The Confessionals - 397: The Lost Gold Of Dents Run
Episode Date: December 7, 2021In Episode 397: The Lost Gold of Dents Run, we are joined by Kem and Den Parada, a father-and-son treasure hunting duo based out of Pennsylvania. Back in the 1970s, Den was on the hunt for a lost Civi...l War treasure made up of 52 gold bars that went “missing” while being transported from Virginia to Philadelphia. In today’s currency, the gold bars were estimated to be worth close to $400,000,000, which would be the largest buried treasure recovered in U.S. history. One day when Den was at work, a psychic entered the store, found his way over to Den, and ended up revealing a location where he believed Den would find the gold. This encounter set off a nearly 50-year-long search for the Civil War treasure. After investing so much time and effort into their endeavor, the Paradas had the treasure pegged and proceeded to follow proper legal means of recovering it. They called in the F.B.I. and believed everything was aboveboard and ready to unearth the treasure of a lifetime – but they soon regretted it all when government agencies moved in under the cover of night and stole the gold out from under them. Kem and Den tell us everything about their incredible story, from how they found the gold, to government agencies trying to derail their efforts, to disclosing that they know where more gold is stashed – and this time they plan to get it.Become a member for AD FREE listening and EXTRA shows: theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinMAILING ADDRESS:STE 36188 Glocker Way,Pottstown, PA 19465WHO SAW THE MEN IN BLACKAmazon Prime: https://amzn.to/3oknNM6Other Playing Platforms: https://geni.us/WhoSawTheMenInBlackSPONSORSGET Cerebral: getcerebral.com/tonyGET SIMPLISAFE TODAY: simplisafe.com/confessionalsGET Hello Fresh: hellofresh.com/confessionals14 Promo Code: "confessionals14" for 14 FREE MEALS!!!GET ACORN.TV: acorn.tv/ Promo Code: "tony" (Code must be applied in all lowercase letters!)Get Emergency Food Supplies: www.preparewiththeconfessionals.comGet Beard Oil: bit.ly/2FbOhN5CONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: theconfessionalspodcast@gmail.comSubscribe to the Newsletter: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/the-newsletter SOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube: https://bit.ly/2TlREaITikTok: @theconfessionalsDiscord: https://discord.gg/KDn4D2uw7h Show Instagram: theconfessionalspodcastTony's Instagram: tonymerkelofficialFacebook: www.facebook.com/TheConfessionalsPodcast Twitter: @TConfessionals Tony's Twitter: @tony_merkel

We can talk
Yeah, the FBI didn't get all the gold
attention
No!
Yeah, hey, we can talk about this in part too
if you want.
Yes.
Agent Archer on site said to me,
Denny, you're staring up at that mouth.
What are you looking at?
I said, there's another cave up here
with just as much cool.
He goes, where is it?
I said, Jake, you screw me on this one?
You won't get the other one.
And since the last three years,
we've been keeping our mouth shut.
Wow.
Okay?
We were. We plan on going back to spring.
Yeah. So this whole thing's going to happen again.
This was all circulating around the base that a giant had to kill, but no one was supposed to talk about it.
I saw three long, bony fingers, reach up underneath the door, curl up to grab it, and then disappear.
When he came over to me, dude, he slithered over to me.
And this giant comes out of the cave and they're all frozen.
and he starts running and firing at this giant.
Well, the giant moves.
He's got a spear in one hand, and he's running really fast.
It spears, Dan, holds him up like this.
Somebody else, shoot him in the face, shoot him in the face.
They basically decapitated.
Got closer, got closer, got closer, got closer, got closer,
when he got about 15 yards away from me,
I raised that 12 days and I blow this head up.
Feel something pulling at my leg, and I look over, and there are two,
small gray
and the teeth
pulling it.
And they're literally,
I'm getting pulled off the bed.
I reached my hand
into this bush
and I touch air.
Couldn't breathe
and I couldn't move
because I know I'm seeing
a monster.

Now, this week, we have Kim and Den coming on the show.
They are our father-son duo, treasure-hunting duo,
and I'm really excited about talking to them about their treasure hunting journey
because I've been aware of their story for quite some time.
I'm finally talking to them, but their story is one for the ages,
because they located a lost old treasure from the Civil War,
and they actually went through the proper channels to try uncovering this treasure,
I'm talking mountains of gold.
And the way they found the lost treasure was very interesting.
It has a paranormal angle to it.
And then we have the conspiratorial angle because there's a big cover-up because somebody stole the freaking gold.
And I'm going to let these guys tell you all about it right now.
All right.
Today, we got a great show plan for everybody.
We have Kim and Dennis coming here from Finders Keepers, USA.
How are you guys doing?
Hey, pretty good.
Doing good.
guys listen we just got done talking a little bit here and i i'm really having a hard time containing my
excitement because i i told like i told you guys treasure hunting is something that i have been
very fascinated with from a very young age and it's just something that i've recently started
to get back into as far as like just reading about different lost treasures legends and
things like that and you guys are legit 100% real deal treasure hunters and this
is a generational thing because, Kim, you're Dennis' son. And Dennis, you've been doing this
for a long time. And you guys are the focal point in my mind of a real deal lost treasure
that was found. And there's a conspiracy right now going on about it. And dare I say,
a cover up of what's going on. And so when I stone across your stuff, guys, I had to have you on.
And I'm so excited you're here.
And so what we're going to do is I want to just start off from the beginning of this,
the legend of the gold at Dent's Run.
How did it get there?
Why was it there?
What was going on?
And then we'll transition into Dennis and how you got involved and looking for this
and how you found Dent's run because there's a real paranormal angle with that.
And I think the audience is going to be very interested in.
And then we'll fast forward to Kim and how he kind of revived the search for.
this and how the FBI got involved and all that stuff. So if you guys want, I don't care who wants to go,
if it's Dennis or whatever, but what is the legend of this lost gold and why did you even
think it existed? What was it? Back in 1860, 63? The 1860s, yeah. Well, the magazine came out
in 1974. And it was the first public publishing.
that talked about this gold shipment.
Nobody's found anything before that,
but I guess the wagon train of gold was down in Virginia.
It came by train from California to Virginia.
The war of Gettysburg.
Gettysburg was about to happen,
and instead of going straight across Pennsylvania
to the Philadelphia Mint,
they decided to do it on a wagon train
and go up north, come down through
Pennsylvania to
Gettysburg or to Philadelphia.
It's just a big
enough arch through Pennsylvania to avoid
the battle Gettysburg breaking out.
And it just disappeared, hijacked.
They didn't know what happened to it.
The story was after they left St. Mary's,
it was two wagons with false
bottoms, 26 bars of gold and each
wagons. That's 52 bars of gold.
None of the soldiers knew about
the gold except for
the lieutenant,
Castleton.
And at the time, they had a civilian guide with them known as Conners and all the reports that's always ever known as.
And around St. Mary's, Councilton got sick and he started talking.
He knew he wasn't going to make the trip the whole way through.
And he started telling everybody the soldiers about the gold and that the wagon train has to make it.
And after that, after the left St. Mary's, they were never seen from again.
Conner. Connors. Yeah, Connors took over the travel range.
but Connors couldn't read or write, and that was a big problem.
So he got lost up in the mountains.
He couldn't follow maps.
And it's an interesting story.
It really is.
But, yeah, they never got found.
Nobody.
Well, a few weeks later, Connor staggered into Lock Haven.
Yeah.
And claimed that they were all ambushed and the gold was stolen and it was all just gone, taken off.
And nobody ever found the gold.
There were Pinkerton soldiers.
agents, Pinkerton agents that were sent out disguised as lumberjacks and prospectors and hunters and stuff to look for the gold.
And it was documented they found half a bar here or half a bar there, but they never actually found all the gold bars.
Conners was sent out west to an Indian reservation.
The reason they brought in the Pinkerton, Lincoln brought to Pinkerton is because they didn't believe the story about Connors saying that the Copperheads
which was a southern group of people hijacked them.
The reason being there was 130 to 160 people that lived in Denshra.
And if you're in that mountain area, you can hear a mosquito fort 10 feet away.
I mean, that is so quiet up there.
If you had two wagon loads with 13 soldiers and they had guns
and you're being ambushed by the copperheads, you're looking at another 13 guns,
you're looking at 26 rifles being shot off, yet nobody heard anything.
There was no sound.
So if there was no sound, there could have been any hijacking, as Connors has talked about.
But since the bars were cut up, certain things happened, they figured he hit it somewhere.
They kept him in the army for the rest of his life until he died.
But now when he was out at the Indian Reservation out west, every time he got drunk, he used to brag.
You knew where the gold was buried.
Yuma, Arizona, they shipped him to out there, and he died at 1883, I think it was.
He was buried there at the fort in Yuma.
Then they shipped all the dead soldiers, bodies over to the Golden Gate Bridge.
And he's underneath it now.
Wow.
Wow.
So this legend of the gold, I just let people know if they haven't connected the dots yet,
I would call you a local treasure hunters to me.
You're in Pennsylvania on the other side of the state.
but this is also why I'm very fascinated by the story, I think, because it is so close to me.
But this is Civil War treasure that had to get to Philadelphia, or Civil War gold, that had to get to Philadelphia.
So they arch up around Gettysburg, which means that they have to kind of go into Northern PA,
northern central PA to come back down in the Philly, just to avoid the war and the fight.
And the gold gets lost.
and you guys through, you know, just learning about the story, reading about it.
And I guess it sounds like other people came to the same conclusion that, you know,
this was actually stashed gold.
It wasn't, you know, stolen or anything like that.
And so the hunt was on for where this stashing happened.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Lost my train of thought there where I was going with this.
but, you know, it was all kept wide.
You know, a lot of people don't know,
but there was another gold shipment that went missing back then,
and that's why Abraham Lincoln kept this all quiet.
The nine tons, it's not just from one shipment,
it's from many shipments.
It's a depository, which a lot of people never understood.
