goldbrick Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 We knew it was going to rain like a cow peeing on a flat rock so what to do? My brother-in-law Bryan and myself are vacationing in Northern California. With a deluge forecast for yesterday, there would be no forays with a detector so we loaded up in the truck and headed to Old Sacramento. The railroad museum there is one of the largest in North America. Go early because you can spend a whole day in there easy. The massive amount of railroad iron there will delight any man with even a passing interest in the Iron Horse. We eventually got too hungry so we ducked around the corner to an old saloon from 1877. It has good sandwiches, great beer, and a hot Latina barmaid wearing fish net stockings! After sating your raging desire for comestibles, liquid refreshment, and eye candy go back around the corner to the state history museum. (editor - emphasis added) Upstairs they have a decent gold display. Some wonderful specimens of the yellow metal there. What's not to like? Just saying if you are in the area you won't regret going.......... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relichunter Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Great museum, been there and I would also recommend a visit. I was amazed at the amount of engines in that building. Worth a visit, the State Capital is a must...take a tour and learn how out government is supposed to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klunker Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Sounds like a waste of a good fish net. Glad you had fun anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relichunter Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Chris, I was their with the boy and girl scouts, it was our trip to the museum, I did not see the gold display, wish I knew about it. But now I am well aware that their is a fish net wearing bars maid and saloon, I can kill two birds with one visit. Sacramento is a pretty cool place, and many things to see including the Fort??? dang whats it's name? Escapes my mind right now, next to it is the Native American Museum worth seeing both...

goldbrick Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Ray, can't remember the name of the saloon but I do remember they will sell you a shot of red eye for $2 if you buy a beer Chris, heck yes we looked at, ogled, peered, and fantasized about that gold. Rick, we will be going soon. I had some coin and relic hunting to do that has been on my mind. It is not on my mind anymore as the place gave me a whoopin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LipCa Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Last time I was in Old Town, there were so many "street bums" begging that it was not enjoyable. They were in front of almost every store. How were they this time of the year? There is some interesting history there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldbrick Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Not one bum in evidence. They must have gave them the "bum's rush" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
