Norm Enrique, 63, got a positive beep from his metal detector and he was damned excited.
Gold! In his front yard, right off the front porch. Who'd a thunk it?
So, Norm started digging.
And digging.
He eventually hired some people to help him dig, using a bucket and rope to remove dirt.
Norm says he got "carried away." Authorities agree.
Norm ended up with a 60-foot-deep hole.
"We told him, 'You're done,'" said Montclair Fire Capt. Rich Baldwin after fencing off the property. "It's amazing no one got killed."
Officials from the state Occupational Safety and Health Administration will determine how to shore up and fill the hole.
Enrique will be required to hire and pay for a licensed engineer.

Can't they just use all the dirt he removed? Or does he want to keep the 60 ft high mountain of muck ;)