They said there's no way two wagons could have carried nine tons
and they think we're nuts.
But the FBI was the one.
They came up with nine tons, not us.
But just many robberies in the Pennsylvania area.
It's a cool series of stuff, over a five-year period.
Wow.
Yeah, I mean, just, I mean, well, the 52 bars of gold, though, from back then.
Wasn't there a gold shipment?
Well, it was a gold shipment to disappear.
Yeah.
What happened right after he arrived in Lock Haven,
President Lincoln sent out a letter to California.
to the governor out there, he's afraid that if the public caught wind, we lost that much gold,
like they did with the atosha down there in the ocean, years before the atosia sunk with so much gold,
they almost bankrupt our country.
So they didn't want no more shipments going by ocean.
They want them to come by train.
But when he found out, Lincoln found out that this shipment disappeared, he had to ask for the governor to assure,
how much more tons of gold he could be depending on in the next year or two because of the battle
with the south. And we got the letters coming back, how much the guarantees and the pledges
were from the other gold mines, which was quite a bit. But there was a lot of gold being shipped
through, and a lot of it didn't make it to the mint. Yeah. So yeah, that's why I was gone with that.
That's why there's not a lot of documentation and why everything was kept quiet for over 100 years.
Well, yeah, well, they erased everything.
They don't want nobody to know about this because they don't want to bankrupt the country,
so they erased everything fast.
But the bad thing is, here in Clearfield, there was the Inquisition and the courthouse caught on fire.
So those papers are gone.
And Ohio, the Pinkerton, Chicago burnt, and all their papers were gone.
So it seems like there was no, with everybody trying to keep this thing hushed up,
There was no, nobody could find out the truth.
But they weren't looking at the right place.
So in 1974, all you had was this magazine article that you were going off of.
Yep.
And so in 1974, you're reading up on this magazine article about this,
trying to find out this some, you know, if it was a legit story, you know, if there's any facts to it.
I decided to go after the two Pinkerton guys.
They stayed there their entire lives.
And I'm sure all their paperwork and their files, when they died in Benazette, which is right
next to the Dentron, I figured their files had to go somewhere.
I'm sure nobody just burned all these paperwork up.
And I went to the archives, and I hired people to go into the archives in Harrisburg, and
I got through those stories.
And that's how I started my search.
And that's what the FBI read all that paperwork.
And they went back and located each person I hired, and I worked.
with and they backtrack that story to the very beginning. And that's why they ended up on that
mountain too. We found the actual truth that the story was true. Wow. So before we get into
this magazine and everything that happened from there, are you saying that there's other legends
then of lost treasure in PA from that time period that have still yet to be found that you
believe is actually out there? Yes. Wow. Yes. Yes.
Well, there's a, there's a lot more. A lot. Okay. We'll get to that to the end. There's a lot.
Try to do this in a chronological order, so it makes sense. When they were heading this direction,
the confederate, you had banks take money out of town in Altoona places. Yeah, everybody was stashed
and they're bored into ground, yep.
Jeez. You know, I was literally thinking about moving out of Pennsylvania, heading to Tennessee
within the next year or so. I might be sticking around. It might actually just move out to your area
and hang out with you guys for a few years.
Raise my kids with some treasure hunters, real treasure hunters.
Listen, all right.
So let's get back to this magazine article that you guys kind of hit on.
So, Dennis, you were working and you and some of your friends, right, from what I understand,
some of your friends were talking about this and kind of just brainstorming about where
this treasure could be.
And somebody came into the store that kind of helped you find it.
Is that how this all worked?
on the weekends we'd go out with metal detectors simple metal detectors nothing special
back in 1974 you didn't have much technology back and we'd just go to broken down camps and
just look for nickel-dime quarters you know beaches simple stuff but uh i worked at w t grants
which is something more like a walmart and i was in the furniture department and uh one of my guys
or i bought a book and it was a treasure hunting book and on the front page it's uh we have it downstairs
it showed this lost gold in Pennsylvania.
Now, up until this point, you weren't allowed to own gold from the World War II up until now.
It was illegal because of, I don't know, it's a long story there.
But now I guess it was legal to own gold.
And they said in there there was a 10% reward out for anybody that could find the Denshwin lost gold.
And so we got into reading the story on it.
And it was just sitting on the table.
A couple of days later, a psyche came into dense run.
To WT. Grants.
W.T. Grants.
And we were told to stay at our areas and sell furniture.
And I didn't believe in psychics.
And I seen this guy off to the front of the store and he was up high.
And all the people were crowned around him.
Using them as a promotional gig.
Yeah, promotion.
And he had several, many WT grants across the United States.
he was on tour.
And I didn't believe any of his stuff.
Well, when he got on his lunch break, whatever there,
he came down and walked directly to our furniture department.
And he sat right down at the table we had,
where we wrote up our cells.
And there was like five or six salespeople around me.
And I stood behind Mike and the other guys were in front of Mike.
Mike now is his name, the psychic.
And they were talking to him, not about treasure hunting at first.
It was just everything in general with his promotion.
And Mike reached over and grabbed the magazine.
It was laying on the table and he was page and threw it.
And my one friend, I can't think of his name either.
But he says, have you ever tried to look up treasure hunts or anything like that?
And he says, no, mostly lost people, lost objects.
But he says, I'll try the treasure hunt.
And he opened up the pages and he was speed reading right through the magazine because I'm behind, I can see all this going on.
And I'm thinking, what a joke.
This is ridiculous.
And then he shut the magazine and he tilted his head up a little bit.
His voices were coming out of his mouth.
And from what I recall, it's like three different voices of somebody talking.
And I didn't realize it was the dead soldiers from the dead.
run and gold shipment at the time.
I heard him saying they're hungry,
they're starving or something like that.
They're lost.
I don't know.
I wish I could remember the whole conversation.
Until this day, I wish I could.
I wasn't paying up much attention.
And then when he came out of this trance
that everybody was looking at him,
he came out of the trance,
and he grabbed my Atlas, it was there,
and he wanted an ink pen.
And so I stepped around to the front like everybody else.
I'm watching this guy.
And he comes down with an ink pen.
He's looking up at this ceiling.
And he comes down with this ink pen while he's looking up.
And he hits the Atlas map.
And he looks directly at me.
And he goes, Denny.
I don't know how I knew my name.
He said, I want you to go to this site and do certain things.
So we all looked at where he hit the map.
And damn, it was dense run.
And it was on the road right up on that hillside.
And that scared the crap out of me that he could do something like that.
and I watched him.
His eyes were in the back of his head or, no, his eye went back of his head.
He was looking up in the ceiling.
And then he came right down, looked right at my eyes and hit that thing.
There was no faking.
That was, if it was luck, it was damn good look.
He told us what to do, how to go up there and get some dirt samples.
And we did from different mountains.
Two, not all at one location.
And I had a Corvette, 69 Corvette, and I went up this dirt road to the spot
where he hit with ink pen.
And me and Chris,
I think Chris Christopherson was his name.
We got out of the vehicle
and we took our first dirt sample right there.
We called dirt number five, dirt sample five.
And then we climbed up the mountain to the left on,
almost died climbing up there,
took a dirt sample at the top, came back down.
Then we drove up the dirt road.
And there was clay trucks coming up and down.
It was a construction site up ahead.
mining company.
We get up there in the top
and it's all mud and stuff
and we took two dirt samples up there
and then we went around.
And wherever you got them from, you had to write
one on the lid and put one on the map.
You know, two and two, so you know where each
dirt sample came from.
Now when I got home, I decided to add three more
to the list. He only told me to take
five and I end up with eight.
Took them out of my dad's garden. And these were in
butter dishes, the blue bonnet butter
dish with the white tops.
All were blue.
And six, seven, eight,
I don't know how I got that many blue butter dishes for that for a period of the time.
I still to understand.
I remember.
But anyway, when I got the dirt, I called Mike, and he was up at W.T. Grants in St. Mary's.
So me and Chris drove in the Corvette, drove up there to meet him.
I stayed in the park a lot.
Chris went inside, brought him out.
He came out, sit down to my vehicle.
And then he grabbed my hand.
And with his right hand, he grabbed my left hand.
So he was sitting on the passenger seat with his feet out on the ground.
Yeah.
And the floorboard was to his left and you were standing here to his right.
Yep.
And that's where he grabbed.
And he took his one hand and just waved it real quick over the floorboard, the passenger side floorboard.
And he grabbed number six, seven, and eight, put them on the ground.
He said, these have nothing to do with this.
By then my heart was beaten fast.
But then he went back in the second time, did one quick.
swipe and he picked out number five and he says Denny you're within 500 feet of the gold and I'm like
this is crazy. He set that down asked for a piece of paper. I gave him a big sheet that I had and he drew a map
real quick says off to the left hand side where you stand go back number five and when you're
standing there off to the left you'll see a hole in the mountain and I go what do you mean a hole and he goes there's
there'll be a hole he says believe me it'll be there
and 12 degrees off to the right, down on the other mountain you're on, he says there'll be a cave.
He says, the gold is in underwater.
It's in a cave and there's snakes.
He says, you find the cave and you call me.
So two weeks later, we went up and looking around, and we couldn't find it.
We couldn't find no cave.
I found the hole.
There was a clay mine up there, and they had all these rocks piled up, and I'll be damned.
You could sit and see a big hole right through the top of the mountain.
two rocks are stacked or something?
Yeah.
But then maybe a couple weeks later, those rocks were probably a knock down or something.
I don't know.
But how he would know those would have been there, it was amazing.
Everything he told us was happening, but we couldn't find the cave.
So we looked to DC and R, talked in them about coal mines and all kind of stuff, and there was nothing in the area.
So I think we spent a couple weeks and gave up.
You can't find the cave.
I got mad.
So I talked about this gold hunt, how the psychic was so perfect on everything he did.
And how could he be so wrong on the cave opening?
And it was about 30 years.
I kept 20-some years.
I kept talking about it.
My son was growing up.
And one day out back, I own real estate, so I have runners.
