I can't drive by a yard sale even if I'm late for work

Framed picture of story and .5 gram gold from the ship ss central america.
I asked how much and they said $5.00 no brainer SOLD.
very cool story if you follow the link and click on begin the journey
Ship of Gold
So gold is where you find it and geographically I did find it on an inside bend and sometimes gold
does travel very far.
cheers -- Mike

Retail seems to be/have been $149 for the slab. Can't find the whole framed price.
