Hoser John Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Holy guacamole man I almost cried--everything gold to know and I WANT more---I Need more all the time-thanx. Had to laugh at 1979 as gold at about $180 and the hospital in Reno Washoe Med took gold to let me finish paying off my last sons birth there. Almost 30 ounces in them days--now,even with drop,less than 5 oz John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mn90403 Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 I was watching the Diggers last night and one of their graphics said:According to some, there's enough gold in the Earth's crust to cover the entire land surface knee-deep.According to who? haha So, here I go looking for the SOURCE ...http://www.ecrresearch.com/fun-facts-about-goldThis comes up on a Google as a 'source' but in fact they are just using a quote from some other source.Now, here is the real source of the quote:There's enough gold buried deep within the Earth's core to cover the entire land surface of the planet to a depth of half a metre, an Australian researcher says.Professor Bernard Wood, a geologist from Macquarie University, in Sydney made his remarkable calculations based on research published in today's issue of the journal Nature.http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2006/06/15/1663566.htmI have sourced the quote but was Professor Wood correct? His findings were published in 2006. I think more will be revealed so remain skeptical of quotes.Mitchel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mn90403 Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hoser John,I met The Diggers in Santa Barbara earlier this year. In person they are not like they are for the camera. They are just a couple of Montana boys who got a break by sending in a video. They have regular jobs that they are taking a break from and they think they are 'living a dream' where they can get paid to hunt. Now they did have to do something different to keep the gig so they show some 'personality!'They had a question and answer session and I asked them about the 'language' and the antics and while they are genuine they do know how to turn if off and turn it on. I told them as a watcher I often times 'cringe' at some of the things they say but ... they are going to have one more season.Bottom line is that I liked them more after I met them than before.Mitchel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
