397: The Lost Gold Of Dents Run | The Confessionals

397: The Lost Gold Of Dents Run | The Confessionals

In 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 Civil War treasure made up of 52 gold bars that went “missing” while being transported from West 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.

  2. Lone-wolf Hatchet jack on May 21, 2023 at 7:06 am

    Death too all tyrants…….

  3. Nick Warner on May 21, 2023 at 7:07 am

    Mind Blowing …. I have books about supposed treasure, gotta stay quiet though🤫

  4. Michael Berry on May 21, 2023 at 7:09 am

    When they fill the hole in it shouldn’t have filled completely in if they took that much material out of the ground., there should be hole still there.

  5. Scrap iron on May 21, 2023 at 7:12 am

    Did anyone ever see the gold or silver anything, if so who did facts are facts, did anyone see this treasure so we have proof

  6. Dale Weaver on May 21, 2023 at 7:13 am

    Bro i used to hunt up in st marys and remember when all this was goin on but never heard anymore about it till now. Im totally blown away. Great show and please dont let it end here. Keep us posted

  7. Brett Thibodeaux on May 21, 2023 at 7:13 am

    One of the more fascinating stories I’ve come across in recent memory. New fan of the channel. Top notch quality content. Bravo!

  8. Curve57 on May 21, 2023 at 7:13 am

    The government isn’t your friend. They are the thugs. I would bet the queen has it. What an amazing story to have lived. That is worth more than the gold and the elite will never understand that

  9. Mark Hastings on May 21, 2023 at 7:14 am

    Unfuckin believable

  10. Kevin Doble on May 21, 2023 at 7:14 am

    This is nothing but a documentation of how the deep state operates inside Our own government, do we even have a actual legitimate operating government anymore? Sure there’s good people in the FBI but do those good people take orders and answer to..the deep state? You know full well this gold went to one of the elite families, whoever ultimately owns the FBI. Something to that extent, clearly happened here and who’s going to fix it? When? I could feel the way these men felt, telling their story and I could tell you they should have never left that hill that last night before the last morning,they Completely lied about taking it and have as of now still gotten away with this. I’m sick to my stomach,I can’t imagine how these guys really feel. Fucking disgusting corruption.

  11. Ragnwoody on May 21, 2023 at 7:15 am

    The Feds got the gold in Dec 2019. The silver part is still around there.

  12. William Schmidt on May 21, 2023 at 7:15 am

    FBI played them like fools

  13. Andrea Mills on May 21, 2023 at 7:17 am

    Atocha ? What’s the Atocha have to do with the civil war ? 🤔

  14. Vanessa Mcqueen on May 21, 2023 at 7:18 am

    lol the war is against the people …….WE THE PEOPLE LOST THE WAR ON DRUGS

  15. Patrick Edgley on May 21, 2023 at 7:19 am

    Very cool

  16. Walter Paul on May 21, 2023 at 7:28 am

    Dude That was awesome! Thanks Tony

  17. The Confessionals on May 21, 2023 at 7:30 am

    DO YOU THINK KEM AND DEN WILL WIN THEIR CASE AGAINST THE F.B.I. IN COURT?

  18. Professional Tobogganist on May 21, 2023 at 7:31 am

    Just wait just wait just wait, the problem with the whole story is that governments love and care for you and take care of you. They never lie. How fuckin gullible does one have to be their whole life to? My old man taught me there’s always three sides to every story. Right, wrong and truth. All in between there there’s lots to figure out but ALWAYS question. Thank fuck I got more food than 99/100 people cause government’s don’t lie.

  19. Julie Stanton on May 21, 2023 at 7:32 am

    This is COMPLETE BS😡 I wanna say I can’t believe it but, unfortunately, I can. So sorry this happened guys!

  20. Shadowtime Writer on May 21, 2023 at 7:33 am

    The government is organized crime, State to Federal. I hope you get your share of that treasure.

  21. SkunkMonkey991 on May 21, 2023 at 7:34 am

    ALL of the alphabet agencies are corrupt! Love to hear who made "offers".
    Hope these folks get justice.

  22. Northern Lightz on May 21, 2023 at 7:34 am

    Wow excellent 👏 👌 👍 😀

  23. Melissa Ilene Purvis on May 21, 2023 at 7:34 am

    This is crazy I can’t believe they got robbed

  24. Professional Tobogganist on May 21, 2023 at 7:35 am

    if they were going by the psychics predictions how come they didn’t walk 32 feet on top straight back like he was told it would be and start digging?

  25. Cal Gal on May 21, 2023 at 7:36 am

    Yes! Enjoyed the show, it ended too early.

