gold

inspires greed people travel far in search for why seeing it impresses and hypnotizes, leads to temptation, crime and anarchy, the other side of the coin, the dawn over the Thean forest in the heart of Germany, Kevin Basovich and Robin Vice Lea are looking for gold, the two have been here before and know it. The journey to where there may be something will not be easy, last time we also went this way, yes, yes, but I would climb a little higher, even higher, yes, maybe that will also make the climb a little bigger.

My bag is heavier than I thought. They carry a good 12 kilos each, pickaxes, metal detectors, supplies, some cans of beer, they know that worms are for early risers, it's still quite cold and we might see some animals along the way. Basically, you stay unconscious all day. and then you pan for gold late Into the Night Kevin is 28 years old and an IT expert Robin, 30 years old, works in the real estate industry, it becomes increasingly strenuous cross-country and then up the mountainside, good exercise, right? yes, not bad at 5 in the morning it's starting to get hot just from climbing there are tree trunks everywhere the bark The beetle has devastated the forest here soon the worst is behind us very good half the battle is already won now im exhausted nice to see at an altitude of around 700 M is the first reward it will be easier from now on Kevin and Robin have been panning for gold together for seven years they know what signs to look for here is the Bedrock thats what We are looking for if there are courts and officers like this, it is a good indicator that there is gold in it and that is what we are looking for.

The path leads to rock and perhaps also gold that formed millions of years ago, crystallized as it cooled. Quartz veins sometimes formed with gold inclusions. Here in the Pizarra Mountains, gold mining dates back to the Middle Ages. It is said that the miners extracted about 25 kilos from the tunnels in the area, after that it was no longer worth the effort, just think back then they prospect extracted the gold with pickaxes which was really hard work, yes the tunnel is closed , but the area in front of the leveling looks quite promising. The two are not motivated by the prospect of a big find.

What counts for them is the search. I don't actually associate gold with wealth, okay, sure. Of course you want to succeed and find a part, but I've taken a pretty realistic attitude. You are satisfied with the little things and when you find something bigger, you are even happier. Well, let's move on, you're out of luck here. This aspect of luck has probably also fueled the

myth

of gold. If you find gold, even in the smallest piece, then it is always something valuable and you believe that the gods have smiled on you. Divine favor is also needed to find the legendary reinold The treasure of the nalong an ancient German

myth

about treasonous murder and a cursed treasure people are still searching for gold in the Rind today tracking down the eternal metal that chases it in all inspired countries in both legends and actual reports To the depths of the ocean floor, where tons of gold looted from old sunken ships are found and where geologists believe there are still huge natural deposits in the ground, artificial gold production would have been the Opus Magnum, the masterpiece of alchemy, but searching for the formula of all formulas the philosopher's stone failed again and again In the end it produced porcelain is a search perhaps it is also a search for that moment that changes your entire life maybe even a search for self possibly the search for redemption in any case There is always a mystical aspect again and again.

Treasure hunters have tried to find more in the Thian Mountains. Well, be careful here, the holes in the ground witness this at all times. Following in the footsteps of the old gold diggers is not without dangers here. We have another unsafe tunnel entrance, that hole is between 5 and 6 meters deep. Someone has already been there looking for something you can easily slide into if you come this way. One stupid stumble is enough. Kevin and Robin have known each other since childhood. Documentaries about gold. The prospectors took them to their unusual hobby: searching for gold in Germany pales in comparison to searching for gold in Canada or Australia, but there is also a touch of adventure here.

Kevin is suddenly overcome by the gold rush. He discovered a promising geological formation the size of this quartz vein. It's huge, it's very, very big, a lot of mosquitoes here, quite a few, oh, look back, there, a whole swarm of mosquitoes. They stung me right away. Prospecting. It requires a certain tolerance for suffering. The light goes out briefly. Nothing goes perfect as planned. Kevin tries to detect gold in quartz with a metal detector; the device indicates a hit. Now I found a screw. The device also detects screws. That's why it sounds. There are no precious metals, only scrap metal.

There is much adversity to overcome in this narrow crevasse. The mosquitos. Then debris in my eyes, but you keep going anyway until you find something for the Prospectors. Giving up is not an option. Hope Springs Eternal. This feeling of euphoria, there is nothing like it. Unfortunately, that's all we'll find here. Okay, let's go. to the stream now if there was gold up here some of it would also be further down the stream due to the weather some gold ended up in the river the search for gold is full of failures that has always been true but we are not going to give To the bottom, this metal It wields

magic

al power and has been that way for at least 6,000 years.

