Sahara: LV, Tahoe, and some Reno BudJones metal center chips were buried in N. Nevada. Dug up later during construction. Many drums of chips were found. The $25 Reno chip doesn't seem to have been found. There were a few H&C chips included in the burial. All the chips I know of were buried in metal drums, not directly dumped into wet concrete.
Dunes: Early chips buried during various Dunes construction projects. Later found when the Dunes was demolished. Most chips are in varying stages of disintegration. Lots of these were the "marquee" design. Howdy documented this as "the dig". Many instances of chunks of concrete being found with "nuggets" of chips still in them.
Four Queens: I don't remember details but something was posted on this bb a few years ago about early chips found in the basement during construction. Think GeneT knows about it. He may have buried them [g].
Who else has instances like this to post?
