Whitehall, Montana consists of approximately 1,000 people and is nearly 70 miles south from the capital city of Helena. KTVM NBC Montana is reporting that at least two households in the Jefferson County town are finding gold flakes in their tap water, and that has them concerned.

Sharon Brown was washing dishes earlier this week when something caught her eye. Her husband, Mark Brown, told KTVM, "She had pulled the plug to let the water out and it was glistening, gleaming little flecks." Mr. Brown did not believe that it could possibly be gold, but after multiple tests were done, they found that it actually was the precious metal.

It’s nott all that expensive as far as I can recall. Wikipedia says that each bottle has about half a Euro worth of gold in it. So, no, that’s not a whole bunch of gold.

I’ve got a bottle of Grand Royale cinnamon schnapps with gold flakes, 107 proof, from Switzerland. Pretty good stuff.

“Can you ingest tiny gold flake safely?”

Of course you can... It doesn’t react with much, that’s the reason it’s in metallic form.

I find it curious that no one has mentioned the connection between gold appearing in groundwater and increase in volcanic and geothermal activity. Isn’t this town just north of Yellowstone?

I wasn’t aware it had been released yet, but I just downloaded “Roxy by Proxy” from a bit torrent. It’s all live with the 1973-1973 Mothers lineup. What a kick ass album!

That would be weird.

First gold in the drinking water.

Then the big one blows.

Actually I am puzzled how any normal municipal water plant managed to have gold flakes get past its particulate filters.
