Message:: [QUOTE="Ron Ferguson, post: 109347, member: 3946"]GOLD distroyed a long time friendship of a trusted friend 20 years ago. I used to dredge for gold with my dad. We did it for fun and the hobby got us out of the house and into the great outdoors. We had a close friend that bugged both of us for years to tag along on one of our trips. It was a father - son thing but we finally included him. He was not wealthy but far from broke. During the next trip we found aprox $40.00 in gold at our favorite spot within the first 2 hours dredging. We kept the gold in small viles and would add to it every time we shut down the dredge. Yep you guessed it, the vile suddenly disapeared. Dad and I knew exactly what happened and our friend was never invited along on any future trips. A few weeks later we found out that he had been showing around a vile with gold in it from other friends. If he would have asked we would have given the gold to him as a souvenir of the trip, but he had to steal it. there by ending a long friendship.[/QUOTE]