  26. David Garcia on May 21, 2023 at 7:36 am

    Going to tell you about this again cause it’s your newest video and you might read this . I hear Bigfoot has a smell that people can remember. If you have a credible Bigfoot person get them on your team and when you go out get a nasal ranger. It’s like a telescope for your nose that can smell thing for miles from what I understand. I think it’s like a couple grand but hey get Tim cast to sponsor your channel and buy one for you and try and get some stuff no one has seen. Never seen anyone try this and it could help. Hell get the company that makes it to sponsor your site and see if you can use and promote it. Not sure how good it is but hey see if they will let you try it for a month and if it works use it and if it’s garbage don’t.

  27. sally emerson on May 21, 2023 at 7:37 am

    Wow!! Can’t wait for part 2!!! Thank you

  28. Scrap iron on May 21, 2023 at 7:38 am

  29. Think Strong on May 21, 2023 at 7:38 am

  30. Quantum Leap on May 21, 2023 at 7:41 am

  31. Mark D on May 21, 2023 at 7:42 am

    Great episode. Up there with the one about the secret military enochian technology.

  32. Aj Tao on May 21, 2023 at 7:42 am

    After watching these guys story about treasure hunting, I learned to never get any Govt agents or agencies involved!

  33. Tusk 1157 on May 21, 2023 at 7:42 am

    Copperheads were northern war protesters not some kind of southern marauders.

  34. FR33DOMF1GTH3R on May 21, 2023 at 7:44 am

    This story is insane can’t wait for them to come back! Rogan needs to have them on!

  36. James Pilkington on May 21, 2023 at 7:48 am

    Great episode Tony. I was hooked. Made the last 2 hours at work fly by lol. Love from the u.k xx

  37. larry martin on May 21, 2023 at 7:49 am

    I’m from close to dents run

  38. larry martin on May 21, 2023 at 7:49 am

    Me and my wife are going to Clearfield on Saturday to go to grices gun shop and look at a few guns and definitely get some ammo..t&d picks up the dies and liners from the place I work

  39. pacificcoast on May 21, 2023 at 7:49 am

    I’ll be the contrarian. I don’t believe anything was found or recovered. I don’t think the FBI hid anything from these nice people. I think Archer was just upset because once the hole was dug he realized he had made a mistake believing the story. He got drawn in, allowed the 2nd independent GPR company to further fuel his interest and now he had to head back to the office with his tail tucked between his legs and explain to his boss how he invested so much investigative time, man power, effort, and money in nothing more than a "ridiculous treasure hunt." When nothing was found he realized this event was going to follow him around forever, this was now his legacy and reputation, and he would be teased and laughed at mercilessly back at headquarters. He was probably furious and embarrassed because he believed so strongly there was something there himself, and going back empty handed would forever cost him professionally.

  40. photogr4u on May 21, 2023 at 7:53 am

    WOW! This is a GREAT update to this adventure, I have been kind of following this story ever since I bought the first video when I had visited Bennezette to photograph the wild Elk. Can’t wait for more on this.

  41. Ryan Hubbard on May 21, 2023 at 7:53 am

    Unbelievable, these guys got screwed by state government, what made them think they could trust the federal? They should have had they’re own spies and drones to watch when told to leave mtn. Then they disclose other treasures to feds after??? Honestly sad to say but I don’t feel that sorry for them. I would like to see that they would get some portion of it but we all know that’s never going to happen

  42. The Dark Portal on May 21, 2023 at 7:54 am

    Wanna be Rogan Show, even copied his emblem, thats low man.

  43. Edgar Torres Santiago on May 21, 2023 at 7:56 am

    I’m so glad I found your channel . I love all these stories Thankyou ….. keep them coming brother

  44. Racheal Rock on May 21, 2023 at 7:57 am

    I’m confused . At first you said you weren’t allowed to dig on state land . Now your drilling ?

  45. WENDY on May 21, 2023 at 7:59 am

    And now they’re making people believe if they wait in their car for 6 hours to get a deadly toxin shoved up their nose they’ll be doing the "Right thing".

  46. Sean Brown on May 21, 2023 at 7:59 am

    Did he say "The Atocha"? That was a Spanish galleon that wrecked in 1622 and was located in the 1980s by Mel Fisher off the coast of Florida. Hardly connected to Lincoln or the Civil War.

  47. Lemuel Miller on May 21, 2023 at 8:00 am

    Hey, what video are the clips in the intro from? I’m a new listener and would like to hear those stories.

  48. Scott J. on May 21, 2023 at 8:00 am

    Great show, man.

  49. Alice Miller on May 21, 2023 at 8:03 am

    Good story but I am not sure I believe everything the father is saying. If gold was found by the government, we will never be told the truth! Sleepy Joe has already spent it 100 times it’s value anyway. Probably went to refund the Taliban.

  50. ZeusTheGod on May 21, 2023 at 8:05 am

    Bigfoot and Cryptids and these lost gold caches are why we have these state and Federal lands where we the public who should own it and have access to these areas should be allowed on able to dig for it if we have the where with all to do it.
