During a gold rush, the people selling the shovels are the ones who get rich.

I thought this video was about the history not teaching me what good is good for.

Gold is over rated in terms of colour and all. Investment makes sent but I'll stick to silver jewellery it looks cleaner when paired with a gem to me

Great american gold rush... Californian gold rush It's the californian gold rush. there were other gold rushes like the ones in the yukon and alaska. but you didn't mention them you mentioned the Califonian gold rush and actually you didn't do much history you forgot to mention who found the inital gold nugget near sutters mill. Forgot to mention almost all of the actual history of the rush.

I wonder how nutritious Gold is? I know it sounds like a weird question, but people consume gold in some forms. Like gold flakes in lager or sometimes rich people eat small amounts of gold leaf in some foods. I know that all foods are made of compounds of elements, but Gold is an element I'm curious about in terms of consumables.
