0:05 Welcome back careful boys. So there's a guy he found a bunch of Civil War gold on his property. Wow. Yeah, like a ton of Civil War gold and he decided to do the right thing and he called the FBI. So stupid. What that's so And then you know what? They lost it. OH, WOW. CHECK THIS OUT. A new court filing reveals allegations of a secret gold rush in the woods of Dents Run, Pennsylvania. We feel we were double-crossed and lied to. Dennis Parada, a treasure hunter, is suing claiming years ago he detected a possible trove of gold and silver buried underground that could be worth millions and led the FBI to it. We brought them up here in the snow, set the GPL up and set the test off and the machine lit up gold. I mean, it was bright. The
0:56 light bulb almost blew out. Area folklore has it in 1863 during the Civil War army soldiers lost a shipment of gold in the Pennsylvania wilderness. Parada says his tip to the FBI in 2018 culminated in a secret dig in the middle of the night that even he didn't know about and claims the government has been covering up the findings. >> I could hear the noise and I was like and I looked in that whole hillside, I said it was so bright. They had the biggest lights out there. I went back the day after they dug with all my equipment and we didn't get no more gold or silver readings. The dispute has turned into a legal battle with the FBI in previous court filings acknowledging a team was sent to do testing admitting tons of gold might be buried there but saying nothing was found and it quotes continues to unequivocally reject any claims or speculation to the contrary.
1:48 Parada doesn't buy it and it's That's so sad. >> is That's so sad, man. >> FBI? Why did he call anybody? What the ████ Wait, what what call my mother about it. But the FBI has nothing to do with antique like antique gold and like I don't I think you have a direct number to the FBI. I'm pretty sure you called it and got lit up into the chain somewhere and then the FBI came through. Once you see the FBI, you're done. It's over. How much do you think though is it like a handful of those guys did it like on the side? Cuz they were like, "Okay, we're going to come back later." It's not FBI. Yeah, but it's like it's not official FBI. I think if it was like crates of drug money cash, I think it's very easy to believe that because like washing that is a lot easier than like Civil War era like treasure trove of
2:38 gold get or some ████ Yeah, you know, cuz like what's the gold in there? It's like probably actual like little gold coins and bars and whatever, you know, like to you would have to work so hard to figure out how to Yeah. Go to Tracks NYC. Yeah. >> The fact that they deny it too is so funny. Like he called them, they he saw them up on the hill and like Denying means it was a huge amount. >> Massive find. I think the first step you probably need to call a lawyer if he had it and then see how he can be protected and what you should do. He owned >> Step is dig up the ████ gold, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then maybe call a lawyer. land himself that was his his own land that he owned? They didn't say. They didn't say. Say it was his property. I think that makes it very, very Oh, well, look at >> been federal land. Dude, case ████ closed. It's not his property. Yeah. No, let's reopen the case. You secretly dig up the gold yourself, move it off the
3:29 site, >> to your house. >> find it in your backyard. >> Well, remember how uh He has no rights to it if it's not his property. >> saw this one. Oh, okay, student American. Well, isn't that true or no? I just >> trying to find a way to have him get away with it. >> Well, yeah, that's a different But that's a whole different thing. >> Netflix movie, I think it's the rip with Matt Damon. Yeah, I just saw that the rip, right? And they're talking about how it's fun. It's you know, Netflix streaming ████ It's fun. And they talk about how like when when people give tips to Narks or whatever about how there's like a drug bust or there's cash in a house, they're they're entitled often times to like 20% commission of whatever the finding is. Whatever the rip it actually is or something like that. There's got to be something >> Like a finder's fee? Yeah, there's got to be a commission doing the proper thing. Like let's say it was a national
4:19 forest. So then you have to talk to the feds somehow and then maybe they kicked it up up upstream and then yeah. Specifically signs where it's like you can't Yeah, no trespassing or something like that. But like there's got to be some version of like hey, this you know stand up citizen found $2 million in my gold blah blah blah and then on the side it's like here's 200 grand. >> Unless the sign says Civil [snorts] War site, do not enter. >> Yeah. I found Civil War things on the Civil War sign. [laughter] Because because here's the problem. Let's say you even do get a lawyer, right? Assuming there's even some weird historical precedent to a case like finding Civil War treasure trove. But like what what happens when the lawyer is like hey, he found it and the FBI is like nothing was there.
