Retired dentist A.G. Tibbetts is the victim of the old "gold brick" fraud. Helen Ardelle and Percy Flumerfelt were charged with defrauding Tibbetts out of $2,000 to dig up a cache of gold in Mexico.

The brick, allegedly part of the Mexican gold and worth $7,000, was mostly copper and lead, with a value of 70 cents.
