Hunt for Buried Civil War Gold in Pennsylvania


From the March 17, 2018, Aol  "The FBI is overseeing a hunt for buried Civil War gold in Pennsylvania"  Jake Jones.

In Pennsylvania, a treasure hunting group called Finders Keepers are excavating a site in Elk County where there is a legend that 26 gold bars were lost by Union forces in 1863 when the convoy was ambushed and the gold buried.

This "stash" would be worth $27 million in today's money.  The treasure-hunters are accompanied by the FBI and the Department of Conservation and Natural resources.
