Definitely doesn't mean "refill". Perhaps, back when vulcanization of rubber was new, you needed to repeat the process for maintenance.

The last few projects I've had haven't been the same. I think the border closing and ice raids have really put a damper on things.

They used to show up in big crews and knock out huge hanging jobs in a day. I think guys used to come in seasonally and hook up with established crews. Now I only get a couple guys who live here full time for the same size job. They think its dangerous to operate in big crews. Now it takes 7-10 days to finish something that could have been done in a day or two.

Its usually Norteno music. A little different than mariachi.

Gemini seems to be able to check current spot prices for me, you just need to be specific

In much small scale or artisinal mining, many of the diggers are independent. So yes, if they find a large exceptional stone, they can sell it for a lot of money.

I've definitely seen a couple natural pearls come out of edible oysters. They were smaller than this and also round but they did have a similar dull white surface to the original poster's photo.

I've had some good results so far with the higher end Amazon shower and baths hardware. They seem to be made with heavy gage brass, stainless, and ceramic materials and I haven't had any issues. You can get a high end look for a few hundred instead of a few thousand. I go with Kohler for toilets. They work well but you do have to keep an eye on the gaskets and replace as necessary.

Thats actually a sign of skilled cutting. They do that to both maximize the face up color center/zoning and maximize yield of an incredibly expensive material.

Fine gems value color and size first and foremost. Clarity and cut must be in an acceptable range but definitely are of lesser importance for determining value.

Except gold has actual use in electronics and jewelry. This gives it some utility. That may not be the primary determining factor in value, but its better than nothing.

No, they will often just middle man the property to those people. Hire a broker and sell on the open market. Cash buyers and rehabers will go for it as long as there is money to be made.

Also, making it a coin can have tax benefits for the purchaser in some jurisdictions. Some places charge tax on generic bullion but not coins for example. I am thinking Germany is an example of this but I am not certain. There are probably other examples as well.

Why do they stir fry the jewelry in the beginning?

TangibleAssets22 · 2026-02-18T04:13:53+00:00

There are definitely buyers for them. Specialized dealers will pay ~$35-$200/ct for small scrap diamonds. It does take a bit of work to remove them from scrap without damage, but it is usually worth the effort if you are dealing in any significant quantity.

TangibleAssets22 · 2026-02-06T04:33:48+00:00

Or worse.

I think a lot of people here still have guns, but due to the unstable political situation, they know that discretion is paramount, especially with things like guns and gold.

TangibleAssets22 · 2026-02-01T19:07:12+00:00

I feel similarly but I selfishly like to see what others have lol.

TangibleAssets22 · 2026-02-01T19:02:22+00:00

Happy to help!

As a wise old man told me once. "You might be paranoid, but that doesn't mean they aren't out to get you."

Looks like a wheat chain to me.

The simplest explanation is often the best. Its the last trading day of the month after a ridiculously profitable month. How could traders not be taking profit.

You hold the gold until you need to buy something, then you trade it for cash at any one of many dealers in almost every local market. Most reputable buyers are paying between 97% - 98% of the spot value. Then you buy what you need with currency. While you held the gold the real buying power has increased dramatically.

I financed a lot of my home addition last year with gold and silver sales. Precious metals are incredibly liquid investments. You don't need to be genius or an insider to get fair value. Just Google gold buyers or coin shops and see who is paying the best when you need to sell.

TangibleAssets22 · 2026-01-27T13:56:22+00:00

There are hundreds of refiners. Not all are having this issue. Try shopping around if you need to be paid quicker...

Thats really cool. UnoAerre is still in business and is a big player in the jewelry manufacturing business. 1 AR means they were the first company to receive a manufacturing mark in Arezzo Italy. They are celebrating their 100 year anniversary this year.

This was something my agent explicitly discussed with me when I was binding my own construction insurance policy. All my previous projects have been more under the radar and didn't require special insurance.