That's how long people have been working with gold and the fascination has lasted just as long. Gold is a unique material with special properties, on the one hand. It will not corrode in 5,000 years it will still retain the same shape it has today It is also relatively easy to work with because it is very soft and it is safe to say that it is very aesthetic as a metal It emits a warm glow that almost makes it look Living gold captivates the eye. people like no other metal, including journalist and financial expert Daniel Eot. This was one of my first memories of money around 1980, when I was 10 years old.

They gave me a small gold coin, it was a tenth pound Kruger and at the same time, I love Scrooge McDuck comics, he just swims in gold and I thought that this little coin, this small sum, could one day become a big treasure, a great treasure like this coin, the largest gold coin in the world, the businessman and art collector. Bois fuksman bought the Big Maple Leaf in 2010, as big as a cart wheel with the image of Queen Elizabeth, minted with 100 kg of the purest gold, that's why I had to have it because it is extraordinary, something special, that's right, I can proudly say that I have a coin like this, the Canadian Mint sold five of them, one of these giant coins went to the queen herself, Boas Fuksman, she acquired another for 3.4 million euros as an investment and, as collector's item, it was clear to me and I didn't have one.

I have no doubt that the collectible value of this item would increase no matter what happens to the price of gold. The price of gold has increased. It's a good investment. In fact, 100 kilos of gold are worth 6.4 million, that is, almost double what I paid, but the currency no longer exists. now the gold piece aroused greed the coin adorned the BHA Museum in Berlin for 7 years Bois fuksman had lent it to the museum immediately after purchasing it the gold giant was the main attraction at the exhibition of the same name I think it was March 27 2017 we got a call in the office someone wanted to talk to me and they said Mr. fman, your coin has been stolen.

I responded immediately. Is this an April Fool's Day joke? It's only March 27th. They responded. This is not a joke. I asked how can that be the currency. It weighed 100 kilos. It is the largest gold theft in Germany's criminal history to date. How could the 100 kg coin disappear? Inspector René Al took over the case at the time when the situation center of the Berlin police as a department specialized in art crimes informed us that there had been a robbery at the border museum, a gold coin had been stolen of 100 kg and they asked us to go to the crime scene immediately.

The investigation revealed that the gold coins were quite unique, very pure and therefore soft, since the gold was extremely pure and of very high density the coin was very heavy. I couldn't even imagine how someone could carry something so large and heavy out of the museum without being seen or how many people it would take to safely remove it from the city's crime scene. The railway behind the building played a central role in transport running through the center of Berlin's Museum Island and, just after the bodm museum, in the early hours of March 27, 2017, three men entered the nearby station in Hakes Shamak, surveillance cameras filmed them later. the police were able to identify them by their posture the thieves had previously deposited their tools along the route during the day the trains rush past the exhibition halls with the gold coin almost within reach every minute but at night it is a different story There was a window of opportunity at night when there was no train traffic and the station was practically deserted.

The perpetrators were able to climb a ladder with the tool they used to commit the crime. A wheelbarrow, they entered the museum along the train track and did so unnoticed by the men. They used this ledge and the window above it to gain access to the second floor by an accomplice of the security staff, they knew that the alarm was off just 200 M ahead and they were standing in front of the coin when they arrived at the room where the coin was On display it was inside a large display case made of safety glass. They smashed it with an ax which took a while because the display case did not break with the first hit but at some point it could no longer withstand the force.

The perpetrators maneuvered the coin to the window in a cart and then moved it from there to the nearby Momu Park in a wheelbarrow. They only had 30 minutes until the train service would start again. The robbers left behind their tools along with traces of gold as they repelled her. From the track they didn't handle their loot very carefully there were traces of the gold coin on the pavement at that time which means it somehow hit the ground here or they left it on the ground the soft material transferred easily these are cobblestones new ones we are now confiscated the old ones from the period and soon realized that the coin was probably no longer in the same condition as it had been in the Museum the investigators suspected that recovering the coin would be difficult the thieves were never interested in the work of art the perpetrators after the Gold, seemed to be so fascinated by its size and value that they did not shy away from all this effort and risk.

A few months later arrests were made. The perpetrators were members of the Berlin Remo Clan. DNA tests on the tools used in the crime and traces of the stolen gold served to convict them. Traces of incomparably pure gold that could only have come from the Canadian Mint. We found flexes of gold coin in the men's vehicles on their clothing and gloves. This is a special type of gold and we were fortunate to be able to call a very experienced expert who was able to provide accurate evidence and convince the court that the gold particles we found were actually from the stolen currency.

