[QUOTE="Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2668063, member: 71510"]I wasn't born in Nevada, but my heart has never left. My grandfather used to farm ice out of the Truckee river before and after WW1, and the Comstock has always held a home for me. He eventually managed payroll which actually came on Wells Fargo coaches or by train. He handled real coin and cash for payments - and had to rely on "old west" style protection on more than one occasion. Remember all that you may be throwing away to find the gold - may just be the silver lining. From a bar in Virginia City that was around even before my grandfather - the Silver Kings.
