The ruling came four months after Finders Keepers sued the Justice Department over its failure to produce records on the FBI’s search.
A federal judge has ordered the FBI to speed up the release of records, ruling Monday in favor of Finders Keepers, the treasure hunting outfit that led FBI agents to the remote site. The group accuses the Justice Department of slow-walking their request for information.
Finders Keepers’ owners, the father-son duo of Dennis and Kem Parada, spent years looking for the fabled 1863 shipment of Union gold that was supposedly lost or stolen on its way to the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia. The pair eventually led the FBI to a remote site 135 miles northeast of Pittsburgh where they say their instruments identified a huge hunk of metal.
On Monday, Mehta ordered the government to include Enviroscan’s report to the FBI, along with FBI photos taken at the site, in the first batch of documents it turns over to Finders Keepers.
