          Dick, the way you phrased it, it sounds like a surprise and they did not know it was there?

              They were somewhat unsure if they could/would retrieve the rest of the cars.

                  Looks like the Spyder and the 1.5 Million. They thought they had the 1.5 Million on Friday and drove a stake in the ground where it was and it turned out they had two.

                      Looks like they are getting ready to pull the Spyder out:

                              Looks like they pulled all the 'glass off the front. I bet the front fiberglass is still in the dirt.

                                  Looks like they have the 1.5 million out of the dirt, and left it in the hole for the night.

                                  One to go.

                                          Nothing much left to the Spyder. Totally trashed. Makes you wonder if a car like that is worth restoring/rebuilding.

                                                      This is number 6 I believe.

                                                      Looks like they have located number 7. They are digging in one small area with the small bucket and two men on thethers digging with shovels.
