In 1980 I was a delegate to the National Education Association. I decided to drive to California. I took my Mother and Sister with me and we had a great trip. We started in Ames; drove to San Francisco and then to Los Angeles and came back through Phoenix and back to Colorado and then home.
We stopped for breakfast in Winnemucca, NV and I decided that I would hit the slot machine. So I was going to lose $5 (just to do it). So I started with the nickel slot and kept getting a little pot and finally had 3 dollar coins and all of a sudden JACKPOT
The coins just coming out and when they were done the lady who was the cashier said...."just wait" . She filled the machine and it started in giving me more money. I got three big cups of money. Mom was paying for breakfast (the only time she paid) and I told her that I had just gotten a JACKPOT. She she we should get out of town.
So we did. Threw the money in the trunk and off we went...over $200.
I kept the money until we started to home and we stopped at Albuquerque. I knew what I wanted. Here it is!
The stones are from the Kingman mine.
It is marked Sterling and WNez is the artist's name.
It has gone through two or three watches.
I would say that is the best $5 I have ever spent.
