We have now.

That's amazing and a confirmation that there's still gold in them hills! I have good friends who live in Prescott, seems like a good time to pay them a visit.

Terry, I'm going to let my friend (who owns the claim where it was found), crow a little bit if he wants to first. There is a story that goes with the find. I am proud to say I referred the gentleman that found it, and I could not be happier for all involved!

 

[TerryC]

That is OUTstanding, Terry. YOU have the honors of nominating for Banner Find. Go for it, friend. TTC

Heck I wouldn't tell anyone....why the need to divulge? With the current price of gold it's like asking for problems....shhhhhh!

 

[MrLee]

Very nice!

 

[TerryC]

Yes, do tell. There is room here for all LIGITIMATE prospectors. The info is a good BOOST to area businesses. It was gold that started this area and it is gold that keeps it going. TTC

I live in the Rich Hill area. Lately nice nuggets are surfacing around here. Maybe another goldrush starting. I'll have to dust off the hotdog cart..."peanuts, popcorn, candy coated snacks..."

GG, Checked out the article a little more. There is a Coplen living in Arivaca, AZ. Might be the finder. Still alive. Data says he is 99 but 42 (in article) and 45 years ago would make him 87. .TTC
