I have a book titled: "100 Tons of Gold", by David Leon Chandler. Its a book about gold bars found in Victorio Peak.

I believe that may be the book that I have already read sphilips. I found it to be a rather interesting read and I did find said book for sale on amazon.com. Heck, it may even be on ebay. Some people in here should read that book if they are interested in this subject.

This was a neat story I read yesterday and got to thinking about it but couldn't remember in which forum I read the topic so posted a question in the cache hunting forum. How big and what's the weight of one of the gold bars supposed to be in this topic? Were all the gold bars back then made big and heavy? How much would say 100 of these gold bars be worth today?

This is my first post guys and in reference to everyones invites I'm ready to go lets do it. However I just recieved word that I am heading to the big desert ..... yes Iraq for Marine Corps duties. I will be back may of 2007 so I will catch up with you then. Oh yeah I am a 22 year old with a real strong back and an eager mind so I think that counts for something LOL. Maybe I will get lucky overseas and find a treasure ill bring my MD LOL

The gold bars from this story weigh about 66 pounds (30 kilos). That is unusual for older bars, and definitely not for rough smelted dore bars. Only refined bars in populated areas are that heavy. When dore bars are smelted in the field, they are referred to as "finger bars". They are smaller, and usually weigh about 2 or 3 pounds each (easier to stash and transport).

Hello friends,

I would like to say, Major gold mining in California started in 1848 during the California Gold Rush. Gold production in California peaked in 1852, at 3.9 million troy ounces (121 tonnes) produced in that year.

Best regards

I would be happy with two or 17 tons of gold.
