18-metre-hole-lawn-searching.html

MONTCLAIR, California -- A homeowner searching for gold admitted he
got a bit "carried away" after neighbors complained about an 18-metre-
deep hole in his front lawn.

Henry Mora, 63, began digging 10 days ago after his gold detector
reported a positive hit near his front patio. He told authorities he
only intended to go down about a metre.

"I figured, well, maybe there's something down there -- you would
logically conclude, right? So I started digging," the semi-retired
musician said.

He started finding gold dust in the dirt and the detector kept
hinting that he was getting closer, so he kept digging.

"It was still beeping, and that just gave me the idea to keep
digging," he said. "I think it's a normal human reaction, especially
when you think there might be gold down there."

A neighbor who saw the mound of dirt growing on Mora's lawn became
concerned and called authorities Tuesday. Fire officials found two
men Mora hired were inside the unreinforced hole, using a bucket and
rope to remove dirt.

"We told him, 'You're done,'" Montclair fire Capt. Rich Baldwin
said. "It's amazing no one got killed."

Authorities fenced off Mora's property and ordered him to hire an
engineer to safely pack the dirt back into the ground.

Mora acknowledged his search for buried treasure was getting "totally
out of hand."

Yet when asked whether he regrets the dig, Mora was conflicted.

"In a way yes, and in a way no," Mora said, "because I think there's
still gold down there."
