But the gold – some of it still radioactive – was tossed into a smelter and molded into shiny ingots.

Man, I'm glad I don't where any of my finds. But I've given away 4 or 5 pieces. I'm glad they where only finger rings. Just think what would happend if someone wore a radioactive neck chain.

Thanks for posting that and HH.

I love the bluntness of the last lin 'or are dead'!
Gee I wonder why. They made rings in 30's and 40's with radioactive gold-if age didn't get em cancer would have!

Thanks for the info Jeff!

Have fun,
Salvager

P.S. Lucky it was then not now-with all the 'body jewlery' now I'd hate to see what people would have to get loped off! :P

Now you know what people mean when they say that some Gold puts a Ring around their Fingers/Necks!

I guess nothings safe! Joe
