On the last day of the most recent hunt, "Nemo" was sent down to the wreck. Some burlap-wrapped bundles were found in or near the crews' quarters. Was it worth it to bring them up? What if they contained miner's equipment or something else of limited historical (or, to be honest here) monetary value?

The decision was made to recover them. Turned out to be a good idea!

The bundles contained gold nuggets and gold dust - one or more successful miner's recoveries.

Good luck to all,

I too had a good day at the office! Got the two books you sent along with the wanted posters. The books look really good, I hope I can read them before the cookout!
Thanks,

You are, of course, quite welcome! I hope your post encourages others to donate what they can, when they can.

As for the "Wanted Posters" - any information on that famous silver bar will be appreciated!

Good luck to all,

The Old Bookaroo
