A few nice photos: members.tripod.com It's too bad DougAK and others have no appreciation of gold nuggets, beautiful gold coins, or other things that make gold valuable and give us a reason to "gold price monitor" Otherwise, why would any of us bother talking about it ? Even mining history is important, because it shows the stupid things people do in their quest for gold. The 4+ billion ounces of gold currently available above ground did not magically appear, although almost 2 billion ounces has been produced since 1970 due to the magic of heap leaching. Think about it - almost 50% of all gold EVER produced was produced in the last 30 years - WOW ! The best year (1852) of the California Gold Rush produced ONLY 3,932,631 ounces, which is about 2 weeks of current world gold production.
