A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.

By communication dated October 10, 1975, the Los Angeles Division advised as follows:
On the afternoon of October 8, 1975, six Special Agents equipped with Bureau metal detectors conducted a search of the area as described by DAVID ARTHUR STAUDT without locating any evidence of buried ammunition cans. These Agents remained on the site the night of October 8, 1975, and resumed search at sunrise October 9, 1975. They were joined by nine U.S. Marine Corps personnel equipped with Marine Corps metal detectors and entire area depicted on map was searched three separate times. Numerous metal items, such as nails, horse shoes, beer cans, etc., were located below the ground surface and dug up; however, again no ammunition cans or loot was located. Additional photographs of area were taken and are being processed. From explicit directions originally given by STAUDT it is obvious that this is the area he was describing. It is also apparent that he is completely familiar with the area. The only discrepancy in STAUDT's original story is that there are seven concrete slabs located in the parking lot instead of five as STAUDT originally stated.
Los Angeles also furnished the following map detailing the area in which the search was conducted and referred to previously:
