There has always been more money in the shovels and the picks...what was his name? Brennan ,
Bannon some thing like that. You know, the guy that really got rich during the gold rush.
Sometimes if I don't want to turn 10 knobs on my V/SAT I'll fire up my $40 detector that will tell me if its a quarter or a penny I am digging!
It beeps when the TV ratings go up!Probably only beeps when over unobtanium![]()
Geo, if you go to Skagway Alaska, which was a route to get to White Pass during the gold rush, Soapy Smith's skull is painted on the rocks.
He ripped people off in a variety of ways. One was that he had a fake telegraph office. People would come in and wire home for money, and Soapy would tell them that something awful happened back home and THEY needed money.
I have a picture of the painted rock somewhere, with a buddy of mine on top of it for scale.
