Goldfield is an old gold-mining town, largely abandoned, but with some of its history on display.
DrFumblefinger loves visiting old mining towns, of which there are many in Colorado. One of the most interesting is the town of Gold Hill, formed before Colorado had even been granted statehood.
DrFumblefinger visits Dubai’s famous gold market, filled with enough gold to even satisfy Scrooge McDuck’s cravings for the stuff. Dubai accounts for 25% of the world’s gold trade.
In the hills of Minas Gerais, 500 km NW of Rio de Janeiro, this area produced more than half of the gold of the whole world between the 17th and 19th centuries!
Danish archaeologists have found 2,000 gold spirals buried in a field in Zealand, near a site where several ancient gold bracelets and bowls had previously been discovered.
A sheath of grain in one arm, a torch in the other. Coated with (real) gold pain
At current prices, worth about a half million dollars! Wish they’d hand these out as free souvenirs
