Found Gold Today.

[GrayCloud]

Anyone else have this problem?
While looking for a truck title today, my wife found two small viles of gold that we had completly forgot about. Just like new gold to us now.

Yes, I have.... but not 2 vials full! Once, Judy threw out a paper plate that I was drying some gold on. Her son closed up an electronic scale of mine, losing the gold that was lying on the top cover plate (most was later found among the foam holding the scale). And most recently, Judy's grandaughter found and returned a larger picker she found on the table. So, adding the bunch.... probably lost less than a gram plus the 1/4 ouncer. TTC

Nope... ya have to find it the first time ... and THAT'S where I run into problems.

When I first got into gold, the got who got me bit showed me a little picker(5 I'd 6 grain) he found In his cons, I picked it up with some tweezers, squeezed too hard, and it shot across his garage into the corner! Needless, not allowed to handle his small gold any more... Does that count?

After 8 days of sluicing, put a 1/2 ounce in jeans pocket to sell in Grass Valley, ca. Got up to the truck (1,000 ft hike) found a hole in pocket. There's a 1/2
ounce gold vial laying out there to this day!!

... I've done the tweezer shot . Only had to do it once though .

This thread is nothing but great advice for us who have yet to lose, misplace, drop, or tweezer shoot our hard earned precious metal from grasp. I've actually had a dream (nightmare) about sneezing over my scale only to watch the sparkles dust all over the kitchen.... LOL.....Think about it.... could happen!!!

[GrayCloud]

Just to set the record straight, neither vile was completely full. One had fines and the other a few pickers. I think just about all of us have experance the tweezer shot across the table and on the floor or ground. Not a good feeling in the belly.

For many,many years my grandma would take my big gold for safe keeping cause she was just sure I would sell and spend it(she came from a long line of miners)well when she died the box I thought all that gold was in was empty!!!Still have not found it....probably 30 + ounces worth of big gold!

[the bone]

Sounds like dear old granny was quite the con woman

I have had the pleasure of meeting Kuger (Cody). Kuger and "Liar's Club" do not belong in the same post! GO CODY, MY FRIEND! (I'll be picking up the sand soon) TTC

[kuger]

LOL!I wish I was lyin....trust me,I wish it was all a bad dream,but its been two years and its not shown.She just took "safe keeping",to a whole new level!
Terry,thanks my friend

[Fullpan]

Hope you know i was joking! I feel your pain.

[GrayCloud]

Dang Kuger, You are the man,,,!!!
Grandma, without a doubt hid that gold for safe keeping or had a safe deposit box.

[kuger]

Hope you know i was joking! I feel your pain.

Yea,Gray,we checked all of the local banks for that reason,never heard her speak of one or found a key?She never showed up with a new Caddy or anything either so I keep the hope alive t will surface again someday?

Might be time to fire up the dectector and do a perimter search. I had a friend who's grandmother passed and while going through some things, my friend felt compelled to search through some books. First book yielded four one hundred dollar bills. By the time he went through all the books he was several thousand ahead. You might want to see if it may have been hidden in some personal effects. Best of luck on your search
