In this sand he discovered a number of yellow particles ranging in size from grains as big as a pin head to others as large as a pea. He thought the metal he found was brass, but an assay of a teaspoon of the same material found it to be to be gold. A group in Milwaukee is in the process of setting up a company to develop the discovery." (Note: After further work over the next six months, the "discovery" turned out to be nothing of value.)
