Eureka! Gold GOLD

I'd make really good apple pies for the miners...and sell them for like 1,000 bucks a pop.

Heh, that's like how Levi Strauss became rich: Selling denim jeans to the miners in the 1849 California Gold Rush.

Good post, Speedo. I think the guys name who found the gold at Sutters Mill was named Marshall but he is just a footnote. I was about to post just that.

Anyone heard the name Guggenheim like the Guggenheim Museum in New York? that family made its fortune smelting ore in Colorado, Leadville in particular to become one of the largest philanthropic families ever.

Miners go broke. Supplying miners is the way to riches.

Paint Your Wagon, 1969, it's a musical with Lee Marvin, well worth watching.

Thank you love-it , i knew someone would remember.

Yup, test positive for GOLD. I will be panning for my fortune now.

Lucky you! Hang on to it. Gold should have a big run up in the not too distant future. Doug Casey is thinking $2-5,000 an oz. Every time the Fed pumps more cheap dollars into the economy, the value of gold technically rises though the market doesn't always reflect it due to outside pressures. It's completely fucked-up market but just hang on to what you find until you see lines of people looking to trade their gold like they did back in the 80s. Then sell it all.

Can I sell you some pans?

I'll go only if I can do the whole "whores and whiskey" thing.
