Goldfinger Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Hey guys-Tomorrow night there's a piece on 60 Minutes about the guy that found all those rough emeralds off the coast of Florida. I read something about this awhile back. Should be pretty interesting given the usual topics. Thought I would give a heads up.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope he lives long enough to enjoy the fruits of his labor...Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
