who found it, the gold would still be considered US property, although anyone helping to return it would be entitled to a "finder's fee".

Seems like the entire article is about the finder's fee and nothing about actually stealing the gold. Is it really stealing to take your own property? (aside from the fact that most government property is acquired by stealing something to begin with).
