I have a cousin who used to work as a metallurgist in a smelter in NJ. When the plant was closed (back in 1980's) his job was to supervise the last few workers digging up the floor (it was earth) in the precious metals smelting room. They recovered over $1,000,000 !!! And that was at 1980's prices for gold.
You will have to fight me for that job, Odega!
He kept a small nugget from the last smelting as a memento of his work there. (I figure it weighed about 1.5 oz.)
I wonder if he still has it?
Maybe CGFI will give us the chance to buy a small nugget when we visit. I would buy one!
