You should have seen the hillbilly looking barge that showed up here last month. It was piled so high with everything imagineable. I ended up talking to the person who owned it all. He gave up his commerical quotas, boat, everything in SE to go dredge gold up north. Seemed to believe in his new adventure to dive yep dive for gold. Be interesting to hear how he does. It definetly was a risky move. Heard they made it to the location. At least they were Alaskans with some knowledge.
