I need someone in the state of Washington that has the time and means to recover 3 barrels of electrum concentrate

For "at least 1 million dollars" I would think anyone on this list, regardless of their location would be happy to pay their own way to get to Washington state, and just as happy to use that expense to offset the capital gains tax that would be owed on "at least 1 million dollars". Care to elaborate on what is involved in locating, acquiring, transporting and getting paid for this task? I've seen enough episodes of the Rockford Files to know that it's never as easy as it seems.

OK Ken, I'm in Washington.

I have loads of time, but as to "means" I have no idea what will be
required to to recover the barrels. Are they 50 Gal. or 30 Gal. barrels?

Also, what is "electrum concentrate", and if it's valued at over $1M
why didn't you travel here and recover it yourself? spider-0173.gif

A million? Nah. I'm working on a much bigger deal with a Nigerian Prince who is having difficulty getting his vast wealth out of his country. I've sent my bank account information and now I'm just sitting back waiting to be rich.

Sure, I'm always interested in a million dollars. Just send it in cash to my private p.o. box.

KenJmor2006 - You posted about this in 2016. Here's the link:

And here is the quote from his post:

Hello all,hope I have this posted in the right place,i have first hand knowledge of three barrels of concentrates that was sunk in a lake, it has been over 50 years ,the gold was sunk in the lake after a mine robbery the 3 men cut a hole in the ice (wintertime) and dropped three 30 inch by 18 inch oak barrels in the lake.The barrels weighted just over 200 pounds each, This was from a mine robbery. Now here is the problem, the water is approximately 15 feet deep where it was dropped There are some kind of stringy weeds growing from the bottom thick,so cant run a metal detector,nor see the bottom. I would like to hear ideas on how to proceed, Thanks for reading.......Ken

Oak barrels + 15' of water + 50 years = no more barrels. If the electrum is small grains or dust then no telling how much of it has been scattered by currents. It would be a good deal if it could be found and salvaged, but of the two it may be the salvaging that is makes it more effort than it's worth. If the exact spot is known, a dredging operation may be the best way to go once the remnants of the barrel hoops are located.
