Are you all aware that we can now make gold out of lead, as the alchemits struggled for centuries to do? Takes a nuclear reaction, tho, and thus far has not been cost-effective.

i recently bought a great deal of WW1 ammo (not for ammo purposes). I surprised at how good of condition it was in. Corrosive primers but it shot just fine.

In short order, I think there will be countries who revert to the gold standard to escape the horror and anxiety of a floating currency. there will be a return to the tried and true historical basis for wealth.
Will America join the club? Don’t know. It will take years to make the decision.

Well, that’s interesting. Still, the powder would be undergoing chemical reaction even at a low rate. How many didn’t go off, or were squid rounds? Anyway that’s off-topic!

The “value” of gold is and always has been a constant!
How’s that statement teach ?
To: bert
Personally, I don’t think so. Mostly because it’s such a specious way for wealth creation - instead of creating products with ideas, or farming the land, you can go dig it out of the ground and your wealth grows. Sure we do it now, but the gold is counting in terms of dollars.

All we tried (about 400) went off. The rest went for scrap at a handsome profit.

Go without grub for five days or so, and you’d eat a bug.

Proper cleaning negates the primer issue. I have 45 acp and 9mm from just about every era including modern manufacture. I don’t own modern round hand weapons like 10mm or 40cal, sources too limited. I reload, 357 mag and 44 mag and all my 12 gauge shotgun and my centerfire rifle rounds, for 30-06 and 270. I have more 22 LR rimfire than I have space. All told I do not own a gun without at least 1000 rounds. Most are more like 2000 and the 22 LR is like 5000+.

How much gold is in Fort Knox and who owns it? Enough and TOTUS plans to own it all as soon as the coup is complete and he is ruler of the world.

LOL....too deep for me! I think he means it is not subject to value loss like paper currencies are.

Agree on the corrosion aspect. In my business of importing & distributing very high-end audio components, high purity silver connectors and silver wire is always used for the highest quality of sound due to silver having the highest conductivity of all metals.
Copper is second best in conductivity. Gold, with its' even lower conductivity, has a less transparent sound with poorer resolution of low level details compared to silver products.

I have heard that all of the gold in California is in the middle of a bank in Beverly Hills.
