All the Gold In California

[maddog55]

Yeah...not buying at all.

[Vaquero]

You mean 75.459 X 75.459 feet.

I still can’t believe they got away with her name.

Elon wants to mine asteroids.

[Larry Lucido]

We’re going to need a bigger safe deposit box.

And some more stars to go supernova. Then wait.

[Lazamataz]

Onward to the asteroid belt!

54,000 tons of gold yet to be mined

Theoretically there is a great deal of gold at the center of the Earth mixed in with the iron core.

But how to get it out?

I personally wouldn’t trust any article that talks about a “cricket pitch”. Because as we all know, crickets can barely hold a baseball. They can’t throw it at all.

🤔

Big straw.

I live in El Dorado County California where the gold rush started in 1848.
A learned geologist friend here claims only about 10 % of the gold (750,000 lbs) was mined here so about 90% still in the ground.
3 of my properties had high yield gold mines (all placed gold deposits)
All those mines are still accessible and mined well after the gold rush ended.

Still have a 48” trommel behind my house that in the 25 years I’ve lived here was never run.

Placer not placed mines

[suasponte137]

I’ve heard it also described before as basically the same size as the base that the Statue of Liberty stands on. That being how much gold is actually on earth.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Construction of U.S. Bullion Depository, Fort Knox. The Depository measures 105 x 121 feet (32 x 37 meters) and is 42 feet (13 meters) above ...

[kinsman redeemer]

Do they say how HIGH the box is?

[gundog]

Plenty in seawater, too.

[calljack]

Well If you like that stat then this will blow your mind. You could take all the cars and trucks ever made and put them in a cube less than 3 miles on a side.