I was talking to one of my runners about this gold shipment.
And he goes, can you find your way?
back up there. I go, yeah, I can find
the way up there. I haven't been there
in 20, 30 years, but I'll never forget that
place. He says, you want to go up
this weekend? I said, yeah, let's go off. So we drove up there.
I parked right where the number five
dirt sample was. And
he said, no, what I said? We'd go up this road
500 feet. There's supposed to be
a cave up here.
So we're walking up the road
500 feet. And we come
to the dry river bed. And that's
anyone coming off that mountain.
And that's a normal place where I always figured it had to be in for transportation up and down that mountain.
But anyway, we get to the 500 foot mark.
He goes, now what?
I said, what is supposed to be a cave here?
There's two big rocks here.
I want to check the upper one.
He says, I'll check that one.
I said, Scott, there's nothing down there.
We've checked out 100 times.
If there's anything, it has to be up here.
And he said, well, how far?
I said, no, he said 500 feet.
So we've got to be right close to it.
Has to be here someplace, Scott.
He took off down to the big rock,
down to the lower section,
right next to the road.
And he starts yelling at me.
And he says, I found a cave.
And I figured he's joking.
Because, you know, I was up around how many times in the past.
And he said, Denny, there's water coming out of the cave.
And I go, no way, Scott.
Don't be doing this to me.
Because I already climbed about,
30, 40 feet up this embankment.
I said, if I come down there,
he said, Danny, I'm telling you,
you've got a cave. So I come down and I'll be
damn there was a cave there.
You know, it wasn't there 30 years before.
And what we didn't know,
that was a
in 1969,
five years before I did this,
the clay mines came in, but they
took that trail, it was an
Indian trail, a Snooks trail,
and they ran a bulldozer
through there. And they put the road in.
And when they put the road in, they pushed the dirt over the entrance of the cave and they buried the entrance.
So I'd go up three, four years after the road was put in, there's no cave.
And it took 20, 30 years to slowly wash its way back out again.
That's all it wants, yeah.
Or I would have had this back in the 1974, 75, I would have had this, yeah.
That's unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
It is.
It just, you know, you think after 20-some years you'd give up and call quits, but
just kept nodging out and draw me back.
And then that's when my life changed.
You know, because then I realized the psychic, his prediction was 100%.
And can I get a hold of this guy after 30 years?
You know, that's where another adventure started, you know?
Wow.
So, all right, I don't want to jump the gun, but are you saying you did find him again?
Yes, we did.
Unbelievable.
You guys are blowing my mind right now.
He's still with us.
He's still working with us.
He's still working with us and still making predictions to this day.
85 years old, yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
You guys, I'm so happy we're talking.
All right.
So where do we go from here?
I mean, so you find the cave after 30 years of, you know, talking about it, you know,
telling Kim about this legend and you finally find the cave.
Where do we go from here?
Go ahead, go.
Yeah.
So, yeah, it's November 2004.
And they come back and they said he found this cave.
He's like, I'm going back up.
I'm going to take these dirt samples.
So why?
He's going to see if I can find the psychic.
Okay.
So he goes back up.
He gets some dirt samples.
He comes back.
He took him just like he was told to back in the 70s.
And he's like, you know, he goes, I remember back when that psychic came into WT grants, it was around April.
He goes, because when we went up there to get the dirt samples, it was the first day of fish, the first day of fishing season.
He goes, I missed the first day.
So we go down to the local newspaper place here, gets on the old real-to-reel, you know,
looking at the computer monitor with the real-to-reel newspaper clippings from back then,
finds the original article advertising him back in 1974 coming to WT Grants,
gets his name from there, Mike Malley.
Gets on the old wonderful internet, finds out that he was living in southern Pennsylvania,
gets his phone number.
call this gentleman up
and he answers
what do you say
I said is this Mike
Melly he goes yeah
and he goes is this Danny Perada
no way
yeah I go are you kidding me
now
granted he might have had caller ID
but what did you say that
but the thing is I says
is this Mike Malley and he goes yeah he goes
is this Danny Prada
I go you remember me
he goes aren't you to want the way
Corvette. I'm like, wow, I haven't seen this guy in 30 years. I only met him twice in my entire life. W.T. Grants. W.T. Grants. Grants. Never talked to him in 30 years. W.T. Grants. He came up. I mean, that just blew my mind my mind my mind. He said, what can I do for you? I said, Mike, I found the cave. He started laughing. He said, it took you 30 years to find the cave. And he starts laughing. And then my life changed after that. Yeah. He gave us some more predictions because I did some more dirt samples.
And he said the cave was 32 feet long and go back 32 feet.
You'll find a vertical shaft.
You'll see snakes in there, fall, the sparkles of gold.
He's given us a whole bunch of predictions.
So we go back and me and Kim going there with our friend Scott Farrell.
And we're laying in ice water, it's running down her back.
And we're slowly tunneling back.
I mean, to give you a perspective on the cave,
it was only like two and a half feet of clearance from the ground to the I mean it's a border and we're going back underneath this boulder so there's only two and a half feet of clearance and about 25 feet width yeah the time you know so we're just tunneling back and he said just go straight back straight back so we're in there we're using an old turkey roasting pan you know we have ropes tied to either end of it somebody's in there laying on their side digging with an army shovel putting the dirt in the turkey pan the guy outside
hide's pulling the rope, pulls it out, dumps it, we pull it back in.
You know, it was a tedious long process.
But see, we were only, when we got in there, it was only 15 feet to the back wall.
Yes.
And he said we'd go 32 feet back and it'd be a vertical shaft.
And I said, there is no vertical shaft.
I mean, there's no air blowing through this place.
How could it be a, so these guys were getting pissed off.
And I was laying on my back, they're getting ready to quit for good.
I'm laying on my back.
I have candles or flashlights.
Water's running down my back, ice water, and it's in Christmas time winter.
And I'm looking up the ceiling and I see the charcoal, the moss on the ceiling was burnt crispy.
It was charcoal.
It was charcoal.
Just burnt.
And then I realized the smoke went, the flames like went to the back of the cave.
So I'm yelling that the guys, get in here, get in here.
So they came in, they said, oh, be damn, somebody had a torch in here.
and they burnt the ceiling.
There were shizzle marks in this roof too.
So you can see where they had a,
the end of the torch went into the ceiling.
And the,
but the thing is, the smoke went to the back of the cave.
Now, how can that happen?
So I let a fire in the smoke filled up in the cave
and we go choking out.
Kim goes back to the back part, the 15 foot mark.
And he yells, Dad, there's another burn mark back here.
So I crawl back around, I look, I go, I'll be down.
Now, that was the high point,
The cave has like a hump in the middle where the water is always running.
And that's where these burn marks were up high.
And I said, well, how can the smoke go to the back of the cave?
So Kim starts digging on the back wall of the cave.
Tell them what you find?
No, just digging in the back wall there.
And eventually, start to uncover a man-made wall.
Flat rocks stacked up and the whole length of the whole width of the caves.
Unbelievable.
We pulled the wall down and there was another room behind that wall.
Wow.
Well, Kim is digging into this dirt.
Topsoil.
Topsoil.
Because he sees another room back here, and these porcupines were going in and out, you know.
But he sees another room.
He says, Dad, there's a room here.
And he's digging with his hands.
And we tell him what you find.
Oh, there.
Yeah, digging through this.
I mean, it was real soft dirt.
I mean, it wasn't like clay or anything.
I mean, this was, it was put there, you know, recently within the last hundred some years.
And I'm digging.
And I'm pulling all this dirt out.
And there's earthworms.
I'm finding earthworms inside this.
Night crawlers, big ones.
And I looked at him and I said, oh, my God, snakes, baby snakes.
The psychic said baby snakes will lead it to the gold.
This was in December.
We're finding night crawlers in the middle of a cave with ice.
This is absolutely crazy.
So when we got that far, the psychic part of his prediction, light a candle, stick it in room number two,
and the sparkles of gold will lead you to the gold.
So this is the same time we're going all this.
He puts his candle in there, the back wall, about two feet wide,
the whole way up and down, it lit up like sparkles of gold.
We're yelling and screaming.
I mean, everybody's running in there.
And then we find out it's big water droplets of water.
But it's only right in one section.
It's no other place.
And he said the sparkles of gold will lead it to the gold.
He didn't say the gold will lead you to it.
It was sparkless.
So we had to work our way back to that next wall.
And guess what?
We found another man-made wall.
It took us a year or two to get all that play out,
if you were erosion and stuff.
We found more burn marks on the ceilings.
When we got to the second wall and started knocking it down,
we found the vertical shaft.
Where all the smoke in the air used to go up years ago,
100-some years ago.
When I realized that the psychic cruxed,
predicted 32 feet back, there would be a vertical shaft big enough for a human to climb through,
and we found it. Jesus. I mean, my life had changed at that point. This guy was perfect.
Absolutely. You guys are taking me down an emotional roller coaster right now. This is amazing.
You'd have to live the story that we live. I mean, there's a lot we're forgetting behind all this,
but that's an absolutely amazing story. How somebody can, well, I'm supposed to,
He connects with the debt.
He's not as psychic as much as he is a performer.
Performer.
He prefers the term performer.
Yeah, it's something he doesn't go into.
He gets this thing happens to him.
And he doesn't like to see predict people's death and stuff like that.
He's predicted some people's death.
I won't get into all that stuff right now.
And it's nothing he really wanted to do.
But when the gold, we asked him about the gold in Dent Ron, this energy came to him, and he figured he'd go along with it because it's not predicting somebody's death or nothing.
And that's any reason he got into this.
And he figured up, since I didn't call him after 30 years, that his abilities to find treasure and communicate that way was, didn't work.
Wow.
So he never did anymore.
So he never did anymore.
Until we looked them up again.
then that's when he started getting interested.
And we did a couple more treasure hunts like that.
And it's just mind-blowing.
The guy, what he did is just mind-blower.