5:10 It's and it's like the government. That's what you got to take possession. That's what I'm saying. You get it, take it back home, dig a hole in your ground, bury it into your house into [laughter] your your ground. You bury And and then call the lawyer. Hey, I think I found some I think I found some stuff in my own backyard. And then the lawyer kills you. So here's the question, right? Because it was [laughter] government owned, right? But at the same time it wasn't the same government. It could have been southern, who knows, right? They don't exist no more. But they could claim that it was always government property. We're just getting it back. But that doesn't apply to us. Let's say if we buried some ████ cash and then something happens, I forgot where it was, someone else like now owns the property that was buried in. If they found it, is it mine anymore?
6:00 Can I go back and be like, "Thanks, dude. I lost that." Civilian rules and government rules are different, for sure. If you bury something that belongs to you in land that doesn't belong to you, then it's not yours no more. What if it What if it still belonged to me then? But someone else found it on my land. On your If it's on your own land, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. But that's what I'm like That's what I'm like, what do these guys expect? Because it's not his land. It's like finding >> know that it was It's not his land, though. That's what I'm assuming, though. But he's a treasure hunter. Yeah, I think it's not. >> Yeah, he's hunting somewhere else. That's like going to La Brea Tar Pits, and I found ████ dinosaur bones. [laughter] just like finds readings of ████ and then this was just too big It was like above his pay grade of what he could afford to like take out the earth, so he did the right thing. But there it's not entitled to him either way. Like they're
6:50 not going to Unless Unless he plunders it, there's no shot. >> it work if you find like treasure in the ocean, which isn't really anybody's ████ I guess they just say it's like our It's our our ocean water? >> think if you find anything anywhere and you call the FBI, it you have no entitlement to it no matter what. Would you be considered like a grave robber or like some type of thief if you went there, took it, and you just said didn't tell anybody? Like, what's the consequence of that? Cuz I'd rather pay for forgiveness than be like, "I'm telling." I think if it's protected land, then you'd be like a grave robber of some sort. But if it's like, let's say BLM land, I don't know. It's similar to oil. So, like you have prospectors that go around trying to find oil and natural gas readings all over the earth. When they find it, they have to take out a lease for underneath
7:41 the crust, basically, so that they can take it out. They have to own or lease the land that that stuff is in. They can't just get it, even if they know it's there. >> If you're a treasure hunter, you you spend your whole life dreaming about a find like this. >> [laughter] >> Dreaming about it, right? Every time you go up there with your stupid instrument ████ you're you're like, this could be crazy. To give it away like that to the F- to the Feds is just nuts. >> what I mean. It was never It was never his. What he had to do was have some ████ private contractor company take it out. And then they have to basically commit a crime and get away with it. >> [clears throat] >> But if he's going to go FBI, that's why I'm like, that's ████ that he's like, "They didn't tell me that they were going to go up there and and look." They don't have to say ████ after you told them it's there. Like, you're not the owner of the land. Especially if it's like a fed land. Yeah, exactly. And if it's something that they have a record of like knowing that possibly the Civil War gold was like lost there.
8:31 >> "Thanks, bro. You did the work for us." Who knows? They could just make that whole ████ up. They could just be like, "Oh, actually, we actually know historically there was gold there, so it's okay." Like, bro, you just lost >> 100%. But then also, what this does is like further create like, "Okay, I can't trust the government." Absolutely. PR-wise, it's horrible for the FBI. It's kind of like, "See?" Yeah. The little gold diggers. >> [laughter] >> No, the public. I think the public. Like, I I watched this and I go, "The FBI? You can't trust them anymore." But what do you What do you mean? But they don't owe you anything. They don't owe you an explanation of what they're doing. It's not your land. >> a shady move. Like, they should have at least recognized the dude and been like, "Thanks." And then made the gold public and be like, "Look." And then make a celebration out of it. Bad PR, but like, in my lifetime, I've never had to call the FBI yet. So, even You know what I mean? It's not like that PR matters that much. If anything, I think my government
