Witnesses to FBI hunt for Civil War gold describe heavily loaded armored truck, signs of a night dig
PENFIELD, Pa. (AP) — In the heart of Pennsylvania elk country, Eric McCarthy and his client, Don Reichel, woke before sunrise to scour the forest for so-called “brown gold,” a rack of freshly shed antlers to add to Reichel’s collection. One hill over, a team of FBI agents was also hunting for gold.
