Great read, I think I would have kept at least one of those bars just to have, to be able to hold and show people to see the look on their face!

Actually, that story is from Ron Quinn himself, I was the first person he let me make hi res scans of all his pics. Here we are at his place a few years ago making those scans:

I had originally planned on resurrecting the old "Treasure Hunter's Confidential" Newsletter. His story was one I wanted to put in the first edition, but a couple of the people that that were associated with the old version of the newsletter stepped in and wanted money, so I just blew off that plan. I added the story to my website, not wanting to reveal Ron's Identity, but since he has published his own book with that story, I don't feel the need to keep his name secret any more.

To anybody wanting a good read, get his book! I highly advise it!

Today you'd need to turn that into the police so they could auction it.

I'd be just running right down to the station to do that too...
