Story

|
|
Among his many achievements, my father was an old goldminer, who - with me and my four sisters in tow - worked a claim in the foothills of Alaska's Mt. McKinley. He would record the dates of three coins on a scrap of paper, put it in his wallet and toss the coins down the hill we planned to mine – it was his quality control check to ensure the very best results. If those three coins weren't at the bottom of the sluice box at clean up, that meant the water pressure had been too high and the coins had been washed into the tailing pile … along with some gold. Finding those three coins at the end of the season – in the bottom of the sluice box, and not in the tailing pile – was as rewarding for us as finding any gold nugget ever was. |
