You think he would have told them? I wouldn't. I'd rather look like an idiot and keep the gold or whatever I found for myself.

Hmmm maybe Aliens are sending him a subliminal message to go to a similar hole in the ground somewhere on the planet where he'll meet up with other fined/arrested/escaped hole diggers who got the same message, and the Aliens will play them nursery tones from the speakers on their space ship










Sorry...its Friday LOL

Things sure have changed in California

Geez, a hundred and fifty years ago everybody in California was diggin' for gold. Now they're bustin' this guy's chops for it. Sheesh!

Where was all the dirt going? In his front yard? I'd just love to live next to someone like that. My property value would drop faster then a person failing down said hole.

I am sure they stopped him on the bases of needed a permint to create such a hole. Plus its extremly un safe if not properly supported.

Something is very fishy about this story.

60 feet? 60? How do you get in and out of a 60' deep hole?

What type of soil can you be digging through that won't collapse?

How big of a diameter are we talking here, Falling down a well wide, or open pit mining wide?

I gotta call bull$hit on this one. The logistics of digging a six story hole are too great for one guy and any two idiots who would agree to work under these circumstances.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Did he have mineral rights? Maybe they could have shut him down for that reason. Imagine a gas drilling rig in a residential neighbourhood. My land I'll do what I damn well please.
