Gold...??? The short answer to the gold question for me is: NO However, that property was originally a mining claim in the 1800's. I only own 1/2 the mineral rights but no of absolutely NO ONE who would make a claim to the other half if I found any. If there is any gold on the property it would most likely be in the stream... and there is about 550 ft of stream running through our parcel. I am considering it. At this time I am inclined to invest cash into things such as: chicken coops pig pen sheep greenhouse alternative energy etc.... I could be wrong, but I think it would be easier to exchange a lamb or chickens for a tank of gas than it would to try and make the exchange with a gold coin. For barter -- I think silver would be much more practical. If all you're concerned about is hedging against collapse of the dollar gold is probably a good choice.
