Rumours of buried gold send M'sian beachcombers hunting
KUALA LUMPUR - RUMOURS that chunks of gold are buried beneath a Malaysian beach have sent scores of villagers digging through the sand in hopes of striking it rich, police said on Thursday.
Prospectors have flocked to a beach in the Mersing district of southern Johor state since residents reported finding gold deposits there last week, district police chief Harun Idris said.
'A big crowd is going there,' Mr Harun said. 'People are really excited.'
Natural gold deposits have been found in Mersing in recent years, Mr Harun said.
Some prospectors, including housewives and children, were combing the beach with flashlights at night, said another police officer, who declined to be identified, citing protocol.
He warned that people were exaggerating the size and value of gold discoveries. He said those who were lucky might find gold worth RM80 (S$34).
'It's gold dust actually,' the officer said. 'It's not economically worthwhile.' -- AP http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest%2...ry_179384.html  To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

I would suggest that they watch the movie "National Treasures" to give them a head start. | |

While 34 dollars are still good money but can it replace a good full time job? Over hyped and etc. can easily lead to social problems if they are not careful.

I think most of the people will engaged in such activities and lost interest in their jobs. 
Those who are skilled in combat do not become angered, those who are skilled at winning do not become afraid.

ADDICTED TO DIGGING FOR GOLD http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/news/st...49607,00.html? | Quote: | | | | | ADDICTED TO DIGGING FOR GOLD M'sian made $1,500 since he found gold a fortnight ago on Mersing beach
December 04, 2007
IN two weeks, this gold-digger said he has earned more than what he made in a month as a fisherman some 30 years ago.  Mr Ramli Harun has become so addicted to mining for gold that he has roped in his three sons. -- Pictures: NEW STRAITS TIMES
Mr Ramli Harun, 51, said he has made about RM3,600 ($1,500) since he struck gold a fortnight ago on the shores of a Mersing beach, reported Metro Ahad.
And now he has become so addicted to mining for gold that he has roped in his three sons.
Better known as Pak Ngah, he is believed to be the first man to discover the gold at those shores. DIGS THROUGH THE NIGHT
He claimed that he had dreamt about the location two weeks ago.
In his dream, three princesses were on their way with the gold from Tanjung Tenggaroh to Gunung Arong but while on their way in a lorry, their things fell.
So the next afternoon, he scooped up some mud and sand, and started sieving for gold.
Slowly, he started seeing grains of gold. He continued digging and sieved through the night using his torchlight which he held between his chest and his chin.  One of his sons.
In four days, he reaped in thousands of ringgit worth of gold.
His 12-year-old son, who has also become addicted to hunting for gold, was then spotted by the villagers in the daytime and that was when news of this gold mine spread.
Said Mr Ramli: 'I will continue digging for the gold because it has now become a way for me to earn money and save for the future.'
Ever since news of his gold find was reported, many here come from as far as Sarawak to try their luck. An estimated 500 people were camping out and digging for gold at the beach near Sri Pantai and at Teluk Klang - the latest area found to have gold.
In a report last Thursday, Harian Minggu reported that groups of people had started going to a second site, about 1.5km away, despite its rocky and muddy condition.
They claimed to have found a bigger amount of gold - the size of a corn seed or a matchstick head - compared to the first location, where it was mostly found in grains. | | | | |
