General Note
Accompanying note: "HE DUG UP GOLD BRICK - George Kornegay was building this fence when he dug up an object that turned out [to be] a gold brick. [With him are Jeanette, four, and Rickey, five]."

"At $32 an ounce, the brick, if it is solid gold would be worth $2,784."

A jeweler "suggested to Kornegay that he investigate the object's value as an historical artifact before disposing of it as gold."

I worked with Aero Commanders awhile back. They also made a very nice
business jet. Larger than a Lear. Not sure but I heard they sold the jet to
Israel to convert to a bomber.

I have always been more comfortable outside than "inside". If I am not treasure hunting, this is where I go and what I do.

Now that looks perfect for when I retire, as long as the place has only a few friendly neighbors, I would hope to live pretty comfortably on very little else.

Yes, trying to buy GF. Gold is down so paying a bit less than that old ad.

recovering from what? The storm in Crescent City? (not there yet) it is supposed to hit this weekend. 5-10" rain and 75MPH winds.
