Glad no body was hurt at least. You guys out there be on the lookout for anyone with some new specimens.

That's a rotten thing for anyone to do--some people have no respect or honor--greed and dishonor are the only things driving them.

They didnt just rob the Museum, they robbed the kids and adults alike that visit too.

We were on our way to Coulterville and when we went by the fairgrounds, they were police swarming all over that place. We thought maybe it was just their command center for the Mariposa Tomato festival. Hang them high until they rot and fall and shoot anyone who trys to cut them down...

 

[russau]

its probly all melted by now and unidentifiable.

 

[Hoser John]

I pray your wrong Russau, but not a single gram of the Yreka gold theft was ever found and they even had a long video of the heist in action, sic sic sic devastating loss to kalif miners golden legacy-John

Sad story. I just dont understand why there isnt some type of gps tag inside these big nuggets. Im just glad they werent able to get the frigot nugget. I heard they got good video of these scum bags car jacking a truck at pioneer to do the job with. That in my book is a great development.

Wasnt that a repro of the Fricot nugget?

 

[CharlesP]

I thought it was real. I could be wrong. But it sure is under a heavy lock and key for a fake.

 

[CharlesP]

Edit. i just realized they haven't said if the frigot nugget is gone this has to be some of the worst reporting ever done. No details nothing. Its almost as the state is embarrassed about there lack of security not in place.

I just looked it up. It's the real deal. 13 pounds of gold sitting in a safe behind bullet proof glass. . It's crazy to think someone forgot they had this In a safety box somewhere for 50 years.

Hard Times here in Cal.
Media should have never reported - " gold would be pretty much unsellable on either the legitimate or black markets in their natural form" ... "They probably would take them to an oxyacetylene torch and just melt them down into blobs of gold" Dang Fox news. Its melted for sure now (Sad). Should have waited for attempted sale. Dang dirty media. F'M' All

I'll buy it from the thieves...payment will be in lead (heavy lead).

they didnt get the Fricot nugget
A local guy here had 30 something oz stolen in broad daylight here a few years ago...they caught the kid,but never recovered the gold.He is serving 5 years and I guarantee will be living off that gold in Mexico,when he gets out

With a name and release date we could give him a ride to the border. Bet it's covered tho.
