I find it more fascinating with the honesty of those contractors!

I,d like to know the story behind the story. That area is known for lots of panners. Maybe someone found a sweet spot,
or maybe something more sinister. Either way, I doubt the current property owners will dig too deep. If they did, wouldn't it be neat to see them fork over 1/2 to the original owners heirs? They most likely had no idea.

Agreed that it's a happy story but unfortunately, the IRS is all over happy stories like this worse than fleas on a coyote. There should be a tax prohibition on happy finds like this.

It makes me wonder, too -- what % of all the happy stories like this one get quickly capped real tight and never become public info?

Wow! That reminds me of the town of Columbia in Gold Country. They eventually found gold under the foundations of the whole town--placer deposits.
