Gold and Silver at past times
For more than 6,000 years, people have cherished and fought over gold, and this metal was responsible in part for the making of civilization. Gold is the universally accepted medium of exchange. It is also a status symbol, and down through the ages people have adorned their bodies with this metal regardless of its great weight. Along with diamonds, gold is exchanged during marriage ceremonies in most parts of the world. Gold is even believed to have healing powers. People in Japan seek its medicinal powers by bathing in a tub fashioned into a shape of a phoenix made from 400 pounds of pure gold.
Gold does not tarnish and resists corrosion; gold coins recovered from sunken treasure ships that have lain on the bottom of the ocean for centuries look as bright as new. Gold is extremely malleable, and a single ounce can be beaten into a sheet covering nearly 100 square feet. Visitors to Bangkok, Thailand, are often awestruck by the apparent abundance of gold spread on the roofs of temples and other buildings until one realizes how extremely thin gold gilding can be made. Even glass coated with a thin film of gold can reflect the summer's sun and retain a building's heat during the winter to cut down on utility costs.
The California gold rush began in early 1848 with the discovery of gold at John Sutter's sawmill near present-day Sacramento. Word spread like wildfire, and Californians headed for the hills to mine gold. They were soon joined by get-rich-quick men from other parts of the country, who stormed into California from all directions. Several thousand poorly equipped fortune hunters died along the way, most from disease, famine, and cold. Mining camps sprang into shantytowns, where miners lived under primitive conditions and claim disputes and drunken brawls were common. Supplies had to be paid for in gold dust, and prices were exorbitant. Of the many thousands who went into the mountains to dig for gold, only a few actually got rich, most of who did so by mining the pockets of other miners.
The gold-bearing veins of the foothills of the western Sierra Nevada Range in California are usually steeply inclined ledges dipping down into the granite roots of the mountains. The hydrothermal veins of the Mother Lode system trend north-south, covering a distance of some 200 miles. The veins are composed of hard, milky white quartz, generally no more than three feet wide. The quartz might have a few specks of gold and pyrite (fool's gold) sprinkled throughout, but seldom did stringers of pure gold shoot through the veins. Most miners panned for gold out of the sands and gravels that washed down from the mountains.
Gold has a specific gravity or density of about 19, making it roughly eight times heavier than ordinary sands and gravels. Therefore, if gold sands are placed in suspension with water by vigorous swirling or sluicing, the gold falls out of the mixture and onto the bottom of a gold pan or sluice box. This technique is known as placer mining, and for this type of mine to be profitable, many tons of sand and gravel along with large quantities of water have to be processed. An individual panning for gold will most likely not get rich, but at the present price of around $300 a troy ounce (12 ounces per pound), he or she might possibly find enough to pay for provisions with a little left over. The forty-niners rarely did so.
The gold rush was not confined to California but headed eastward into Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, and Nevada. The gold of Carlin, Nevada, is an oddity, however. The gold flakes are so small they cannot be seen even with most microscopes. Yet those tiny specks add up to at least 85 million ounces, making the area the world's third-largest gold producing region. The gold boiled up in the same hot magma plume or hot spot that gave rise to Yellowstone National Park. Along its way to its present location, the hot spot left a trail of basins, volcanoes, and geysers from Nevada, across Idaho, and into Wyoming. About 40 million years ago, the hot spot rested underneath Carlin, where gases and water saturated with gold shot up toward the surface.
Perhaps the most spectacular mining episodes and mines with the most colourful names were located in the Colorado Mountains, which are peppered with old abandoned mining camps, attesting to the many thousands who had more gold in their eyes than they found in the ground. When the underground mines played out, gold dredging techniques were developed. Some of the old mining towns eventually became ski resorts, gambling destinations, and tourist attractions; many more became ghost towns with only a few remnants to mark the past.
Silver is often associated with gold, and the Comstock Lode in Nevada was the scene of one of the largest mining booms in the history of the opening of the American West. Although silver was originally discovered in 1859, production did not peak until the 1870s.Many mines were scattered along a three mile mineralized fault zone that separated young volcanic rocks from older rocks. The lode forms a slab, inclined about 40 degrees to the horizontal, and reaches a thickness of 400 feet and a depth of 3,000 feet below the surface. The silver combines with sulphur to make simple silver minerals such as argentite, with a nearly 3 percent gold content, which helped make mining more profitable.
The gold and silver mines in South America were responsible in large part for the Spanish settlement there shortly after Columbus discovered the Americas. Natives of the Inca Empire, which stretched halfway down the Andes Mountains, extending some 3,000 miles from Colombia to Argentina, mined gold and silver out of eroded stumps of ancient volcanoes. Cerro Rico ("hill of silver") in Bolivia is a 15,000-foot volcano that was literally shot through with veins of silver.
When the Spanish conquistadors first landed in Peru in 1532, they found the Inca Empire torn apart by civil war. The Spaniards had little trouble taking over the empire and captured a great deal of gold and silver along with masterpieces of Inca goldsmiths, which they melted into bullion and sent on to Spain. Some Spanish galleons, heavily loaded with gold and silver, were lost during storms at sea, and today their precious cargoes are eagerly sought after by undersea treasure hunters.

