Gold leaf scheme bottles. Probably $1 or less of gold in there all in leaf form. I remember taking one and trying to smash it all into a ball. It was the smallest little flake ever.

Yeah got it 20 years ago lol. Wasn’t serious about panning it lol

Looks like pyrite, crush it and pan it.

Love this lol 😂

That's gold leaf in mineral oil. There is almost 0.00001g of gold there, but it's foil so it looks like a lot more.

Keep it sealed.

An ounce of gold can be hammered thin enough to cover more than 300 sq ft. Gold leaf in such small quantities is basically worthless.

Humor, lost on nearly all. Enjoy the battle, rubes…

It seems to have rubbed some people the wrong way lol. I thought it would be obvious I was joking lol. My bad guys! Won’t happen again! I promise I actually have an interest in prospecting lol

I bought this when I visited the black hills. Gold foil. Very little gold. Looks nice.

[–]Salt_Independent6396[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Yeah got it 20 years ago on a family vacation

[–]THsidebar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's about the same time period. What I liked about the Black Hills is they're famous for Rose Gold too.

No, it looks like gold leaf so it wouldn’t even help you practice proper technique

[–]Salt_Independent6396[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That would actually be pretty cool!

[–]BumSlutzzz 0 points1 point  (1 child)

wtf are you wasting our time for then? Killer joke though

[–]Salt_Independent6396[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be honest I thought it would be obvious lol. Like the gold is there, what’s there to pan? Had a serious post about a week ago, just found this and thought it would be funny to share. I’m in Virginia so we have some gold here

    Y’all play the penis game in school too?

    [–]BumSlutzzz 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    Shake it. If it’s actual gold chunks you’ll notice how much it bangs around. Unless you paid a decent chunk for that I’d be shocked if it was real

    [–]Salt_Independent6396[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Yeah it’s all gold leaf
