HI GUYS, HERE IS THE LATEST ON THE RIVIERA EXCAVATION & CHIP DIG .... THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE EXCAVATION COMPANY VISITED ME IN MY STORE DOWNTOWN. APPARENTLY HE CAUGHT HIS CONSTRUCTION WORKERS TAKING HOME DIG CHIPS. HE KNEW I HAD PURCHASED 6 CHIPS FROM HIS WORKERS AND ASKED TO BUY THEM BACK. HE SAID THAT THEY WERE HIS PROPERTY AND THEY WERE STOLEN ETC. I SAID I UNDERSTAND AND RETURNED THEM TO HIM. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF CONVERSATION ... HE SHOWED ME SOME GREAT PHOTOGRAPHS OF SOME VERY EARLY RIVIERA CHIPS ALL CLUSTERED TOGETHER IN WATERMELON SIZED CONCRETE ROCKS. SUPER COOL STUFF. HE SAID WHEN HE IS DONE WITH THE PROJECT HE WOULD CALL ME TO BUY SOME OF THE TREASURES! HIS WORKERS ADMITTED IN SELLING CHIPS TO SOMEONE ELSE AND HE DID SEE THE EBAY LISTINGS ... THAT REALLY OPENED HIS EYES AND NOW HE THINKS HE HAS GOLD! ANYWAY MORE NEWS TO FOLLOW ... THANKS RICH BURGEL