A treasure hunt for us, two weeks, we'd find the location.
We had confirmed what we're looking for.
And then we started another one two weeks then.
We were there.
It was easy.
Yeah.
We got a bunch of them.
That's incredible.
So, I mean, so you're working with him today, which is amazing to me.
I think that's amazing.
I didn't know that this guy was still part of the picture.
And he's helping you find these locations.
So you're saying that you've been finding other lost treasures and stuff,
and he's been aiding in that search.
Some of them, not all.
He quit after a certain time.
Because he felt like he'd,
since there was no gold coming out of these sites, no treasures,
he don't want me to, how can I say,
A lot of them are on state game lands, so we're prohibited from digging.
So that's why there's nothing coming up out of them is because we're kind of stuck.
He was afraid somebody would get bit by round snake.
Somebody would die on one of these adventures.
Or that's my 30-year quest, I'd go financially broke.
He says, Denny, until I see money coming out of the ground and my hunts are real,
I don't want to do any more of these because I'm afraid somebody's going to get hurt.
And I agree with them.
So we moved on with some other psychics.
and we're up in Canada.
I mean, it's amazing what we do.
If it works, it works, you know?
It works.
I don't know how it works.
But, you know, people say, I don't know how a psychic works,
but I don't know how a cell phone works.
And I use it in a microwave, so it works, you know, what the heck?
Yeah, it ain't broken, don't fix it.
That's amazing.
So, all right, does he know, I mean, have you,
do you still talk to him?
I mean, does he know about the next part of this story?
I don't know if it's the next part.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
So does that inspire him at all to say, okay, let's do it?
I mean, there's money that came out of the ground.
It's just it was stolen from you in a sense.
Well, we'll get to that.
Okay.
But no, I mean, yeah, the whole point was look for gold and to prove the psychic was a fake.
And it's all true.
I mean, if this guy can actually communicate, he had to communicate with somebody,
he's 100% correct on the on the dent run thing I don't know how he's doing it
nobody could be in that cave who was sealed up two rooms with all that dirt and the walls
how could he know there was a 35 with the shaft back there and stuff it was amazing but anyways we
keep working and going our way back here we get to an area of the cave 35 feet back where the
it's dangerous now we're not under a solid stone it's we're beyond the border we're beyond where the
road is and now it's caving in and it's dangerous.
So what we didn't know was when that bulldozer came through in
1970 or 69, they actually
caved in. The bulldozer fell into the cave and collapsed
and they pulled it out and they backfilled the area. Had they
seen the gold, they would have grabbed all the gold in 1969, but somehow
the back, the bulldozer fell in, they
backfilled. So now we're in that. We're in
area and it's too dangerous. We put up a lot of iron braces. We go back another 10, 12 feet
underground. And I decided to call quits. It's too dangerous. We see this gray clay going straight back.
We see this black rocks bleeding out of the clay. And we've taken samples. And when they said
the sent them up to the Mahathie Labs, they said it was pig arm bleeding out of the ground.
and I go pig iron.
They go, that's changing the clay from tan to a gray
and the rocks are being turned black.
You have pig iron.
So I called the state up DC and R because we're working with them.
And Ted Bereski told me,
if you got a black streak, it's pig iron.
That's before the Civil War.
If it's reddish, you got iron steel and that would be red rust.
He says, then you got something in there that's old.
I said, well, I'm done working in that case.
somebody's going to die, I'm shutting it down.
So they actually came to the site DCNR and took us up above.
And so why don't you drill down into the cave?
They showed us how to do the drilling.
Wow.
So we did that for two years.
We're only allowed to use a certain diameter.
That was a three quarter inch masonry bit.
Very small.
Now you're trying to drill down 20 feet or not 20 feet, but 15, 12, 15, 15, 15,
feet, the slightest angle would throw you off, you know, from your target.
So it took forever.
I would like to go back, though, and say all this time of trying to prove that this gold
shipment happened, you're calling the Smithsonian National Archives, all this other stuff,
and everybody, what were they saying that?
You know, the National Archives of Washington, when I called them, a lady answered.
And I said to her, I says, I'm calling about this gold shipment, lost gold shipment.
and Dent Toronto and Pennsylvania.
She goes, sir, hold on.
There's somebody here that knows more about that.
And I never got the guy's name.
I tell the States, I wish they remembered that.
He comes on, he goes, I asked him what I told him what I wanted.
He goes, the official word, we are to tell you treasure hunters,
is that it never happened.
There's no lost gold.
Don't waste your time.
And I go, okay, I said, well, thank you, sir.
Thank you.
He goes, good luck.
I hope you find it.
I go, well, whoa, whoa, wait a second.
What are you saying?
Good luck.
I hope you find it.
He says, you're not listening to me.
The official word we are to tell you guys, it never happened, and it doesn't exist, and don't
waste your time.
I go, I got you, buddy, thank you.
Till this guy, I wish I know who he was.
And it's things like that, we keep hearing that it's a cover up.
We keep hearing more and more, they're staring people away.
Files are being destroyed and stuff like that, and that made me want to push.
more into this year. Yes. So, so yes, so we're talking, we're opening off at DC and I think because it is on
state game land and it's illegal to dig on state game land. But, you know, through the powerful loopholes,
you know, we were able to drill down from the top. The agreement was, you know, nothing bigger than a
three-quarter inch drill bit. So that way we couldn't actually reach down and steal the gold or anything.
They want us to drill down, open up the void or hit the gold or something. You know,
You know, you snake cameras, got a proof that it was there.
We weren't allowed to use commercial grade equipment.
It all had to be just basic stuff that you can buy at Lowe's, hammer drills, generators, stuff like that.
We would go into Lowe's, we would get these Mason bits, and then we would take them to the local fabrication shop here, T&D fabricating here in Clearfield.
They would custom make shafts and weld these bits on them.
So we had 15 foot shafts.
Oh, yeah, we had from 4 foot to 6 foot to 8 foot to 10 foot to 12 foot every 2 foot.
We had so many drill.
I had thousands of dollars worth the drill bits made.
But when you start off with the 3 foot bit, then you draw down three feet.
Then you switch it over to a 5 foot and then go down two more.
Then you keep switching to a bigger one.
But then we had to switch from that to core bits to iron bits.
and oh geez we had so many bits.
We had thousands of dollars worth of equipment in that hillside buried under leaves for years.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We would leave our generators up there. Stakes down to the ground, you know, chains, locks, you know, stuff up there.
We had drill bits, camouflaged. You know, we left it all there. We had trail cameras up.
DC and R would come by and see what we're doing. They're fully aware. They're the ones that taught us to do it.
But there came to a point where I kept telling them, I know, I know.
where the silver's out. I've been drawn right around
the silver, but I don't want to go over to the
gold area and drill into it.
Now you said that, though, we were kind of confused on
the silver readings. You know,
at this point, we were bringing up regular
bounty hunter-mody detectors. We,
you know, purchased a long, ground
penetrating locator, GPL for
short. We have
the Trombisky brothers from Philadelphia
that we're working with us. They had long-range
locators. We've, we hired
ground radar, you know,
multiple different pieces of treasure hunting
treasure detecting equipment that we had there over the course of 10, 12 years and everything
pinpointed gold and silver in these locations, which threw us off because, like, what's
the silver reading? You know, there's just supposed to be gold here. Yeah, but we were tracking
down the blackbeard silver, seven and a half tons, but we know it made it from Renova up
to Emporium and then it disappeared in Emporium, but Emporium was a straight shot. It was like
11 miles to Dentron.
through the straight shot through the woods.
And I figured both sites were Indians,
and I thought the Indians brought all this silver into Dentron.
And who knows?
I don't know.
I figured seven and a half tons,
because there's Indian skeletons in Dens Run Cave and all kind of stuff.
Anyway, I'm drawing down one day.
I don't really want to draw into the gold
because it's a million dollars of historical.
Each bar is a million dollars.
And I drill down with the masonry bit.
And I come up and it's got,
all gold coatings on the tip of it.
And I'm like, wow, so I called the state.
They came up.
They said, I could have faked it.
I go, what?
They go, Denny, you could have faked this, somehow put the gold on this drill bit.
We want to see a chunk of gold come out of the ground.
And if you fake that, we keep the gold.
I said, well, you have to let me use a core bit.
He goes, you can go two and a half inches.
I go, okay, you got it.
I said, I'm going to shut down for a couple of a week.
to get these core bits made up, and then we'll be back on the project.
I went back three days later to get some tools, and somebody was tearing up our site.
And I got pissed.
And from the distance, I called the state police and everything.
Didn't know who it was, and here was DC&R.
Okay, everybody, let's take a second and talk about our sponsor for today's show,
which is Hello Fresh.
Friends, I love them.
I freaking love them.
Let me tell you something.
Before Hello Fresh kind of came into the Merkel Tribe household,
there was a lot of times that we would be like,
what do you want to do for dinner?
This, no, it takes too long, this, that, and the other.
It always came down to this.
It took too long.
Don't feel like making crazy dishes, that kind of thing.
And so what we wind up doing is going to the grocery store
and buying some sushi because sushi is a soft spot here.
We love sushi.
And we would wind up buying sushi at least once or twice a week.
And that stuff piles up.
It's expensive.
Not with Hello Fresh because Hello Fresh makes it easy.
With all the recipes and ingredients shipped right to your
front door and they have over 50 menu and market items to choose from every week, including
vegetarian, calorie smart, and gourmet options, providing plenty of variety.
Ingredients travel from the farm to your front door within a week.
That's huge, friends.
That's huge.
How many people think that the grocery store, that the food you're getting from the grocery
store, the food that you're getting off the shelf that are vegetables, meats, all came
from the farm within a week?
Yeah, right.
Okay.
Well, hello fresh, that's the case.
Ingredients travel from the farm to your door within a week so you get the convenience
without skipping on quality.
Plus, skip trips to the grocery store and avoid the long lines, which was crazy this past
holiday weekend with Thanksgiving a couple weekends ago.
