Treasure Hunters Say ‘Incontrovertible Photographic Evidence’ Proves #FBI Filmed Legendary #Gold Find

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has been accused of hiding its 2018 discovery of a massive trove of lost gold dating to the Civil War from both treasure hunters to whom it might owe a finder’s fee and the US state of Pennsylvania, which would likely claim the gold for itself as abandoned property.

According to legend, during the US Civil War, a huge amount of gold was hijacked by Confederate sympathizers in 1863 while on its way to the US Mint in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Mint records from the era haven’t survived, so there’s no verification any gold shipment ever went missing, but if it did exist, it would be worth millions of dollars today.
