    I dunno how it works, but they gave my mom gold salts shots for heel spurs other arthritic symptoms and it took the pain away for FIVE YEARS at a time.

    Although gold doesn’t tarnish, it could have been encrusted from being underwater or discolored from lying next to other metals (such as iron). In which case it wouldn’t have been a nice shiny gold color, and somebody may have mistaken it for something worthless to pass along to a little kid.

    My guess is that gold is pretty good for depression, too.

    You might be surprised what coins continue to circulate. I have gotten canadian coins, buffalo-head nickles, mercury dimes, and even a WW2 non-copper penny.

    A gold coin worth $300; That’s about one day of normal spending.

    I spend buffalo nickels every so often just to see if I get a reaction. Don’t get one very often.