Gold dust is all that remains of Boris Foxman's precious currency, dust. apparently it was created when the perpetrators cut the coin into many individual pieces the police suspect they melted it it used to be mine now there's nothing that bad left it really was a work of art to other people it might look like just a coin or just gold 100 kilos of gold but a collector sees both United in one piece three of the four defendants were convicted and sentenced to a maximum of 4 and a half years in a juvenile detention center the purchase price of the coin was refunded to buis fuksman by the insurance company the perpetrators never revealed what happened to him the tragic thing about gold is in a sense unfair because it cannot be assigned to any person an account is in my name a stock portfolio is in my name many things are personalized but gold is only an object, if I have a huge gold coin, I can just cut it up and melt it down and then it's just gold and the origin of the gold can no longer be traced, art theft can no longer be verified.

Treasures. made of gold is part of human history stolen gold became money in the 16th century the Spanish conquistadors stole gold from the Incas in South America the quantities were so large that the metal lost value in Europe the first inflation in the world history the insatiable greed of the Spanish conquistador eventually led to the fall of the Inca Empire at that time gold was a means of payment inEurope was a currency and in South America the Incas used it mainly as material for ritual objects. The Spanish were also fascinated by it. They came to America as conquistadors to find the promised land of gold and that led them to a kind of mania. like an ecstatic Gold Rush three centuries later another Gold Rush this time the supposed El Dorado was in North America in California and again for many the search did not end with happiness and wealth, but rather with violence, theft and death, in fact there are only a few reports of prospectors who actually became rich at the same time as the sellers of picks and pans and all the trimmings and also the carpenters who founded cities.

For the Prospectors they made more money than the Prospectors, but there is always the hope that if you find that big nugget, you will be rich in one fell swoop. It's like a gambling frenzy to believe that a lucky find will change your whole life in a stream in the Upins of central Germany. Kevin and Robin want to try their luck again. They are squeezed between waiters who allow them to remain in the cold water for hours. The two don't expect their lives to change. If they find gold but would like to discover traces of the precious metal, they have invested around €5,000 in their equipment, laundry baskets, shovels and much more, and of course frying pans, here you are using the sponge frying pan, I'll take that too , OK?

Let's see that the course of the water determines where gold can be found. I'll try this inside curve and then I'll try the outside curve here. Gold is mostly found on inside or outside curves behind thick stones, as you can see there are a lot of them. stones in the stream bed where it likes to hide but we have always had more success on the inside and outside curves because that is where it settles in winter or in the fall when the river has more water it always takes the shortest path and that is where First Gold can be found, they dig because heavy gold sinks to the bottom of the stream.

Robin and Kevin lift shovels full of sand and rocks from the creek and fill them into baskets. Now is the time for precision pan work, like in the days of the California gold rush, will they find gold here first? We sifted with this Sie for a while. Coarse stones fly out of the pan, then somewhat thicker material is left behind. This shaking and swirling motion makes the heavy material gold or heavy minerals. to settle at the bottom of the pan keep the pan in the water carefully and not hastily so that it all runs out in this case there is nothing there next Kevin continues searching with his hand for small flakes of gold that could get caught in the cracks of the Rock There are times when you get into a kind of gold rush where you can't stop, you just want to find that gold.

Wait, let me take another look. Three washes and there is no trace of gold. You have made three. This is my third. also again nothing good so let's move on so Upstream go once the two of them walked in the mountains in soaked waiters for 18 hours in a storm it was a nightmare says Kevin and they didn't find a speck of dust but the gold is basically in everywhere, yes, well, then, on a good day, you can find gold in almost every river in Germany. The question is how much and where it is. Yes, that's the question, not far away in 2004, a tye discovered the second one.

The largest piece of gold ever found in Germany, the size of a penny, its value is around €600. Kevin and Robin also search with small boxes, they imported them from Australia. Some boxes filter excavated rock faster than trays. You can find good places where you have Flex. of gold in the first shovel but you can also dig all day and not find a single specification on average there are about four grams of gold for every thousand tons of rock in the earth's crust sometimes a little more sometimes less depending on the region in which the two meet.

