Has $55million worth of lost gold from the Civil War era been found in central Pennsylvania?

That's what locals seem to believe after FBI agents, Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and treasure hunters Dennis and Kem Parada were seen digging around a remote area in Benezette Township, called Dents Run. 

Dennis and his son Kem, the owners of the treasure hunting organization Finders Keepers, have claimed for years that 52 gold bars were buried under a fire pit at Dents Run more than 150 years ago during the Battle of Gettysburg.

Now, that I have read the article, I gather that one can not just go meddling into a national park, military park, maybe national monuments as well or else, I'd think this FindersKeepers organization would go after these gold bars.

But somehow they think they know its down there.

It's not in the park.  It's in an obscure location northwest of State College, far from the ambush site or where the wagons were heading.
