General Note
Accompanying note: "HE DUG UP GOLD BRICK - George Kornegay was building this fence when he dug up an object that turned out [to be] a gold brick. [With him are Jeanette, four, and Rickey, five]."
"At $32 an ounce, the brick, if it is solid gold would be worth $2,784."
A jeweler "suggested to Kornegay that he investigate the object's value as an historical artifact before disposing of it as gold."
