There is a growing business of financing with precious metals used as collateral. I've recently explored small real estate loans using monster boxes for collateral, and am even enjoying this endless summer traveling and prospecting using a small personal loan using a monster box as collateral. I'm happy in that I can store some of this stuff in my local bank vault, and don't have to be so "guarded" of my hoard. (smile) Now, to find some free gold! S~P