My Lord, I went into the grocery store just to pick up a couple things, some vitamin
C because we were all sick.
And the lines were through the freaking door.
I was like, you got to be kidding me.
All I wanted some medicine.
It was crazy.
Anyways, I get distracted.
go on over to hellofresh.com slash confessionals 14 and use code confessionals 14 for up to 14 free meals and three free gifts.
It's the giving season and HelloFresh is not only giving you 14 free meals, but they're also giving you,
ho, ho, ho, three free gifts.
Go to Hellofresh.com slash Confessionals 14 and use code Confessionals 14 for up to 14 free meals and three free gifts.
Go now.
So before we go any further, I didn't realize this.
They came in to tear up your site, and this isn't even, we didn't even get to the FBI part.
So we have other government agencies interfering and trying to cover up this hunt that you're on.
There's a lot more government agencies.
I'm not going to get into all them, but there was a lot more behind us.
Okay.
Now, as far as the whole DCNR statement, we don't know if it was,
the agency or if it was a few rogue employees that had this information that went and did it.
But I had the head agent for DCNR and I had Ted Beresky, the mineral guy out of Harrisburg on site,
showed them exactly where I hit the gold with my drill bit.
Then I showed them my hidden cameras, which they were three feet away.
They still couldn't see these hidden cameras.
I had three of them there.
When I went back later, all my cameras were missing.
They were there for years.
Nobody could find.
Here I show them to DCNR.
And three days later, my cameras are missing.
And somebody dug right where I showed DCNR that there was this hole in the ground.
The guy down below, the landowner told me he believed it was employees of DCNR.
And everything points to them 100%.
So we've been in like a small court battle for one.
Then they threw us off the site.
That's whenever they requested us or they ordered us.
vacate the premises and we weren't allowed to do any more work there.
But after that, there's two more times DC&R came up and they took some of our equipment.
We had stuff missing at times and my cameras caught them, actually pulled my equipment off
the site and then they denied it. And then I'd show to the attorneys and the state police and they're
like, this is ridiculous. I mean, they're carrying your stuff right off the mountain and I never got it
back. Yeah. So you don't do that to the gas well workers or anything. Yeah. So let me ask you a
question real quick before we go any further. What is your thoughts as to why they are are messing
with you like this? I mean, is it just simply that they don't want people finding this treasure
that's outside of the government? Or is there something maybe more sinister? I mean,
you guys have had time to think about this. Why do you think that that they are, because I mean,
they didn't pull it all out of the ground like the FBI did. I'm not trying to spoil the story here,
but they, why are they messing with you?
because they screwed up.
The laws have never changed in Pennsylvania.
There is no treasure hunting law.
It dates back to 1860s.
The treasure hunting law then is called finders keepers.
The finder gets half, the landowner gets half.
That's what still stands for in Pennsylvania right now.
They still haven't changed it.
Either the finder gets half or the person that was taken from a bank or something.
They get the other half.
and then the landowner gets nothing.
It's a three-way shot there.
Now, up until we found the gold, that was the standard law.
We didn't sign any contracts or any agreements with the state.
So we fall under finders, keepers law.
Now, if we do find the gold, and there was 26 bars, we thought then, half of it would belong to us,
and the state could see the other half.
But if they could get us out of the pitcher, they get to keep it all.
Makes sense.
Now, somebody did some diggings at the site.
Remember I told you I seen people digging when I went back three days later?
I saw him digging one hole, but we found out later there was three more holes dug on that road.
Somebody put metal objects down in the road, piles of metal in a straight line.
I didn't know this until the FBI came up.
But somebody did that to throw all my gold readings off, that if I'd go back with the news people, it would be iron, iron, iron, iron, make me look like an idiot.
I've been there for 13 years. I never had an iron reading anywhere in 13 years.
When I went back after that, I blamed DC and R for what they did, I had iron readings, iron readings, iron readings after that.
Yeah. So I, now I know DCNR and everybody says, you know, about the digging permits.
We tried to get bonds and digging permits.
Yeah, they gave us a bond, especially for us that we could not get bonded.
We tried everything and they wouldn't make the correction.
There was no time limit to the end of the bond.
They could keep the money for indefinitely.
And if a bond company put up a half million dollars, they could hold it for 10, 20, 30 years.
There was no time limit on the end.
and they wouldn't put one there.
Normally, when you're done with the project within so many months,
the state signs off and okay, and then the bond is released.
They wouldn't do that in this case.
So they gave me a bond.
I still have, and I could not get nobody to bond it for us.
So we tried everything legally to what we could do and nothing.
And then we were told to vacate the property.
We vacated, and we were kind of at a standstill.
And in those years, we ventured up to Nova Scotia and branched out to other portions of the country.
We had 30 days to vacate after I accused the DC&R and all that stuff,
of drilling and digging up our site.
So in that 30 days, I already had the cord bits made up.
And I told the attorney, I'm going to do everything I can in 30 days before I walk off here to hit that damn stuff.
And we drill down, we got our drill bits stuck into a metal object.
Then we drilled off to the left of it and we hit cast iron three times.
And the drill bit was in six inch steps in the three different holes.
And we believe there were cast iron containers.
We couldn't drill through them, but we could take a steel bar and a sledgehammer.
And on three hits, one, two, three, that bar would drop down six inches.
Then we went to the other hole, hit it three times and that bar went down three inches.
So we know we broke through some kind of a cast iron container, three of those.
And then when we got to the gold, we got the drill bit stuck.
It took us two and a half days to get it out of the damn thing.
We have a full video of all this stuff.
We have videotaped all the went on in the cave.
Everything went outside the cave.
We have DC&R footage of DC&R many times.
We have everything videotaped.
We have many cameras running for 13 years up there.
and we got everything.
But, yeah, we actually got a thrown off at the end,
and then everything got quiet through the courts and stuff.
And then we went to the FBI after about three years, I think it was.
No.
It was a longer now.
Yeah, it was longer.
Yeah, we decided to get to hell out of the United States and go to Canada,
and we started up there and did TV shows for History Channel and stuff,
and then things drifted back this way.
Yeah.
And then one day out of the blue,
gentleman named Warren Gettler gets in touch with us and says,
hey,
I'm this author with Bob Brewer about Rebel Gold.
He goes,
I read up on your battle with DCNR and,
you know,
Dents Run.
He goes, I think what your site is,
is a KGC,
Knight to the Golden Circle,
cash a treasure trove.
And we're like,
what are you talking about?
Like, we didn't know anything about the KGC.
Wow.
And he explains that the KGC, the Knights of the Going Circle, were Southern sympathizers who would like the South would rise again kind of thing and that they did operate here in the north.
And that what they did, I mean, there's TV shows out there about them where they, you know, Jesse James is a member.
He was a famous outlaw.
He did all these robberies, bank right?
He never had any money.
And you believe that he took all those lootings and robberies and stuff and hit him all over the north here.
And booted.
He won the assassinated Kennedy
Lincoln, yeah.
He was in on stuff like that.
And that John Wilkes Booth was a member of the KGC
and that's why he was ordered to assassinate
Abraham Lincoln.
But there's a lot more members
to this organization.
But he goes, I think that your dense friend's site
is a treasure trope, one of their hiding spots.
And we started thinking about it.
Well, that might be right.
Maybe that's where the silver came from too.
And he says, Mr. Gettler says,
what would it take to get you back on this property,
on the land,
and to get this done?
We're like,
well,
the only thing that we can do is override the state,
go to the federal government.
It's supposed to be federal property.
Get them to override the state and get us back on there.
And he says,
all right,
he goes,
I'm going to get you in a meeting with the FBI.
We laugh.
We've tried.
We've tried.
We just keep getting laughed at it.
It's kind of like in the movie,
National Treasure.
Yes.
When Nicholas Cage and then they go and try to prove that they found this treasure and everything and they laugh.
And so, oh, did you find Bigfoot too?
You know, it's kind of like, you know, we were laughed at for years.
So we're like, all right, buddy.
You know, thinking this guy's a few bricks shy of a load.
You know, we get people I got contact in this all the time.
And he calls back within 24, 48 hours and says,
I got you in a meeting next week with the FBI down in Philadelphia.
We're like, no way.
He goes, no.
We're like, this guy's got connections or something.
He's well known.
So we make this arrangement to drive down to Philadelphia.
It's January 26, 2018.
And we drive down there.
We meet Mr. Gettler on a street corner.
And we go inside this restaurant, and we're talking with them and everything.
We're, you know, just mention introductions and get to know each other more
and learning more about him and everything.
So then we could go across the street and go to the FBI headquarters.
And that was quite an experience.
I never thought I'd be an FBI headquarter.
They had steel doors.
They hit their fingers on these still doors and they opened up.
I mean, we were in high security.
Wow.
It was amazing.
Yeah, we were scanned and everything.
It was, you know, it was big.
So there's Warren Gettler, my dad, and me sitting there at a table and across the table from us
with three other agents.
What was the name?
Yeah, go ahead.
Sure.
Well, we already know it was Jake, Jake Archer and Katie Newton and Sarah Codone.
And we taught them pretty much everything we just told you right up until now, you know.
We presented them with all the pictures and videos and everything we had.
Not everything, but, you know, the needed to know stuff.
presented them with some of the
articles that you obtained.
And it just blew their mind
because there were documents that they didn't even know
existed. And they're asking, how did you get this?
And...
Your answer was, I'm better than you.
Well,
he says, Danny, what makes you think the gold
is really there?
I said, when the
governor's office in Pennsylvania
thinks it's there and some other government officials in DC and R thinks it's there.
He goes, what are you talking about?
And I slid him something.
I can't really talk about right here.
But I slid him some proof.
Let's put it this way.
There are people in the government that wanted a percentage of the gold.
And we were okay to dig after that.
Enough said.
Enough said, yeah.
There are people and sent us emails over the years telling us just go ahead and dig.
And if you need help, let us know they were other government people.
We had a lot of offers, illegal offers.
