I am happy with the 100 oz's that I found up In the roof, still keep the 10 oz one #29595 next to my recliner.

I found some gold once. An earing which weighed 3 grams (18K gold).

I just need to duplicate this find another few thousand times

[Silver Rocket Bitches!]

I got a silver dime back in my change once.

Silver looks too untarnished.

How many here would have given it back?
Imagine the fun of stacking/counting your new found wealth.

What an odd story?*#


#1 Why would you call the police?

#2 Why in the world would you give away an unopened safe?


#3 If pops is hording 2.5 Mill wouldn't he leave some sort of will?I bet the family is already lawyered up and ready to battle. It is amazing the police gave back the $$ so quickly. Rule of thumb: If the police have it, it is gone, forget about it!

I suspect too many people saw that safe being opened.
The smart thing would have been to take the safe home and open it himself.
The story could have gone another way. All who saw it opened could have started grabbing and possibly killing each other over it.

This is a real stab in the dark, but I find it odd that all these stories are popping up about PM stashes/hoards being found.

None of them pass the smell test as the posts above show. Is there another purpose, perhaps psychological in nature that these stories are meant to reinforce?

They all give the perception to the public that PM's have no practical use other than hidding away only to be lost at some point down the track when you're dead. It will just get lost or thrown away seems to be the take home message. I know its a long shot to make this connection but our minds work in funny ways and the 0.1% know this. They appear to be attempting to program the herd into thinking that PM ownership only happens when someone finds their strange uncles lost stash, stuff that eventually just gets thrown out because of its ultimate lack of utility.

The real story is SMART people invest in PM's not idiots, but thats not what the MSM would like to propagate in the publics mind, they want you to swallow the story that only dumb relatives invest in PM's, that they're ultimately worthless to the average guy who hasn't a clue what to do with it other then sell it for well under spot so they can take the kids to disneyland or buy the misses a new *insert worthless status object here*

The Fiat money scam has turned its last trick, PM inventories are at all time lows, Asian buyers are hoovering up EVERY.LAST.OUNCE. Price manipulation happening with such regularity you could set your clock to it (like the last 24 hrs)...meanwhile Bail-ins seem to be the quiet talk around town, best to send a clear message to the masses about the futility of PM ownership....
