The closest thing to a silver age was the Spanish conquest of what’s now Bolivia. The silver deposits there were being mined in Precolumbian times, but the Spanish efforts dwarfed it. It’s been estimated that 30-40 percent of all the silver ever mined came from there.

There’s never been a Gold Age, and never will be. :^)

That is amazing!

I was thinking of when gold and silver were first found and produced and thus made an economic and social impact on mankind.

While my post was lighthearted I did think that if anyone knew off the top of their head when that happened it would be you. :)

Actually, the Gold Age started a couple of weeks ago.
