But not so fast. When local state and federal gubmint is finished it'll be a 2 pound nugget.

The above before and after photos will do.

The story continues three months later:

Terry Mohr: "Well, when I started to file the paper work with the government agencies I had a NINE pound nugget of gold." (see first picture of 9 lb. nugget)

"Then as the process went on, THIS is all the government left me with!!! (see second photo of him holding the 2 oz. nugget.)

Something does not pass the smell test here. Could Jim Sanders be a huckster wanting to get investors and then leaving them high and dry?

The notion of a find that large is the quintessential “American dream.” OTOH, as you say, the government and enviro-weenies will turn his dream a nightmare. Not to mention the money necessary to scale the permit hurdles.

When Obama is done with this, the guy will be in debt way past his nuggets.
