GTALLEN Valued Member United States 315 Posts	Posted 08/27/2011 8:23 pm I have heard many "rumors" of pumping the water from the Tombstone mines and reopening. The only reason it closed was the pumping tech of the time was unable to keep up with the water and the price of silver and gold was too cheap to operate it. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter53562 Pillar of the Community United States 2049 Posts	Posted 08/27/2011 9:04 pm I love Modern Marvels and love this show. I have DVR'd a few of these including the silver mines, diamond mines, and one about money. The shows are always so well done and worth watching. Report this Post to the Staff
GTALLEN Valued Member United States 315 Posts	Posted 08/28/2011 10:42 pm The episode of the BEP is very good. Especially the part of the "super note". There are counterfeit $100 made by the North Koreans. The only way they are identified is when they are returned to a Fed branch and destroyed. Also, the $100,000 bill was pretty interesting also. Even the manufacture of the "paper" was interesting. Report this Post to the Staff
