I am not only talking about the experiences Gordon shares, but the actual goldmine of real world tips as it relates to buying and selling.

There is so much here that you just can't use it all.

Find what works for you, and then work, work, work.

As I have said many times, I appreciate what you do Gordon.

Warmly,

Just for fun, went with an old Navy buddy (shoutout to all Veterans today) on a gold finding expedition. Mostly drinking around a campfire and swapping tall tales.

We were panning. In CA and AZ. The thing about gold is, it is often covered or surrounded by other rock, mud and/or embedded with other minerals. Same for diamonds, as I found out in Arkansas, looking for diamonds.

One. You have to know what you are looking for.
Two. It is often hidden, in plain sight.
Three. It takes extra digging, or chipping away, to get to the good stuff.
Four. It can be tedious.
Five. Most give up, like in the book, ACRES OF DIAMONDS, just a few feet from wealth.

Today,
they
want it delivered to the door. And ready to digest, use or apply.
I, too, have often discovered some lost gold here, especially the first few years, when we were cooking with gas (old timey speak).
