The father-son duo spent years combing this bit of Pennsylvania wilderness with high-end metal detectors, drills and other tools to prospect for a fabled cache of Civil War gold. They felt certain they'd discovered the hiding place of the long-lost booty, leading the FBI to the mountainous, heavily wooded area last March.
Now, at the end of the court-sanctioned excavation, the FBI escorted the treasure hunters to the snow-covered site and asked them what they saw. They gazed at the pit. Not so much as a glimmer of gold dust, let alone the tons of precious metal they said an FBI contractor's instruments had detected.
"We were embarrassed," Dennis Parada told The Associated Press in his first interview since the well-publicized dig last winter. "They walk us in, and they make us look like dummies. Like we messed up."
Since that day, however, neighbors' accounts of late-night excavation and FBI convoys have fueled suspicions that the agency isn't telling the whole truth.

Our government no longer exists to serve "We, the people".
Their ENTIRE focus is control, extraction of our wealth, and surveillance of everyone.
They keep saying it's for our own good, but I look around and wonder what their definition of "our own good" is.....
Look at these guys. They DISCOVERED the site and led the FBI to it.
The FBI keeps them out of sight of the dig (WHY??).
We better start putting these people in their place, which is 3 feet off the ground, suspended by the neck.
It is the ONLY way we will prevail against the daily increase of pressure on OUR necks.
Keep cheering your total, absolute subjugation.
They messed up by hiring anyone from the outside as well as talking about it. It is their own fault. They trusted the government.
The FBI found it elsewhere and dug it up themselves?
