MYTH OF GOLD: The Magic Metal Born from Stardust | WELT Documentary 

No fever like GOLD fever

May he rest in peace my friend.

Thanks for sharing your story. He was millionaire because he was doing what he loved.

Being filthy rich is overrated. Once you can pay your bills fairly easily, everything else is gravy. Sure, winning the 'lottery' would be a lot of fun for a while, but I remember reading a study that suggested people's general level of happiness plateaued at about $75k/yr. Learn to get by with less, appreciate what you have, and enjoy the moment. Rich people still face life problems; it's just a different set of problems.

@jonr6680 afraid it's minus 10 points for the over-syrupy, affected voice for me. Creepy. Gives me the shudders. How different we are.

@@peterallman8474 haha I know exactly what you mean! But there's a role for everyone, that guy was born to be 'voiceover guy', amirite?

Gold is useless. Copper and steel and aluminium is vital. But gold is a scam.

Well back to the subject at hand, I was an amateur prospector for many years in Georgia,USA. It is an amazing illness to catch, (Gold Fever) and you don’t mind the length of the illness at all. My days of being underwater are far behind me now. I started with a simple pan and shovel. As my illness progressed, the severity and symptoms varied. After prospecting on public properties for a while I found that the most desirable and productive gold bearing properties were owned or leased by several clubs in my area. There are clubs such as those throughout America. I’m not sure about most other countries but in america we don’t have as many restrictions as to who or where we are allowed to prospect. The main restrictions nowadays are along the lines of respecting property ownerships and environmental impact. You can prospect on privately owned land as long as you get permission and respect the land. Certain public lands in gold bearing areas allow access as long as you obey special environmental laws. The main issues have to do with the destruction of natural areas and being able to leave your workings as you originally found them along with which methods or equipment being permitted there. Basically, you cannot just go into the national forrest with dynamite and bulldozers. It’s not that complicated to do amateur prospecting. I eventually joined a club which leased proven properties from landowners who owned the mineral rights along with the properties outright. The landowners dictated which legally allowed methods they permitted to be used.The clubs had rules to follow as well. In my case, I started out with little knowledge and equipment but quickly graduated to using an engine driven High-Banker and Underwater Suction Dredge. There were also restrictions on the physical size of that equipment as well. In the case of Suction dredges, in my club as well as by law, the diameter of the suction hose was limited to six inches with a nozzle diameter of five inches. Without getting to deep into the weeds, suffice it to say that the hose sucked up material from the stream or riverbed. The sucked-up material was then dumped across essentially la larger version of the sluice-box as seen in the video. My club had members who were all there for the excitement of the chase along with the fellowship that naturally ensues with a group of like-minded people. Some of the older members had as much as a mayonnaise jar full of gold acquired over the years after many hours of back-breaking labor. This was a case of work that was so enjoyable that you actually look forward to the Sun rising every morning so as to commence another day of self inflicted hard labor.

@@billspencer8540 haha, you fell right into that one didnt you ?!?!

@@johnrussell2848 lol you're not wrong

This video is a propaganda hit piece. The script called for hardship, so they called the trek so.

Why are any of you more a fan of silver over gold? .... ( serious question )

@@justinb384 - it’s cheaper. Stack them silver bars 😀

@@justinb384I think it is just prettier and i think you could do more with Silver Tech wise than Gold. but i could be wrong about the last one. :)

You're correct!! I make a lot of money without relying on the government. Investing in stocks and digital currencies is beneficial at this moment

Lately i got interested in crypto but has no idea on how to go about it. How does it work please .

Stacey Macken's strategy has been instrumental in helping me navigate the past few months. Without it, I don't think I would have made it through

Wow...I know her too she is a licensed broker and a FINRA agent she is popular in US and Canada she is really amazing woman with good skills and experience.

Stacey demonstrates an excellent understanding of market trends, making well informed decisions that leads to consistent profit

Some day these lads will find enough gold to pay off their gear. they will probably be retirement age by then

@@br.m​​⁠they literally said they do it as a hobby 😂 did we watch the same video?

@@Gold_Silver. Yes and I literally wrote my comment as a bad joke. Did we respond below the same comment?

Mans entertainment when it’s time to spend it

Print paper dollars to buy all the gold dust.

Then get like 9 flakes of gold during the entire documentary! Yah, ill be the one selling the shovels by the way!

@@Bruceless They look outfitted to the max. Definitely all top brand names. Your kids are going to college. Now on their end they definitely believe they'll find a massive score. But "it's for the soul enriching adventure of simply being outdoors" Then why all of the hyper expense? 😄

@@Been.Here.Since.2007 A few flakes of gold will be worth more than all the Euro in the world in a decade... it's exciting if you understand the history

@@happyfunnyfoo Gold won't be worth anything once the world currency becomes 100% digital. Diamonds have become worthless over the past 30 years. Physical wealth will vanish and only the elite will hold possessions that are worth anything.

What kind of was thinking something similar LOL

Exactly. Where is the deterrence?

Gold inspires greed? No it does not, greed is part of the human condition, take a look at william gates and his greed, no Gold there???

Good friendship, too.

Minor planets that have been cracked open by collision should be a huge source of gold. When we finally get off this rock.

@@rpbajb Witch will probably be never.

Exactly , and there was inflation in Ancient Rome so how can the first inflation be in Spain 400 years ago , the love pushing there fake news on this channel

There is nothing wrong with buying gold jewelry at or below melt value

@@higgpigg4326 I am not criticising gold jewelry, it is a fact that bullion gold has better spread, better liquidity, and better protection against haggling. I never eat hawaian pizza because there's always better choices, that doesn't mean I would starve if only pineapple pizza was left. Get it?

The insurance company will try to get the money back from them until the end of their life. And everything that ever comes into their possession will be seized. At least in the EU, the insurance company is informed immediately when they open a bank account or receive a credit card or rent something etc.

I thought Germany was liberated in WWII?

@@lc285 Liberated into what ? A nation controlled by central banks and a people(slave) who are required to use a fiat debt currency ?

But klaus schwabians like "welt" need to shit against it. Because it can't be digitized like mr fat schwab wants.

Fiat debt currency is not money. It's debt borrowed into existance and owed back to the issueing central bank plus interest. Gold is money eveything else is credit/debt.

Why would they pay above spot? I could understand paying spot but that’s it. You pay above after it’s been purified and depending on the form they make the final product.

How about we just show them, then teach them, a much better, more efficient recovery system, that uses ZERO mercury?

They have but the energy to make it is astronomically high so it's not worth it, as of now. Who knows if it'll be easier in the future but let's hope not or the price will be crashed.

Jesus spoke gold, and this whole earth into existence roughly 6,000 years ago.

Worth it

I would risk four years for that much. They obviously must have it hidden somewhere or got paid for it from whoever hired them. No wonder crime is going up if there is basically no punishment for taking something worth so much.

When you realise it was a propaganda hit piece, all your concerns get answered immediately.

@@tomasdvorak7307 "...Why 'Elemental'... What's On?" By Jove! You are correct... It is Simplicity Itself. I would have the majority population see this on a grand scale, so that ALL Our concerns- convictions, also could be Resolved at once, unanimously - and be answered Immediately... You're a Genius! How I could be Stupid so long? The greatest advantage seems to be in Stupid- the difference in the two, being that Genius...Has limits.

They mentioned they have found 30 grams so far, thats like over 2000 USD as of today, plus its a hobby.

Then gold flake would be worth tons . Not all gold is equal purity wise
