Awesome! : )



Near where I live there are hundreds of abandoned gold and silver mines, and yes... they did pass right by thin gold veins ignoring them in search of the "motherlode" veins. The US Geological survey estimates there is still some 80 billion metric tons of gold left here in Arizona which has yet to be unearthed, mostly in the same 20 mile square area, only with all the hundreds of old mines the water table which much of the gold resides below has become contaminated with arsenic and radioactive metal particles. I have seen 15 year old footage of divers in them though passing right by 8 inch wide 4 foot long solid gold veigns which were ignored when the shafts were originally cut, but the divers in intense expensive protective gear could not stay even 30 minutes in that water to explore or extract.
