California's last working gold dredge sank.

Odd. I didn't even know that any of those things were still in use. This is sort of like finding out that the carriage factory has burned. I knew that there were still a few placer miners about, most of them week-end hobbyists, gleaning a bit of gold from the streams, but I thought the last dredges had been retired ages ago. Very odd.

It's a huge college prank. It'll turn up on top of the roof of the company who lost it soon, wearing a big hat saying "suprise" and with a new coat of paint.

It may seem strange, but trust me...

Hmm. Sounds as though you know something.

Ah HA! So that's what you were up to in Sacramento!
