Man makes up to $300/day panning for gold/rare gems simply by walking streets of New

[Serpo]

And the streets where paved with GOLD............


Like Gus Chiggins, Queens resident Raffi Stepanian is a modern day prospector with humble dreams: to avoid coyotes, and find his fortune in the sidewalks of midtown Manhattan. Stepanian made waves last summer when he was interviewed by the Post about panning for bits of gold, platinum and rare gems in the Diamond District. He has said that he makes up to $300 dollars a day: “The streets of 47th Street are literally paved with gold.” More recently, Stepanian has been featured on the new show Penn and Teller Tell a Lie. Below, you can see that segment on him, as well as another video of Stepanian doing his thing. Of course, if Stepanian really wanted to make some money, he’d go straight for the taxi medallion gold.

[StreetsOfGold]

And the streets where paved with GOLD

Amen

Revelation 21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

When Phelps Dodge closed their mine in Douglas Arizona the folks said the nature of the countryside really changed. Unemployed miners would ask them what they were looking for (turquoise, azurite, relics) and when shown these things would turn away in disgust. If the other had been shown they most probably would have been knocked over the head. Gold hunters have a fever.

This is a cool story, but I believe it's a re-post
