The hinge of history swings in all directions
As the happenings of the past are written down.
Out of all that has occurred since man's beginnings,
Less has been recorded than waits to be found.

Sounds like a "brave and galant outlaw" to me!

I feel for the bloke, based on what was presented here of course.

Son and I were recently out metal detecting on the ranch. He found a 1907 2.50 dollar gold piece and i scored a 10.00 dollar gold piece. Thought it was cool that a father and son would both strike gold on the same day using our Whites DFX detectors.