9:22 got richer. Like, I would say the regular like soap opera mom, if they saw this, they'd probably Oh, yeah, the government's getting their own stuff back. That's so true. I think us, we're scoundrels and we'd be like, "F███ the FBI." But I think Yeah, I think regular soccer moms would be like, "Oh, yeah, the government's getting their own stuff back. Oh, how nice." Because people would think FBI wouldn't act so shady. Like, that's why it's a shock. Like, and then that's why he called the the whoever they did, and then they he met openly with the FBI. He was transparent. Where all of us are like, "Oh, that's stupid." >> If I find a treasure trove, and treasure's the wrong word, of like, let's say like a hundred dead bodies, absolutely I'm not going to plunder that. I'm definitely calling the FBI. >> THIS IS DEAD BODIES. >> YEAH, WE WE YOU CAN'T sell them. >> you want it? You want someone to haul that away. Say the dead bodies all were wearing ████ jewelry and stuff. What would you do? Would you plunder the jewelry and then call the FBI for the
10:13 bodies? >> It's gross. It's like, well, there's a million dollars, but you have to dive in a whole pile of ████ to get a million dollars. It's like, I don't want to swim in ████ There's a I'll answer you off camera. There's a really This is like a example that I know of that kind of ties in a little bit, but there's a really famous van that was from like a 70s movie, and this guy had discovered it abandoned in the desert in this random ass like ridge. Just super abandoned. Had a tree growing through it. This guy went to the police, and he asked if he could take that away and restore it. And then they were like, "Oh, it probably it's probably owned by the land's probably owned by some people, but this thing's been sitting there for ████ 50 years. You go ahead and take it." So, the cops actually let him take it. So, he takes the van, he restores it, becomes this huge thing on social media that the guy's restoring the wild cherry
11:04 van from this like 1970s movie. And then, once the van is completed in restoration, the family that owned the land came after him after ownership of the van. But, they were allowed to do that because it was their land. So, even if a cop, or even if an official tells you it's fine to do it, they can be wrong, too. And then you'll just get, you know, >> a lawyer first. >> Yeah, so even if he were to Yeah, even if he were to do this thing and tell the FBI, "Hey, I found this gold," and the FBI said, "Take a little bit for yourself." Someone could come back later and get that from him. Yeah, if it was owned by like a cattle rancher It doesn't even matter. It's almost like you just have to be alone with the situation as long as you can. So, don't trust nobody. Go dig it out yourself. >> tell anybody ████ and just get your stuff. >> Bury your ████ in your yard and then find it. No one No one has to know. >> To miss it? God damn, all the people that know about that ████ are gone?
11:54 Yeah. Come on, it's kind of tight. Once in a lifetime he blew it, dude. He blew it. Yeah. He probably didn't want to get in trouble for excavating it. >> Yeah. See, that's what happens when you're too honest. >> [laughter] >> That's what happens when you don't have heavy machinery. And you're old so you can't dig it out. He could probably rent an excavator. He said he went the next day with all the equipment. So, he had he could have done it. >> to go by himself. >> No, he went the next day when he heard that everybody had like gone there He went with the his detector thing. He didn't go with like a bunch of excavation. Yeah. He went to get meetings, yeah. That's why they show that graph, but man Ouch. Oofy doofies. That's an oofy doofy. >> if if I find ████ like that, I'm calling you guys and we're going with a ████ dumpster. Bro, I feel like there's no way he would have got away with it. If he took that gold out and then he like
12:44 say he like fenced it all and then in his tax records are like where did you get this money? And then eventually they would find that ████ out. They would take it all from him. Damn, Omicron. There's no hope in your heart. >> Find a way though. It's too hard cuz it's not his land. He should have done a lease on the land even if he couldn't afford it and then taken that ████ out. Oh my god, that'd be tight. Omicron's black pilled, dude. >> [laughter] >> I could have taken it and done things with it. >> [laughter] >> It looked like it was hella deep though. Yeah. You see that freaking >> You definitely need to Yeah. >> see that graph? >> [laughter] >> If you ████ find like the biggest treasure of your life, you're you're going. Like I'm I'm I'm digging for 3 years if I have to. >> If he did a lease on the land like really ████ like went under in debt to lease the land and then took the gold out? Imagine, he goes under in debt, he leases the land, he excavates it, it
13:36 wasn't actually gold, now he's just super in debt. >> [laughter] >> That's what I'm saying, like That's an Anthony move. Okay, it took the FBI a couple [laughter] of hours to do it. He just needed an excavator and some homies. Get that ████ out. No, just do it illegally. >> I would do it illegally first, yeah. Yeah, I'm telling you. How many times have you guys seen a ████ excavator and you're like, "I'm calling the police, this looks fishy." >> Never, not once. >> [laughter] >> You find a suitcase on the floor, a bunch of cash in it, a little bit of blood on the outside, out somewhere. >> How much cash is At least a million cash. >> Okay. But there's like blood. Someone was on their period, I don't care. Yeah, it was a period. I'm taking it. I'mma Airbnb a place in ████ Shanghai for a month and I'll think of a plan. >> [laughter]
14:26 >> But I'mma remove myself How are you taking What are you taking a million dollars in in cash to Shanghai, bro? That's risky. I got to go to ████ Yellowstone or something, but I got to go somewhere far.
