The Man Who Found Gold in a Volcano
https://img.youtube.com/vi/yn7oi9hQPIQ/0.jpg
An ancient volcano was hiding a $440 million secret.
Thousands searched its slopes. But only one man understood the clues.
After 17 years of failure, Winfield Scott Stratton discovered what the strange purple and yellow stains in Cripple Creek’s volcanic rock really meant.
They led him to gold so fine nobody else could see it—and the Independence Mine, one of Colorado’s greatest fortunes.
Was it luck? Or had Stratton cracked a secret written into the volcano itself?
