Yes, I think he could pay the reward in gold.

Even today there are miners who work on the weekends and get a little gold.

There are men who go to the mining areas and buy it directly off the miners.

I haven't been active in the mining world for 15 years, but see no reason to think that it has changed.

At the King Tut mining area, at Meadview and near Lake Mead, there are a lot of people who go and use dry washers to work the hillsides, some snowbirds come for the winter and they tell me that a buyer comes to the area and buys what they find.

I would think that there is as much gold floating around that is not going through the banks as there is that does.

Remember, the stroke of the pen and a President's signature could make it illegal to own gold.

It has been true before and will be again.

This is why so many people want to own "un-recorded" gold.

This is why so many people want to own "un-recorded" gold.

Not that they could do anything with it if ownership were illegal again.

Granny how naive of me to think "gold" or anything could be above corruption in this world.
You are so right and I am so glad to have you here.