And we don't know if we were being played for like somebody wanted to burn us, get us in trouble.
And we were being set up.
So our lawyer kept saying, no, don't do this, don't do that, turn down all the offers.
but we recorded and videotape there.
So we submitted everything we had.
Give it to them.
Right there on the table when we're there.
Submitted everything we had to them.
And they said, all right, we'll look over everything.
And it will be months before you hear from us.
Like, all right, we figured, thank you for your time.
So we get back in the car and we drive back home.
Then 24 hours, agent,
archers calling,
requesting to know exactly where the site's at.
He wanted to know latitude,
longed to, wanted to know all this stuff.
So we get the information to him.
He says, thank you.
He goes, I'll be in touch.
Calls back next day, says,
me and a crew of agents,
about 12 of us were coming up.
We want you to take us to this site.
All right, this was two weeks later
since our meeting and the FBI...
There's snow all over the place.
That's a hell of a month.
climb. It's freezing out there and they want us to take them up or so we do.
So it was about Valentine's Day, give or take a day or two, you know, around early February.
We go, we meet them.
Me, my dad, Warren Gettler came up.
We meet these agents.
We were told no finders keepers logos, nothing, no media, nothing.
This is all off the record, hush, hush.
DCNR doesn't even know we are disguised as skiers and trail people.
That's all this.
DCNR is not supposed to know anything.
Wow.
Okay, we went up for a couple of times and they didn't know nothing.
So we went up there with these agents and we're sitting there and we used our GPL,
the ground Pang Train locator.
There were copper pins that we used.
What the GPL is, you hammer these pins into the ground, you run these wires to them,
use gator clips to hook to them.
They plug into the machine and it uses low-vorge electricity.
So you have a grid four-pins set up and on the machine, you can turn it down.
You can shoot electricity from pins 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 and 3 to 4.
It sends electricity out, goes down the pin, goes through the ground, comes up the other pin and comes back to the machine.
And it can tell you what's between those two pins.
Inner ground, water, cave, gold, silver, copper, a whole bunch of stuff.
And we had these pins that were hammered in the ground that we left there from when we vacated the premises.
So we take the machine up there, hook up to a,
these pins hit the bunch, got gold readings right off the bat.
Everybody's screaming. Everybody's happy.
They're taking pictures. We moved to caught. We moved to other pins that we had left there
in the ground, hooked up to them, got more gold readings.
Took the machine, moved it a couple hundred yards away, set it up with some other pins,
got inert ground, you know, shown that our machine was calibrated properly and it was working.
So they go back and they said, all right, we're going to take this information.
back to headquarters and stuff.
It's going to be weeks or months before you hear from us.
All right.
Same thing.
So we're sitting around.
We're waiting.
Two days later, they call back and says, hey, we're getting a team to come in, use their
equipment at that site.
Oh, okay.
They said, we'll be there two weeks.
But before the two week period, we are being hit every question there is.
Me and Warren Gettler and Kevin.
They wanted to know everything.
everything we had, all my drawing records, they wanted to know everything about the KGC from
Warren Gettler.
They just, every day was just, we're just sending them information, information.
They're doing a lot of research on this until two weeks, then go ahead.
So they come up, and that's when they rent, uh, contracted out with Envirookin.
And a virus scan was came up.
It was just me and my dad, Warren Getler wasn't there on this trip.
Uh, Agent Archer wasn't there, some other agents.
And they used this grabbing me.
And it was just a square box, well, about like almost a foot and a half tall and about 12 by 12.
Yeah.
So, and I don't know much about this machine.
I guess the Army uses it to locate underground mines and all sorts of stuff.
From the 1960s, Vietnam they've used this thing.
So it's been well used by the Army for many years.
Yeah.
And it's supposed to get down to the Earth's Corps and all.
Like, it's a real high check.
Yeah.
It's a high tech, yeah.
So anyway, we get up there.
We showed them where the area was.
They used these little surveying flags.
They made a row, probably about 25 in a row, and about 15 rows.
So that was a lot of surveying flags.
They take this machine that sits on this base unit.
Nobody is allowed to touch it for five minutes.
I don't know if it was linking up with satellites or what it does.
It's about beyond my pay green.
They took the machine, they put it beside flag number one, let it sit for five minutes.
pick it up take it back to the base unit set it down five minutes pick it up take it to the next
flag five minutes back and forth it took eight hours to do those rows it was forever and it was
slightly raining that day too it was a 35 by a 12 foot area wow 35 by 12 feet yeah so they do all that
this is on a Friday and yeah they pack up all their stuff and they leave and agent archer calls you
and says, you know, they're going to put their stuff into the computer.
They're going to get the readings when they get the readings back to the FBI.
Monday, they'll call us and let us now.
We're like, all right.
So Monday comes around and he calls.
I wasn't on the phone call.
Yeah, I mean, Warren were there when he called.
And Warren was screaming because Jake Archer says the gravometer come back.
And, Denny, what did you ask?
What did you recommend?
I says there was two and a half tons of gold, 252 bars.
He goes, no, there's over nine tons.
Seven to nine tons is what the report came back.
Oh, my gosh.
99% positive rating.
And Warren's screaming at the top of his lungs.
Then Warren comes back and he goes, what was the percentage, whatever, the calipers, whatever.
I guess most of your metals in the ground are from one to 10 and lead and all that kind of stuff.
And he says, what did you guys get?
goes 18. There's nothing on this planet other than gold that reads 18 and it all came back
is 18. 18 to 19. So it's pure gold relativity. So he says right now you're looking at seven to
nine tons of pure gold. And I go, what about the silver off to the left? Is that just one spot?
And he goes, that's one spot. But then he says, Denny, you miss something. I go, what? He goes,
there's two more piles of metal off to the right. I go, no, no, no, no. I've been there for 13 years.
this is what I believe
DC&R somebody planted
in the road to mess
up all these damn readings
so I said to him I said where the silver's
out what are you getting
he goes ironed
I go no no don't tell me that because that's I've been
drilling that for years that's silver
I says then the silver is underneath
the iron somebody put iron here
somebody put iron there in there
so that's
when the FBI was coming in
they made a statement after
the first day of digging, there's an ongoing investigation. They had to check out what was put
in the ground recently to mess up my readings and who did it. Was it the state? Did they get any
money? That's what all this was all about. And they asked us to keep quiet. But go ahead,
I'm sorry. No, no, you're doing fine. I'm just getting my mouth shut.
So, you know, they confirmed that they were able, you know, Agent Arch confirmed that they were able to get a warrant signed to come in and override the state.
He said, you guys are going to be, he said this is an FBI operation.
You guys will be allowed to be there as a guest.
Do not bring anything that says finders keepers.
Don't wear anything finders keepers.
This is not a finders keepers treasure hunt.
is a FBI operation.
Understood.
Understood.
You know, like you said,
we want to be there.
It's our 15 years of hard work.
We just want the recognition for it.
We just want to see what comes out of the ground.
We want to make sure it goes to where it belongs and that it's not going to be stolen.
That's all right.
And so they, you know, want to us put all these trail cameras off.
You mean, you know, you want you, we want you up here checking that site every day.
Like they were, you know, very.
very persisting on us securing that site and making sure nobody was going to go in there and dig.
I mean, it sat there for all these years. Now all of a sudden, they're jumping a gun and
want things done. When it was two and a half tons, no major. It's only 12, you know, FBI and a backhoe
was supposed to do this. Then they could, Enveris scans and over nine tons of gold, now everybody's
going nuts. Now they want Kim and us to go every day, check the site, put all these extra cameras up. I mean,
they're going nuts.
Actually, I just want to say one thing before you continue for the audience listening,
because I don't know if everybody has quite a great grasp as to what a ton is as far as
as weight goes.
I mean, if you're talking about nine tons, you're talking about over 18,000 pounds of gold.
So everybody can just understand, like, your average car probably weighs about 2,000 pounds.
We're talking about 18,000 pounds of gold.
That is insane.
Carry on. I'm sorry. I just wanted to clarify that to the audience because we have an international
audience and they might understand more of the poundage than the tonnage. It's a lot.
So we're going up there. We put more trail cameras up there. We're going up and we're checking
the site every day just like they asked us. And I went up the day before that they were supposed
to be there. They still were going to be there on this day, March 13th. Yeah. I went up March 12th
to make sure everything was still legit.
Make sure, like, because it's a, there's hunting cabins up there and they rent them out.
And I want to make sure that there wasn't going to be a lot of people and causing confusion and
hectic, you know.
I go up there and the confusion and the hectic was already there because the FBI showed up a day
before.
And I'm like, what's going on?
And I get stopped by Agent Archer.
And he's like, oh, well, we're just, we're just setting things up.
We're just, we're just getting things ready for tomorrow.
All right.
That could be true.
and he's like
all the
all the time I said
about going up
and the trail cameras
he goes
oh don't worry
about
where he took
care of all
somehow he knew
where we put
all the cameras
at that we
just put up
there a week
prior
I'm like
all right
he goes
you know
your dad
have 12 cameras
I said
I guess
I don't know
sure
so
we come back
and I
you know
told him
because he was
going to meet
Warren
Gettler
at the
airport to
bring him in
I told him
what was
going on
oh okay
and so we had an agreement to be up there the next day at 8 a.m.
Same thing, no finders keepers logos because his vehicle has finders keepers on and stuff.
We go up in my little, I had a 2013 Mazda hatchback, little compact car.
Me, him, my dad and Warren, gather drive up there in my car and FBI police everywhere.
They have the bottom portion of the mountain roped off with crime scene tape and the police
line, do not cross, all the stuff.
Go to get out of the vehicle and we get stopped by the FBI police and we, all right, well,
this is who we are, you know, Mr. Agent Archer to us, we could be here.
Oh, no, no, just right now, just stay in your vehicle.
I'll let him know you're here.
So we sat in the vehicle.
Long story short, we sat in my vehicle for seven, six and a half hours.
Six and a half, seven hours.
