Doug, you mis-read my post...i have NEVER claimed to pull gold from RAW ORE at $20 per oz. I pull gold from ABOVE GROUND discards' sources at $2.50 to $20 COST per troy oz.
ABOVE GROUND gold reclamation has 3 things going for it that raw gold ore does NOT: 1) the gold is already above ground, and big enough to see with the naked eye...millions and millions and millions of ounces of it 2) already above ground gold has been refined once already, so its purity is a known quantity. Customarily, a gold mining company is accustomed to waiting until after all the processing and refining processes and assays are completed before finding out how much gold and at what karat is left from below ground mining ops. 3) already above ground gold is so very very cheap due to its obscene abundance.
RE: the url: members.aol.com, that's me, pal, and my book was first published under a "nom d'plume <----pardon my lousy French spelling) Megan Moore, which is a pun. You've heard of writers doing their best work under pseudonyms haven't you...one that comes to mind is Samuel Clements = Mark Twain.
I get real, bite'em with your teeth, weigh them on goldscales gold from said reclamation, chunks of gold. Those are genuine gold buttons on the color banner on "goldsheet's" prospecting [subcategory] page from my operations. The stuff I'm capturing now by new processes is even purer than those early gold buttons I recovered. IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING HOW THIS ABOVE GROUND GOLD RECYCLING WORKS! AND IT IS EQUALLY AMAZING THE "HEALTHY" PROFIT MARGINS AVAILABLE IN RECOVERING ABOVE GROUND GOLD FOR $2.50 to $20 per oz and THEN SELLING IT FOR$280 per oz!.
They are just as real and spendable gold chunks as the placer gold chunks I find when I'm panning/dredging. Gold is gold is gold, regardless of shape or form.
One final comment: The only way you are going to get your hands on FABRICATED gold, i.e., gold coins, at the same "price" as poured, straight from the "factory/refiner" solid bars is this: you will have to go into the gold BUYING business and get someone who is desparate for green money to part with them below the intrinsic value of the gold in any given coin.
You see, Doug, et al...gold has a wholesale/retail pricing structure, super-imposed upon its intrinsic gold value, same as any other consumable product. And the more "fabrication" involved, the more the "premium" you will find over poured or over "raw."
So, buy it raw, or reclaim it cheap, or go into gold buying business... with a classified ad and a wad of green bills. Those are your gold acquisition choices...short of theft of course<grin> That is, unless mining is "your thang."
So you err, Doug when you claim or state that I'm selling plated gold to anyone...
that's some other schmuck's "fabricated gold" scheme.
I just remove it and remove lots of it and remove lots of it regularly and remove lots of it regularly for very VERY cheap costs: $2.50 to $20 per oz.
Quite a gig.
And there's plenty for you and anyone else who wants to...since there is in excess of 18,000,000 ounces discarded ABOVE ground every year, and I'm not talking about the lease/shell game played by the disgorging Central Bankers.
Good Luck as you continue to get your gold education any way you can. |
