FBI agents and representatives of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources set up a base in March, 2018, in Benezette Township, Elk County, Pa. A lawyer for a father-son team of treasure hunters is accusing the FBI of either lying to a federal judge about having video of its 2018 dig for legendary Civil War-era gold, or illegally destroying the video.

The duo believes the FBI recovered a huge cache of gold and have sued for information about the dig. (Katie Weidenboerner/The Courier-Express via AP, File)
