Yeah, I worked at Buckingham Correctional Center (MAX Security) in Dillwyn, Va.; had to cross GOLD MINE ROAD going to & from work EVERY time... I DID wonder about it. It WAS a mine up there, "in the old days"; ppl now-a-days DO "pan" the creeks, near-by... with SOME success. I don't, YOU can... HA! HH! Good Luck! Have FUN! BUT! BuCC does have a GUN RANGE, near-by; had to go there to qualify for my sub-nose 38 Special; don't get SHOT! Heh...
