Hi all,
I read a bad news story in today's Cairns Post letters to the editor section.

The story is of how on 5 Jul 2013 some mongrel gutted so and so decided to steal some a small gold bar, some nuggets and fines, as well as some coins from Cate and Andy who run the Mine.

I have visited this site a couple of times and have never met a nicer couple of down to earth, honest people.

The coins had significant sentimental value to their son who received them from their aunt last year.

It is a shame that someone would walk into their house and steal the precious memories of these people for some quick way to make some cash or to brag about gold they "found" at Tyrconnell.

If you any of you hear or see any one trying to palm off some gold from that area in the near future please be aware it may be stolen.