And we did see Agent Archer throughout this time, you know, we did talk to him.
He told us, we're getting things set up.
which I thought you were supposed to get things set up the day before.
But he said, we're getting things set up.
And, you know, there's not a lot of room up there.
And it's pretty cram.
You know, just stay in your vehicle here.
We'll let you know when it's time.
Well, so six and a half, seven hours, we go to get out of the car and stretch.
There is a port of potty there.
And any time we got out to go to use this bathroom, FBI, police jumped out.
And where are you going?
You're not allowed to leave.
You can't.
We're just going to the bathroom.
So anyway, this one time we get out, and we're standing in there stretching.
And we see this.
lady walking down the road towards us.
And as she gets closer, we automatically recognize her as WTAJ reporter.
I can't remember her name right now, but she knew who we were.
She recognized us.
Now, swear to God, we didn't call.
We didn't notify, you know, we did what the FBI asked.
We didn't notify anybody.
But somebody called the FBI.
Sure.
Somebody called the news company and told them what was going on.
So she gets close to us and she goes, hey, I recognize you.
You guys are finders keepers.
You could snap to your fingers. FBI police were on us, grabbing us.
They're kind of yelling at us. It's like accusing us.
They're the ones being the ones that called the news reporters.
We didn't call anybody.
And they escorted us behind the crime scene line into this green tent.
We got the third degree.
You were told you're not allowed to talk to anybody.
You weren't allowed to?
We're like, we're doing what you ask.
We're just pawns here, apparently.
And then we kind of got a little snippy back saying this is ridiculous.
She told us to be here at 8 a.m.
And you've had us confined to our car for six and a half hours.
It's 30, 40 degrees out there.
The car's been running nonstop.
What's happening?
He goes, well, right, well, now it's time.
Let's go up the hill.
Okay.
So we start walking up this mountain.
It's about a good three quarter, almost a mile hike up this mountain.
And we get up there.
And there's about 35 agents up there.
They're everywhere.
There's an excavator.
You know, we were told there was no room to walk or anything.
But you got all these agents everywhere.
and they're just doing their thing.
And we noticed that they've already dug a hole.
But they dug off to the side where the iron was supposed to be at.
And the whole thing was the iron there was only supposed to be down about three to five feet.
So they dug down, confirmed that the items were down three to five feet,
showing how accurate the readings were.
So there, when they got to the gold, and it said it was down 12.
8 to 12 feet.
eight to 12 feet, they knew exactly how far to dig.
So we get there and they go to move the excavator over to what they call as the honey hole,
R-Spa, you know, our spot, right, where the gold's at.
And they start digging down.
Finally, we're like, here it is.
This comes to my moment of truth.
You know, they're digging down.
They're digging down.
They're hooking, scooping out the dirt, and they're dumping it.
And I look, and after spending years with this knucklehead, I can start detecting things that he does.
like his camouflaged cameras.
And I'm looking, I'm like,
hey, there's one of your cameras.
They said they got all of them.
They're getting ready to bury it.
As they're pushing the dirt, digging our hole,
they're pushing the dirt.
Close to the hillside.
Yeah, and I'm like, Kim, they're going to bury my camera.
And Kim, says, what do you got to us?
So I, 35 agents, and they're split in half.
15's with us.
15's at the other side with DC and R.
They keep me and DC and R apart at this time.
and I put my hands up.
I stopped the excavation.
I walk over and grab a pile of leaves.
And I come back and the agent's right next to me, I hand it to him.
And he looks at it and he looks at me.
It was a camera inside the leaves and he says, fucking genius.
And he handed me the camera and he goes, how in the hell do this?
I hand it to Kim.
The machine is taking his picture while he's holding it and other people documenting that I gave it to him.
I gave it to Kim.
In a sense.
Go ahead.
So, yeah.
So he answered to me.
And we're like, all right, cool.
You know, we have the camera.
So I'm thinking in my head, I'm like, well, he thought he could.
You know, the agent said he got all the cameras.
I did not make cameras there.
And so I'm talking with him.
And he's like, I think, I think that's all the cameras.
I can't remember.
So, you know, they start doing, digging and doing their thing.
And they got down about six, seven feet, maybe eight max.
and they said, hold it up, stop, stop, stop.
Archer yells.
I'm like, what?
It's 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
He goes, we've been here all day, we're cold, we're hungry.
He says, we're going to pack it up for the night.
And we're like, you've only got like three, four more feet to dig.
He says, no, we've been here.
We said, we're going to go back to the hotel.
You guys go home, get a nice night arrest.
We're going to come back here tomorrow morning at 8 a.m.
We'll come up this hill together and we'll start digging right here where we left off,
were his exact words.
All right.
Us still being hopeful and gullible and everything, we're like, all right.
So we left.
Went down, got in the car, me and my dad, and warned together, and we left, came back to the house.
It's like the night before Christmas.
Again, part two, you know, we're like, oh, tomorrow's the big day.
Tomorrow's the big day.
We get up and we drive up there.
It was snowing briefly, nothing major, a few snow flurries.
We get up there and we get stomped.
Hold on, hold on, you know, Agent Archer's air.
He's got dirt on his knees of his gene or his khaki pants and everything.
And he cut himself somehow.
He was bleeding.
We're like, what's going on?
He says, I'm having a problem.
We're running into the problems with DEP and DCNR and the hole filled up with water.
And, you know, we've got to find a way to get the water out of the hole.
And it's a big stink.
You guys just stay in your car and stay warm.
Oh, okay.
All right. So we sit there and we're pondering what's going on.
Five, six hours later, we're in that car for five to six hours.
And DC&R was behind us.
And they were in their car for five to six hours.
They weren't even allowed up that mountain.
No way.
So we get done, you know, where we get out of the vehicle and what's going on.
Now, you know, we had all these big trucks and satellite trucks,
and they've had these side-by-sides, you know, the UTVs.
And so they got their run up and down the mountain.
So they had probably about three or four of those there.
And we're sitting there.
And we finally get out of the car and we started kind of raising a stink again.
We're like, hey, it's been five, six hours.
We're not doing us again.
What's happening?
And Agent Archer says, all right, let's go up the hill.
We're getting ready to dig the last three feet.
I go, yes, all right.
So we walk up there.
And the day before, all these FBI agents were talkative or, you know,
they're cheering, you know, talking, you're being nice and friendly.
we get up there, they're all stone-faced.
As we're walking up, you know, hey, good morning, how's it going?
Nobody would respond to us.
Nobody was talking.
It was like they were ordered.
Don't say anything.
Keep your mouth shut.
It was kind of weird.
It was eerie feeling.
They're in a circle around the hole.
Side by side like a wall.
The whole way around that's a hole.
There was a circle of FBI agents.
It was ridiculous.
They opened up a crack so we could squeeze in.
This is crazy.
So we walk in and I looked in the hole and the first thing I noticed was the size of the hole.
The day before it was 7, 8 foot deep and I had 3 12 foot by 12 foot.
Yeah, but the walls were square when we left the day before you had four square walls.
When I come back, I had three square walls, but the other one was tilted.
It was like it was backfilled.
And I'm like, what the hell is going on here?
but it was about seven feet deeper.
We're going up to dig the next three feet.
We go up when we find out somebody's already went down 13 feet.
They lied to us.
Oh, 13, 16 feet deep.
Oh, yeah, it was deep.
So the size of the hole was the first thing I saw.
The second thing that I noticed was that there was no water.
That hole was not full of water.
There was no water pump that was ever taken up that hill to pump the water out of this hole.
if they would have used the excavator, the buckets, to scoop the water out and dump it.
I looked around, there was all still fresh snow.
There was no signs of water being dumped anywhere.
I mean, this is when I started like, we're getting lied to.
There's a lot of lies going around.
Like, what the heck?
So we get there, and what it was said to you?
Well, Kim and Warren was ahead of me looking at the whole, like they opened up, two men got out of the waist,
we could step into the circle.
And then I was the last one in.
And I looked down in there at an archer's part, Jake Archer says,
Denny, look in the hole and tell me what you see.
I look down in there and I says, I don't see anything.
He threw his arms up.
He goes, that's it, everybody.
Let's go home.
There's nothing here.
And I go, whoa, whoa, wait a second.
And he goes, what?
I said, there's nothing here now.
It doesn't mean there wasn't something here yesterday or last week.
He goes, oh, don't you start, don't you start, Mr. Parada.
And I kicked in a high gear.
They didn't think I would do this.
I started yelling at him in front of 35 agents.
You're the one who wouldn't let us have any people on site while the dig happened.
You're the one who won't let us have our equipment up here before the dig.
There's a lot of things that don't add up here.
And I'm yelling at him.
Mr. Prada, do you see any gold?
No, I don't see any gold.
But then there's no gold.
Did you remove any gold from this hole?
Yes or no?
He wouldn't answer.
I said, did you find any gold?
down there. He says, did you see any gold? He looked, Kim, did you see any gold? No. Well, then you got
your answer. No, you tell me. Till this day, he's never told us he didn't, yes or no.
None of the, nobody in the FBI government. And I never answered that question to my lawyer and
nobody. They won't say yes or no to the answer. And even at one point, when we asked them,
what did you take out of the hole? And he says, I'm not telling you that. It's none of your
business. So I says, you had to find some kind of metal. We have a pig iron bleeding out. I've broken
in the cast iron containers.
Then he,
nothing was here.
I said,
well,
then I'm going to come back
because I got a lot of research
to do.
I got to figure it.
He said,
no,
you don't come back.
You're not going to do
anything.
This is done for it.
He says,
you have to take your garbage.
We found off the hilltop.
I looked over what garbage?
The first day,
they pulled down my,
those copper pins.
We lost camera.
There we go.
Yeah.
My phone just said 20%
battery life left.
Okay.
I had the copper pins
in the grass.
around eight feet long for the GPL to shoot electricity.
I had two of them where the gold was at, but I had six where the silver's at.
Now, the first day of their digging, they pulled two my copper pins out of the ground,
and they were laying there was some plastic paper.