Unique Holiday Gifts For Men
Holiday gifts for men tend to fall into only a handful of categories; electronics, golf balls, and socks, specifically of the Gold Toe type because I guess Gold Toes just scream Christmas.
It really doesn't have to be this way. Really. It doesn't. I have enough socks. They might have holes in them but they still work just like they're supposed to. If you give me golf balls I'll just lose them anyway, probably because you bought me the wrong type and I shanked them into the woods. And electronics? Do you really want me to pay less attention to you at the dining table? I'll either be staring at my new smartphone figuring out how to put "Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer as my custom ringtone, planning my sweet moves on the level 5 boss in the new game that is paused in the background, or pondering how to get 8.1 Dolby Digital THX-certified sound from the new sound system. "Maybe if I place the speakers at a 16.4 degree angle perpendicular to the La-Z-Boy, I'll boost the dB rating by 2%"
What a man really wants is something unique and something that will make him think that you care.
Here are 10 unique items that we think would bring a smile to any stylish man if your life.
1.
Large Historic Tug Boat Signal Bell - $1,200
Guys love steampunk. It's a fact. You've never heard of steampunk? It's okay. What you need to know is that we think that it's awesome. Pseudo-Victorian machines? Yes please. What makes something steampunk? Some of the things to look for is a victorian aesthetic, contraptions, steam-power, and mechanical elements.
This piece by Early Electrics fits the bill. It is an early 19th century tug boat signal bell, very similar to the type found on boxing rings or a firehouse. Perfect for a man cave or office to compliment a vintage boxing glove collection, or to be able to signal the missus when someone's iced tea needs refilling. If you are the recipient of this gift, I would suggest the latter's use sparingly.
2.
Antique Over-sized Chess Set - $1,500
I absolutely love this chess set from R.T. Facts. Love, love, love. It reminds me of Christmas day as a child when I played chess with my father on our own over-sized chess set. What memories. It's a shame that as one gets older, these traditions fall by the wayside. Here's your chance to start your own chess-playing tradition with this very unique chess set with pieces up to 9 inches tall. Checkmate.
3.
1950's Zanetto Murano Bull - $2,500
Hearing how well Art Basel is doing this week, I think it's safe to say (please let us have a bull market. Pretty please) we're on our way to bouncing back from this little recession that we've have. What better way to hope for the best than with a 1950's Italian Murano glass bull by Zanetto from our dealer Ohmio. Perfect for someone in finance, or someone that just plain likes bulls.
4.
Pop Art Anti-tank Specialist Painting by Jason Allan - $850
Childhood memories are all grown up. This painting being sold by material[ENVIRONMENT] is from the Enemy Elite Trooper series by artist Jason Allan. Based on the action figures of G.I. Joe, they are a great testimony to the memories of many childhoods and have now developed into an adult pop art icon.
5.
Osvaldo Borsani for Tecno Canada Lounge Chair - $3,300
Every man needs a lounge chair in his life. It's a place to read the paper and drink a cup of coffee while your dog is lying next to you. And if you're going to get a lounge chair, you might as well get a mid-century Italian one made with cognac colored leather and rosewood veneer from Quintessentia. The leather floats off the frame, which effectively cradles the lucky one sitting down.
6.
Edward Bohlin 21 Club Watch Band with an Omega Wristwatch - $2,200
It's no secret that stylish men love watches and this one from Hacienda is special. This watch was custom made for Jack and Pete Kriendler, owners of the legendary 21 Club in NYC, and given away to their elite clients in the 1940's and 50s. As such, there are very few of these around.
7.
Sporting Prints By English Artist Henry T. Alken (1785 - 1851) - $350/each
The sporting life. What could be more "civilized"? These prints from The Dongan Collection are pencil style etchings with original hand color from Alken's Sporting Illustrations published in 1824. Henry Alken is one of England's best sporting artists, and an accomplished printmaker as well. Perfect for the animal lover, hunter, or English gentleman.
8.
1970's Entertainment Center - $595
Your man still has records. You might not know it. But I do. Do you know how he's probably playing his collection? He's not. He probably has his record collection in protective cases hanging on the walls because he doesn't have a way of playing his Brubeck or Miles vinyls. Help him out with this record player/entertainment center from Weisshouse.
9.
Vintage Cigar Band Folk Art Decanter - $425
Cigars and wine. What a great pairing. This folk art glass decanter from Hacienda is completely covered by cigar bands. I've included some close up photos because the level of detail is amazing. And for $425? That is a great, great price. It reminds me of a 1900's version of what the artists Ghosts of a Dream are currently doing with lottery tickets.
10.
Original Vintage Sci-fi Italian Movie Poster of Godzilla vs Megalon - $950
Let's see how many boxes this poster checks. Robots? Godzilla? Italy? Japan culture? Cinema? Checks all around. This rare 1970's sci-fi movie poster comes from Samuel Owen Gallery. At 55 inches tall, it is sure to make an impact in any study.
