There will be localized poor drainage area flooding, downed tree limbs and coastal flooding at times of high tide. Rainfall is forecast to become more sporadic and taper off farther south over the mid-Atlantic, but gusty winds from the northwest will occur. Downpours will drench part of South Florida due to a distant tropical system and a stalled front nearby. A narrow swath of clouds and showers will stretch from northern Texas to the Upper Midwest.

For Van Camp, at least, this one dream is 5.18 stan- dard pounds of shimmer- ing, nearly pure, Califor- nia gold. Van Camp did not find the nugget, but within two hours of its discovery in July he was holding it in his hand. The name of the finder is being kept secret, and the location of its discovery is being kept vague, just that it was found in the foothills in Butte County on public land in an area that was "worked" during the origi- nal Gold Rush. Van Camp said the finder, who he calls Mr. Smith," would not even tell him precisely where he found the nugget, which is about the size and shape on a adult's hand and about an inch thick. Van Camp earns his liv- ing working for a major rice grower, but he is known by gold prospectors because he runs a metal detector deal- ership. In the prospecting community he is known as "Digger Bob." He is quick to point out that neither he nor Mr. Smith has the nugget in their possession. Digger Bob says the specimen, which he and Smith have been call- ing the "Butte Nugget," has been placed with Kagin's, a numismatic firm and auc- tion house in Tiburon. "If you have larceny in your heart, you are out of luck," he said. Kagin's will have a na- tionwide unveiling of the Butte Nugget at the end of this month. In a brief video he pro- duced (http://goo.gl/ ppYUL7), Van Camp, hold- ing the nugget in his hand, says the "pre-sale estimates put this as going for between $250,000 and $400,000. "You're looking at a quar- ter of a million dollars in gold that I am holding in my hand right now. Now that is retirement for sure," he says. Gold is measured in troy ounces, which are slightly heavier than standard ounces. The official weight of the Butte Nugget is 75 troy ounces. Van Camp said Mr. Smith had been using a metal de- tector to search on the day he discovered the monster, and had found a few small nuggets. Then his detec- tor came back with an ex- tremely strong signal. Mr. Smith told him his first thought was that there was "a big piece of trash" in the ground, possibly a piece of pipe or a horse- shoe. He was fearful that trash would mask the sig- nal of surrounding nuggets, so he decided to dig it out. About 12 inches down in the soil, he found the nug- get. Van Camp says the Butte Nugget is the second larg- est extant placer gold nug- get in California. The big- gest nugget is the 100 troy ounce "Mojave Nugget." Both of these nuggets amount to little more than pebbles compared to gigan- tic 54-pound Dogtown Nug- get that was discovered in 1859 on the slopes of Saw- mill Peak. Van Camp said the Dog- town Nugget isn't on the list of current monsters be- cause it was melted down and no longer exists in its original form. He said the July discov- ery proves that life-chang- ing gold is still out there to be found and he urged peo- ple to continue to hold onto the dream. "Follow the three Ps: per- sistence, patience and per- severance. Keep at it. Keep the dream alive." GOLD!
