Thanks for the article! I’ve spent a lot of time in Danville (years ago). The only “gold” I saw, was Hyster yellow!
A lot of it, too.

Yea, I guess anything is possible but who knows. I am in Central Illinois and one pan might yield three fly poops and the next ten might not have any. Anyway, it's sure fun to see that little piece of gold sticking to your pan bottom. Thanks for the interesting post.