And they asked me, are these your copper rods?
I go, yeah.
On day two, when we came back, there was six of them laying in the junk pound.
And I'm looking, I'm like, where did all these copper rods come from?
So I says to him, Jake, are you going to dig in the silver area?
He goes, Denny, we don't have time for that.
We're going home.
We're filling the hole in.
We're done.
And I kept saying to myself, well, they had to dig in the silver area because there's only two pins in the gold area.
So we got down off the hill.
There was a lot of suspicion.
Something was going wrong.
Nothing made sense.
Yeah, at this point, we were walking down the hill.
We were told we had to walk down the hill.
And as we got down the hill there, Warren Gellerster,
towards the green tent the same green tent we were in the day before that we were told to go into and as he gets nearby it the agent starts yelling I said don't you go near that tent because you stay right here don't you're not allowed to go near that tent and Warren's like why you guys don't treat me like I'm a dog like what you what we get down there and I'll never forget these words as we were just at the the do not police line do not cross and we were going on the other side of it agent archie
looks at us and goes, I'm telling you right now, you don't go to the media, you put nothing on
Facebook, you put nothing online, you tell nobody nothing that happened here. And he says, if you
do, there'll be serious repercussions. And then he turned and pointed at me and said, and you got your
law enforcement career to worry about. I went to the municipal police academy in 2009. I've been
active law enforcement clear up until this point, you know, 10 or 11 years at this time.
And those were, that statement was made to me. And I was just flat.
Abergasted.
So when Jake was walking away after he made that statement, I said, Jake, he told us to keep quiet
until the investigation was done.
I said, well, how long is it going to take for the investigation?
He turned around and he goes, I have no idea, Denny, and he walked away.
That's the last I spoke to him.
And we waited a year for something to happen.
Our lawyer says, what's happening with the investigation?
Of course, it's, you know, with DCNR, whoever did the digs and the offers and all that stuff.
and we don't hear nothing back
so my lawyer contacts
Newton and she wants to know
what's going on and stuff and they deny
any of this happen
and who's that who's the senator
Arnold Inspector
and I don't know he's the other one
Pat Toomey got in
he says I'll find out and they said there's
nothing in their files this didn't
happen and Pat Tooney says
you spend a half a million dollars in three
days you better have something when I come back
and now they came back and he said there's over
3,000 pages, 17 hours of video, thousands of photographs in the files.
Wow.
Yeah.
But they won't release anything.
Now, we got the legal rights to see all that.
We beat them in court.
We're supposed to get all those files.
The FBI says it'll take them four years.
And that's what the fight's been over.
We're going through courts now in the next couple of weeks to speed things up.
All right.
I mean, 17 hours of footage, what could they have recorded for 17?
hours. Digging. That's what it is. Now, see, my cameras are running full time. I record 15 minutes
of their cameras for 15 minutes video. They have a camera crew on the site, the FBI. I showed 15
minutes of recording time. They come up with 17 hours. I'm like, Jesus, what the hell did they record?
Yeah. That was day one, you know. It had to be there all night. Every bar, every coin, everything that came
out of the ground, have to be videotaped and photographed you.
All right.
So I know, one, your phone's dying and I know you got to run, Kim, here in about 10 minutes.
And so I don't want to, I got to ask a couple questions here real quick.
One, I'm assuming, because at first I was thinking FBI rogue agents, but I'm assuming it's more FBI
rogue than rogue agents individually.
And I want to ask about the camera for a second.
But before I do that real quick, Kim, I didn't know your active law enforcement now.
How does this whole thing sit with you being a law enforcement officer?
Is this like a whole new perspective that you're getting that you never knew even existed
it was possible before?
Or did you ever hear rumors of, yeah, the FBI does crazy stuff like this?
Well, I mean, I've always heard rumors and the stories like that.
I'm just small town borough, you know, police and stuff like that, nothing major.
And it's like I was never one for the,
the whole Illuminati conspiracy and all this other stuff, you know,
but I'm just seeing more and more of like the KGC, you know,
this whole underground organization that a lot of people don't know existed,
but there's documents and this stuff is coming to light.
And I'm like, holy cow, this might be true, you know,
like I was never one for the Illuminati or the New World Order and all that stuff.
I mean, I've seen as believing and I'm slowly seeing more and more stuff.
Kemp, I think you and I are around the same age.
Were you born in 85?
Yes.
Yeah, me too.
So I think you and I could be really good friends, buddy.
I think you and I could have some conversations with you.
You're like, oh, snap.
Yeah.
All right.
So I wanted to come back real quick to the camera, though.
You mentioned you saw your camera.
They missed the camera because they said they got all the cameras and stuff.
Maybe it's going over my head.
What was the significance of that part of this story?
Because you're like, because you handed it to somebody and like, you're a freaking genius.
Was it that you were, you caught them, you know, digging up the gold with that camera or what?
I got thousands of pictures of the dig from the day before when they showed up.
The whole way, it shows everything.
The lawyer says, oh, my God, did you give that to the FBI?
Because obviously they have to know about this.
I says, I handed it to him.
He goes, can you prove it?
I said, it took his picture, his face.
And he gave it to me.
He says, he gave it to you.
And you told him, it was a camera?
Because they're all legal.
He says, thank you.
And we have more of them up in the trees.
And they're all legal.
Everything was legal.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There were some up in the trees that I was not aware of that.
He hid and they got pictures.
Everything the FBI people were denying.
I proved a year later when I started releasing these pictures.
They said they couldn't dig very deep.
They went down 13 feet.
You can see the excavator going down.
I mean, it's a huge hole.
They tore that whole place.
So you literally got footage of all that stuff.
And so that's why when we were talking before, you're like, yeah, we're going to win this one.
Yeah.
I mean, we have pictures of the night before, you know, before dig day one of them up there overnight, walk around with Bulletproof Fest on and carrying ARs.
Oh, yeah.
The whole mountaintop was sealed off.
You had 70 some agents, 70-some FBI agents.
The cars down below 30-some, 35 them from all over the United States.
States tags and they had that mountain surrounded.
The thing is, we found out a month,
a couple, three, four months later.
A couple weeks later, and things started to fit together after the dig.
And people were calling us up and telling us, did you know they dug all night?
And we go, what?
They had jack cameras all night.
And the quads are running up and down, she said,
and they're filling up the back of these SUVs all night.
They're loading stuff from the mountain.
She said day one, she goes, when you guys all left at four,
clock she goes they came back at 7 p.m. and dug until 3, 2, 3 in the morning.
She goes, I heard them using the jackhammer and they did have a jackhammer attachment for that
excavator. It was up there. And the thing is, after the dig happened, and we didn't know it,
day two, we're sitting in our car. We didn't know the first convoy comes through at 8 o'clock in the
morning behind us. We didn't see it. And it goes to Hicks run. And it loads up. All these
SUVs are loading up something to these armored trucks.
And we didn't know anything about armored trucks until people around us started saying,
didn't you see all the armored humbys?
Didn't you see the armored trucks and all the humvees?
What are you talking about?
And we kind of established a timeline that they were moving this stuff around when they had us confined to our car.
They wanted us in certain locations, so we saw nothing.
At 6 o'clock at night, after the dig at nighttime, another convoy came in.
They sat at an armored truck at the Valley Farm Market for five hours.
FBI's in and out all day talking to these guys.
It's drawn all this attention, five hours, and then it takes off.
And with the convoy, goes to Dents Run, they shut down the roads into Dents Run.
They make people go back in their homes, don't come out, and they have the armored trucks in front of the green tent loading up.
Who does this stuff?
I mean, the armor trucks are coming after they dig, when they supposedly didn't find anything,
and they're making people stay in their homes and they shut the roads down.
There's a lot to this.
This whole thing is wrong.
There's a lot wrong, definitely.
Guys, listen, we're going to cut it here because I know we have to.
But we got to talk again because I have so much, man, so much questions.
But listen, before we get out of here, I want to give you an opportunity to let people know where can they find you guys online.
Is there social media you want them to follow, a YouTube channel?
or whatever you want to promote right now
as far as people to find information
about you guys or whatever, go ahead, this is the time.
Well, we do have a YouTube page.
It's Finders Keepers, USA.
The old man prospecting is our logo.
We do have Facebook, Finders Keepers page.
We have multiple pages.
We set a page up on Facebook for every site we do.
So if you search Densk Run, you should find it.
finders keepers does have its own page we're not too active on that we do have a website finderskeepers
usa.com you can go there and check out our stuff we don't update it regularly it's
web design is beyond my pay rate again so it did need severely updated too but the last guy that
did it has it's locked and i can't change it and i can't get contact with the guy to make her
edits. So we are looking for a new web design if somebody is interested and would like to take a
stab at it for us. Can I hit you with an update? Yeah. Since then, we've located the people who put
all that gold in at Dentron. KGC. We found their headquarters in Quihanna, Pennsylvania. We've been
for two and a half years working with DC&R. We've located what we believe is hundreds of guns underground,
in chambers, cannons, cannon, cannon walls.
These cannonballs, dead bodies, union soldiers.
We have all this.
We've been trying to get it dug up the last 30 days.
We're trying to get the governor down there.
But we found the KGC headquarters.
And you have no idea.
And we believe that this is the site that the southern, the south was trying to get to.
Because if they could have got beyond Gettysburg and made it to this headquarters,
they would have had enough ammunition and cannons and stuff to turn the war around.
And the cool, dense run.
Besides that, and with this.
note. We can talk about. The FBI didn't get all the gold attention. No. Yeah. Hey, we can, we can talk about
this in part too if you want. Agent Archer on site said to me, Denny, you're staring up at that
mouth. What are you looking at? I said, there's another cave up here with just as much gold. He goes,
where is it? I said, Jake, you screw me on this one. You won't get the other one. And since the last
three years, we've been keeping our mouth shut. Wow. Okay. We plan on going back to spring. Yeah.
So this whole thing's going to happen again.
