A homeowner digging for gold in his front yard said he got "carried away" and ended up with a 60-foot-deep hole.
Henry Mora, 63, began digging two weeks ago after his gold detector picked up a signal near his front patio.
"I figured, well, maybe there's something down there - you would logically conclude, right? So I started digging," the semiretired musician said.
Mora said he only intended to go down 3 or 4 feet, but he started finding gold dust in the dirt and the detector kept hinting that he was getting closer.
Authorities fenced off Mora's property and ordered him to hire an engineer to safely pack the dirt back into the ground.