Gold diggers have a lot of work ahead of them, but they also see hard work as a way to relax from everyday life. It's always fun, there's always something new when I hear the water, I hear the birds singing and everything around me is green. I can tune in. getting out of everyday life is a good distraction a ride on a Harley some people get together with their friends and play football and we get together and look for gold gold prospecting is popular these days some weekends it's not so lonely out here last rock has gone through now you will see if there is any gold left in the cracks of the slle pad, okay let's see if there is anything there that you want to hold the pad, yes I will hold the pad, yes that looks good this is the most exciting part here. you can see a small but pretty little flake of gold here you can see it better on my finger yes, well that's our catch of the day which is perfectly respectable a small piece of gold Robin carefully puts it in a bottle a success that stimulates him Yo would say: We will dive tomorrow, tomorrow there will be perfect weather for it, then we will do that the gold dust in Robin's bottle was carried into the current from the mountains by erosion processes, the gold in the earth's crust came from outer space. as remains of a cosmic catastrophe is a fascinating story because gold was originally formed in supernova explosions when large stars die when they explode in their last years of life the atomic masses of the elements within the star are concentrated in such a way that the heavy elements are formed, including gold, there is another way, that is, when neutron stars collide, but this is much rarer, so it can be said that gold is star dust from dying giant stars that freeze the St supernova explosion and neutron star collision researchers suspect the precious metal is everywhere in the universe.

Asteroids, as well as on our Moon, our Cosmos, are until now an infinite treasure. However, humans have only been able to extract gold on our planet on average about 3,300 tons per year. The largest producing countries are China, Russia, Australia, Canada and the USA. The deepest mine is located in South Africa, gold is mined there at a depth of up to 4 km. All the most easily accessible deposits have been exploited for a long time. Gold mining consumes a lot of energy and the modern gold industry requires skilled workers who incur very high costs. Geologists estimate that there are a total of 52,000 tonnes of known gold deposits that could be exploited in the coming years.

At the current rate of gold extraction, they would last perhaps 15 or 20 years, which would essentially mean the end of gold mining in the future. Demand will never end. Almost half of the gold available in the world is processed into jewelry. Recycling is also used. it is becoming more and more important coins jewelry dental gold old gold becomes new Treasures gold is imperishable this is also part of its mythology I think that is what makes it so incredibly fascinating. Gold is a material that you can't get rid of, you can't burn it, you can't throw it away, you can't crush it or whatever, it's just there and used over and over again.

Once again, I find that the exciting entrepreneur and jewelry maker Guya Merla has discovered a completely different source. The gold in the shiny treasures she presents in her Berlin showroom comes mainly from old mobile phones. Jewelry made from electronic waste. Electronic waste. There is nothing particularly beautiful or luxurious. However, it is what it is and seeing what can be created from it has great symbolic value. Something with such negative connotations can be used to produce something so beautiful. The classic among gold rings is also made of gold for cell phones. The wedding ring here too. The effect is

magic

al.

If gold had the magic of always being there. It represents skill and luxury, especially when it comes to marriage. A gold ring lasts forever. Nothing can happen to him. Gold is practically indestructible. It cannot be fogged. It doesn't corrode you. Have it forever and here is the connection with marriage, there you want the same thing. Urban minds are raw materials contained in products that have already been produced. The amount of gold in old mobile phones is estimated to be around 3.5 tons. Only in Germany can you see the golden pieces. On the circuit board is gold and this gold is used to make a ring like this.

It is estimated that a cell phone contains 0.034 g of gold on average, so you would need 40 to 45 phones to make a ring, most of these phones are used. mobile phones from countries where they cannot be recycled, closing the circle, electronic waste is purchased and brought to Europe from countries like Ghana for recycling. Mobile phones are shredded and recyclable components are separated. The company's employees melt the pieces of gold which are then turned into nuggets and bars. The gold can now be processed again. The cycle is closed. Guya Mer is one of the clients who buys this gold to close the cycle.

The organization has nothing to do with the jewelry industry. The team just wants to make sure. that old mobile phones are recycled correctly and we buy the gold resulting from this recycling process. It's a company from the Netherlands and it's a good partnership because we continue to fund their work by buying their gold. A goldsmith uses gold granules from mobile phones to make rings. For collecting Guya Meras, the gold is heated in the smelting machine until it is liquid. 1 164° C is the melting point of fine gold, depending on the alloy, whether yellow, white or rose gold, silver and copper are added, the gold is poured into a mold made of plaster the ring then comes out of the machine casting the plaster is removed in an ultrasonic bath then a lot of manual work is required the goldsmith files and polishes the gold and then puts the finishing touches on the ring the many small gold components from scrap cell phones have found a new use as jewelry I always like to make the following comparison to get a gram of fine gold out of the ground I would have to process a ton of rock and if you imagine a stack of 40 cell phones and a ton of rock next to it, then the 40 cell phones don't seem so much Guya Mer She also collects donated phones herself in her studio.

