Strange.  I guess a hoard made during the 30s when they were calling in the gold to melt down?

Keep the gold. Why trade it in for fiat currency that becomes more and more worthless with each passing day. Those coins will only gain in value. Can't say that about our pathetic dollar.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: I see.

Fortunately he can check out the Detroit video and see it shrink.

Yes. And also some aquifers that pull from as far north as Elko County. The lake has been dropping in level for a long time now actually.

Worth its own thread?

The Pope is bringing Liberation Theology in from the cold.  Perhaps not all that unpredicatable but still significant.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
