Born 65 years too late..

Bob,

I've dreamed of this stuff since I can remember. The closest I have ever come to it, was the discovery of an old trapper's cabin in Central Oregon while Deer hunting.

I found several bottles dating from the 1800's, and my brother(the bum) found a $5 gold piece nailed above the inside of the door with a square nail though the center of it. Evidently the trapper's emergency funds?

I returned several years later with a metal detector, but the entire area had been logged and the cabin was gone.
