Oh what a job!

Well it seems like you find gold, and its not part of the job you're doing!
A TBM is a tunnel boring machine.Its used to bore holes through mountains for traffic tunnels or water tunnels etc. the people who do
the operation of this get paid well and get incentives for how many
rings of cement collars the get put up and how fast they go forward.
The Arrowhead water tunnel was dug through the San bernardino mountains.A TBM is a vary technical machine and any number of things can cause it to stop! A large water deposit,a fault line,anything
so the less money they make and less forward they go.But the forman Jim Autry never had anything like this happen,the TBM just
stopped! Nothing on the computers indicated problems.Tom Turner
checked the Alger that removes the crushed rock from the face of the
TBM and moves it to the conveyor belt.What they found was weird and vary spookyBig chunks of gold and Quarts at section18300A
they(Tom Turner Jim Aurty and Danny Sayer)never spoke of this
for fear of there jobs and slowing down the job. they did take out
a vary vary high gold content of tailing's in some vary large lunch boxes! LOL And they don't drive old trucks to work anymore! they were at eight thousand sixty three feet down and its vary hot
at that depth!The TBM just started running after the Alger was cleared like it wanted someone to find the gold!

Stefen I think you have your tunnels mixed up!
The Arrow head tunnel was just finnished last year.
Glade you saw the show on the DiscoveryHD most people
missed it. Now [SWR] did you see in the show where the marked the
section 18300A with floresent red paint?I'm sure the didn't edit that out! Tom was Killed in an accident just after the show aired.
A great friend to all are family.

I've heard lots of storys like this and unless there's actual proof of what they found or saw , it kinda sounds like these guys made up a tale . Like when they built Hoover Dam the story goes they dynamited an area and exposed a huge gold deposit . The forman told his crew pay no attention cause the whole area would be filled and covered in cement with in hours . Ya Right ! Another story almost exactly like it was when they built a highway through the National Forest and the road builders cut in to a large gold deposit . Forman told them to pave right over it . I know all is possible in the real world but not likely in these cases . Kinda like a big fish story they tend to always get bigger than they are .
