I have seen something similar come out of El Dorado County in California. Found by a member of this forum.

I have (original owner) a 2005 Yamaha Rhino with around 500 miles/86 hours on it. Great shape with a bunch of extras. Been planning to list it for sale for $6k. A few of the extras are axle guards, back seat, roof, half windshield, digital meter kit, multi mount winch kit with Warn winch, front hitch, overfenders, center console, a second (new) set of wheels and tires, and seat covers. Have a trailer to sell with it if needed also.

A happy ending...one way or another!

You could always sell just the pick head if the handle is a standard home depot item and doesn't require a lot of work to fit and attach. Maybe the manufacturer would discount the cost if selling only the head?

I am not a dealer and have nothing to gain. My 10 year old son has found quite a few pieces as small as the gold in the picture of the original post. Not on bedrock or even near bedrock and not in a concentrated area, but in hot ground in a California hydraulic mining pit. Last trip he found 5 or so pieces in less than two hours.

Get a sheet of aluminum at home depot and take to an hvac contractor. They can cut it in their shear and put it in their break to bend it. A lot of them might even have a piece of scrap aluminum.

Not all attorneys are bad. I know several prosecutors that are DA's or work in the AG's Office in California that are honest, very honest. And humble. At least one had been offered a very high paying job with a private firm and declined because he coudn't defend somebody who is "guilty".

Sweet find!!! They are rarely seen on the roads anymore. I remember how many were out there back in the 70's, 80's, and 90's.

I took the tour a couple years ago. It was amazing to see how big everything actually is and how it all worked. It's well worth the visit if anywhere nearby.

Nice surprise!

That's a great find! El Dorado had some material similar to that which he cabbed and made some jewelry. It was quartz gold and the same clear quartz. Congrats to your son for his find!

Happy Birthday!

Hey Rick, can I come and join the fun? Just kidding. Looks like you have a great weekend planned. Hope you can get them hooked into a great hobby.

I thought you were going to say it was a chupacabra because of the dog type appearance.
