ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- The search for Caylee Anthony's remains got underway once again at Blanchard Park in East Orange County on Friday morning. Bounty hunter Leonard Padilla is heading the search with a team of volunteer divers even though he's facing an FBI lie detector test.

Padilla had everyone up in arms Thursday over claims that divers found bones in a bag in the Little Econ River (see map), but detectives quickly determined the evidence found by the bounty hunter's dive team was nothing but sticks and mud. Despite the chaos, Padilla says he's not giving up on his search for Caylee's remains.

"As long as these fellas are willing to go down there and look, I'm going to stand here, not go back to Sacramento and leave them out here in the middle of the water. As long as they are willing to go down there I'm going to stick around," he said.

Early Thursday afternoon, the dive team confirmed to Eyewitness News it had located several children's toys inside a plastic bag in the Little Econ River, including a plastic shamrock toy. The divers also claimed to have found three or four bones. Padilla said the bag appeared to have been weighted down by bricks (images | video).

But Orange County Sheriff's Office investigators said, in fact, there were no bones and the bag had nothing to do with the Caylee Anthony case. Padilla indicated he hadn't even seen what his divers had found.

"I don't know, I haven't seen any of it because they're over there and I'm over here," Padilla said.

Additionally, the shamrock toy turned out to be a Gumby toy.

"There is nothing at the scene that is credible or of a significant find," said Captain Angelo Nieves of the Sheriff's Office (watch full statement). "Nothing that was discovered has been retained by the Orange County Sheriff's Office."

When word got out of a possible discovery in the case, people rushed to Blanchard Park to see for themselves what divers had found.

"It's affected everybody. It's like a rollercoaster. It's got to stop somewhere, it's got to stop," said spectator Lois Peter.

Over 150 onlookers surrounded the scene and most said they were frustrated to learn the discovery was not connected to Caylee after all.

It is the third time that Padilla has organized a water search in the Little Econ River. Todd Bosinski is the owner of Blackwater Divers and organizing the dive team.

"We are going down, doing grid patterns and searching the bottom again to see if we can find anything else," said Bosinski.

The divers began Friday's search at 9:00am.

FOCUS TURNS TO PADILLA

After the FBI and sheriff's detectives looked over the find, their attention turned to Padilla.

"Mr. Padilla has been requested to take part in a polygraph that will be conducted by the FBI. We believe it is an important thing to do," Nieves said.

"It's meaningless, I have no problem with a lie detector test," Padilla told Eyewiness News (watch full interview).

Nieves also commented on Padilla's decision to inform media of the discovery before informing deputies.

"Law enforcement should have been the first call regarding this find, not the media," Nieves said.

Eyewitness News also talked with the attorney for Cindy and George Anthony, Mark Nejame, who has been critic of Padilla's role in the search.

"I would speculate that they have some questions about the integrity of the items that were found," Nejame said.

Nejame added that he is not surprised that Padilla has been asked to take a polygraph test. He said that is reason enough to doubt his motives.

ANTHONYS REACT TO PADILLA SEARCH RESULTS

A furious Cindy Anthony told Eyewitness news that Leonard Padilla knew right away that the items pulled from the water weren't related to her granddaughter's case, despite the display he put on for the cameras (watch full interview).

Cindy is adamant that Padilla put on a show for the media because someone in his crew sent her a text message right away to tell her it wasn't Caylee's remains that were found.

"He's said it's been about Caylee, but obviously his true colors are truly shown," Cindy said.

Padilla claims a cross found in the park could've been made with materials seen in Casey's room, but the Anthonys said he knew the sheriff's office had already ruled that out because they learned it was part of a memorial left for Nicole Ganguzza, the jogger murdered this summer.

"Someone's exploiting our family, exploiting our granddaughter, and that's wrong," George Anthony said.

EQUUSEARCH FOUNDER CLAIMS PADILLA TALKED ABOUT PROFIT

EquuSearch founder Tim Miller claims that Leonard Padilla talked about how they both could make money if they found Caylee's body. However, when the two men appeared on CNN's Nancy Grace show Thursday night, Padilla remembered the conversation very differently.

"I begged Tim to send his divers down because we only had one. I asked him on Sunday and I even went back by his headquarters and asked him, 'Please Tim, we can't pass up this opportunity if you've got the divers,'" Padilla told Nancy Grace.

Padilla went on to say the conversation ended with both men agreeing to send divers into the lake, but he said Miller's dive team never showed up last Monday.

Tim Miller, the founder of EquuSearch, a group that organized a massive weekend search for Caylee's remains, was very critical of Padilla.

"What a disgrace to society this man is for doing this kind of stuff," Miller said.

Miller said during the weekend search, Padilla had begged Miller to use his own divers to search the river. Miller recounted the conversation, saying Padilla said to him, "Tim Miller's divers out here, news cameras out here ... think how much money we could make, Tim."

ANTHONYS HOLD OUT HOPE

Cindy and George Anthony, Caylee's grandparents, remain steadfast in their belief that Caylee is alive.

"Stuff could've been planted," George Anthony said Thursday (watch full interview).

"He's crossed the line a few times, it's just Leonard," Cindy said. "From the time he stepped into Orlando off that plane, he said he's a media whore."

Cindy added that she thought all of Caylee's toys had been accounted for.

"I've got a tip from Coral Springs, Florida that Caylee's alive," said Cindy. "I haven't hard anything from the authorities and when they come tell us something we'll deal with that."

Coral Springs police said they did not believe that tip was valid, but said that the tip was sent to the Orange County Sheriff's Office. Early Friday morning Eyewitness News confirmed that there has been no break through in the case.

CASEY'S ATTORNEY MAKES NEW DEMANDS

Casey Anthony's defense attorney made more demands Thursday in the case against Casey. Jose Baez says the jail is unfairly forbidding him from bringing his laptop computer into the jail to work on the case. He wants a judge to order the jail to allow him to do it, but the jail says that is against its policy.

Baez also wants all the paperwork associated with the forensic testing that the FBI did in the case and to personally inspect the hairs that the FBI tested.
