Call Paul Combretta. He had a gold mine too. He got help over at the board on Reddit, IIRC.
there’s no such thing as an undisclosed location. You need to report where you found the gold, and, if it turns out you found it on a registered claim, it ain’t yer gold sunny
Watch “The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre” with Humphrey Bogart and Walter Huston for how NOT to get the gold you prospect, to market.
Fun Thread!
This thread reminds me of a typical old western movie plot. The old timer comes to town bragging he struck it rich. Goes to the saloon, hauls out huge nuggets and buys rounds for the house. In the next scene robbers figured out where the mine is and killed him.
In today’s world, the gov will figure it out and steal it from you.
I am taking your question literally:
1. You would have to get your gold smelted—melted down and cleaned of impurities. You can do this, but it takes some research and knowledge of the process.
2. Then you would need to get it assayed. This means getting the purity of the gold measured and certified so that you can take it somewhere and sell it. This might be an issue if you are not in an area where there is mining going on.
3. Once it is assayed you should be able to take the “bar” to just about any gold dealer with the documentation and negotiate a price. You will probably NOT get spot for it. Estimate your value at about 85% of spot.
4. Sell your gold. Get cash if you can.
You probably wouldn’t want to do a ton at a time. This might send up some red flags.
I guess it depends on what he needs the money for.
Classic.
“it was asked how Green Lantern would get money.”
I’ve actually never seen it. I just knew that line originated there. I’ll have to try and catch it.
These movies are so good that they can be watched again and again and still enjoy them each time. They are timeless.
I haven’t caught those either.
I did, however, catch “The African Queen” many decades ago. Pretty good.
Interesting that the captain of the ship winds up as the Russian ambassador in “Dr. Strangelove”.
And “The Caine Mutiny”. I caught that one. Awesome.
