So Jeff & Josh head out for Yreka (pronounced 'why-reka')CA on their way to Ashland OR. Here they stop at a small town court house, with the usual suspects just outside of any courthouse. 5 feet from the front door and through a standard checkpoint is around 3 million dollars of gold and gold nuggets- called "The Million Dollar Display" in the 90's - it has since tripled its value. All in a glass case about 10 ft wide. Amazing and it all came from this county. Actually over 300 million dollars (by todays standard) have come from this one county, including digs today.
