Synopsis
In the late 1940s and early 1950s, the great rush was on to find the mother lode. Was it gold? The federal government offered a bonus reward of $10,000 for anyone finding ten tons of ore containing 10% uranium oxide or U308. The quest for uranium deposits expanded into many areas of the western United States. Weekend prospectors using their Geiger Muller counters were seen in almost any geologic environment. One prospector, Neil E. McNeice, spotted a rusty colored hill and decided to check it with his "counter" for any radiation. After changing the batteries in his counter because it showed radiation on the entire hillside, McNeice and the Lucky MC became a part of history.
