    The Paradas spent five years digging in a cave on state land and two more years drilling atop the cave before going to the FBI in January with their evidence.
    I'm an amateur metal detectorist/prospector, and after researching a site and hoping to be on the verge of something I've never ever thought to myself, "better call the FBI and let them know what I'm looking for." Obviously I've never looked for nor found any even remotely close to what these folks found (the best thing I ever dug up was a $5 gold half eagle). Like Neuro said, what is wrong with people? How does this even enter their minds?

    I'm sure there was a clear reason for calling The State (public cave/drilling/depth) video looks like a caldera coulda caved the cave...

    Not sure why FEDERAL B.I. would be called in?

    The state may have had a bill that need be paid or were too dumb/incompetent to see easy money.

    I know this was touched on by more than a few people -- but I don't feel sorry for them. If you're going to reach out to the FBI [of all agencies....], you deserve to get nothing. Here's an epic instance of wtf were you thinking?
