A Brief History: In 1974, Dennis P., current owner of Finders Keepers LLC, along with several of his furniture store co-workers at the time, sat down with a psychic. The psychic had been provided a story of a fabled stolen Civil War era cache of gold. Upon reading the story, the psychic, being overcome by voices that were not his own and with his eyes looking to the ceiling, brought his pen down upon a map laid out before him on the table and exclaimed, "Denny, i want you to go to this spot", and that spot was Dents Run.

Dennis narrowed the Dents Run search area down to a large boulder that straddled a dry run with a small void, just big enough for a man to crawl under. The boulder sat just to the side of an old roadbed that ran up the mountain and Dennis figured the void under the boulder ran up under the road and may have collapsed at some time in the past. Several decades were spent probing and enlarging out the passage, digging bore holes into the road and scanning the roadbed with various metal detectors, long range detectors and dowsing rods. Though no samples of gold were ever recovered, the instruments they were using indicated possible gold and silver under the roadbed.

In 2012, Dennis and his crew were trespassed from any further treasure hunting at the Dents Run site by the Pennsylvania DCNR for among other things, harassing, following and taking photos of Dents Run area residents and PA DCNR employees. They ignored this legal trespass notice and continued to probe Dent's Run until they were caught by a PA DCNR Officer over two years later and were again issued a follow up trespass order. Apparently out of options, in early 2018, Dennis contacted and met with the FBI to tell his story of Dents Run. Interested in his story, the FBI contracted a gravimeter test to be administered at Dents Run, which revealed a possible high-density mass of 7-9 tons. The FBI then obtained a warrant to excavate the site on March-12-14, 2018. After 3 days on the site, the FBI reported they found nothing at the dig site. Dennis did not believe this to be true and sought to have the warrant and the FBI files released to himself and the public. After 4 years, the majority of the file has been released by the DOJ. We will be critically examining the evidence contained in the FBI file, the legal filings of Petitioner (Finder Keeper LLC) and any past and present claims of Petitioner.
