“The captain eventually beat all odds and displayed the Ontonagon Boulder in Detroit for 10¢ a peek.”
Took the family on a little tourist attraction into an old gold mine in Idaho. Ride the little ore cart in, watch a demonstration of the drilling to place the explosives, etc.
The tour guide said the mine made more money as a tourist attraction than it ever did as a gold mine!
