DIGGER27
In Memory Of
"There comes a time in every rightly-constructed boy’s life when he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure.”
Mark Twain
Howard: "A thousand men, say, go searching for gold. After six months, one of them’s lucky: one out of a thousand. His find represents not only his own labour, but that of nine hundred and ninety-nine others to boot. That’s six thousand months, five hundred years, scrambling over a mountain, going hungry and thirsty. An ounce of gold, mister, is worth what it is because of the human labour that went into the finding and the getting of it."
Bum: "I never thought of it just like that."
Howard: "Well, there’s no other explanation, mister. Gold itself ain’t good for nothing except making jewellery with and gold teeth."
Walter Huston and Clifton Young in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Great exercise...and a little bit of excitement with every signal dug, a lot of excitement with every great signal you actually do dig.
Never had a more relaxing, exciting or rewarding hobby.