She is now the third generation to design and sell jewelry, although she initially had no interest in the family business when her father died she took over the business after all and it went bankrupt while she was processing all of these things. I traveled to Peru and there I had the opportunity by chance or by chance to visit a gold mine and thus had access to the raw material in a completely different way. perspective I was so surprised to see what I experienced there in this gold mine. I never thought about how a commodity like gold is mined and processed from start to finish in Africa.

Additionally, gold is mined to some extent in very small mines, often under life. -Threatening conditions Guya Mcka visited mines like these on a trip to Uganda. She founded her company after bankruptcy based on her experiences. She now only processes recycled gold. With the foundation she tries to help those who risk their health to extract gold from the gold. The gold is then ground, this is done by hand using stone tools, water. Mercury and cyanide are added because they bind the gold, thus producing a gold amalgam. This substance is then heated over a fire and washed in the river and what remains after burning and washing it is this dirty gold in the true sense of the word, the Mind from which it originates, has since been replenished by instigation. by Guya Mer.

Workers now produce Liquid Gold honey. The conversion was financed with money from her foundation. A story that best fits what jewelry means to many people jewelry always has a story represents luxury for emotions you don't buy a piece of jewelry because you are bored you receive it as a gift or you buy it yourself on a special occasion in the other side having these dirty and degrading working conditions a source that is not good at all and that means pain for so many people for me that does not go hand in hand and that is the objective of my work to resolve these contradictions because luxury and ethics must go hand in hand On the hand, even stars such as Rihanna and Emma Watson have worn rings made of Guya Ma gold.

It is said that in German drawers there are 210 million old mobile phones. A treasure of gold that could be used to make many more jewelry. High gold prices are definitely worth mining for gold from electronic devices and it is sustainable too. This method is called Urban Mining, so there is this whole area where you can do a lot more. We are talking about many tons of gold that could be recovered from ancient objects. Electronic devices Germany's largest gold treasure is found every year in the Bundesbank in Frankfurt 1,710 tons About 137,000 bars valued at about 100 billion euros It is only presented to strictly selected visitors Everyone else can marvel at it in the Money Museum from the bank next door, but only in photos and films Borad Balz, member of the board of directors of Bundis Bankk, has seen gold with his own eyes.

It was a very special moment. HEI could say it was my own Scrooge McDuck moment. I couldn't even imagine it beforehand. So much antiquity in one place. I like to remember it. From that first time, everything shone, everything shined and the color had that warmth, even though it is a metal behind thick steel doors and protected by a whole series of locks, lies the German treasure. Modern beagle boys wouldn't stand a chance here. I would do it. I don't advise anyone to try it because the security measures are excellent. For example, we are talking about a large vault.

As a matter of principle, we do not reveal exactly where the vault is located in Frankfurt. Here in Frankfurt, it is surely in the bundas bank headquarters area, but no details are revealed and, most importantly, we have a considerable number of federal police officers guarding the vault and the gold hoard within the gold reserves. . A real bar is on display at the Money Museum, also securely secured behind bulletproof glass. It's worth it. no matter how much it is a single-family house 700 00,000 anyone can touch it lifting it is more difficult because it is very heavy 12 and a 12 kilo gold is extremely dense think of it this way a gold bar of this size weighs more than a box full of bottled water 12 bottles of one liter each, very few people can lift a gold bar until 2015, most of Germany's gold reserves were stored abroad, then the Bundisbuunk brought almost 700 tons from New York and Paris to Germany, all It was top secret and handled at the highest level.

Safety level No bars were lost on the route and all are genuine. There are several testing methods. The most common is the ultrasound method, which is usually applied first. Density is a relatively good indicator. Is it a real gold bar? Do we have pure gold here? With the procedures available at Bundis Buunk, we can guarantee that all gold bars are genuine. Each individual ingot reveals its own story. On the one hand, you can see who the manufacturer is, in this case, Deusa, then there is the purity of the gold. The year of manufacture of this gold bar is 1956, which means that it was one of the first gold bars that the Bundesbank at that time, with more than 3,000 tons.

Germany has the second largest gold reserves in the world after the US. Some of the German inventory is still stored in New York. New York is also the largest trading center for precious metals. Traders from all over the world buy and sell in the Manhattan comx The cumulative amount of gold mined throughout history is actually a surprisingly small just over 200,000 tonnes, if it were all formed into a cube each edge would measure about 22m long. Such a cube would easily fit into an intersection in New York's financial district. Gold does not generate interest or dividends and the safe to store it costs money and yet, for many it remains the anchor of security, especially in times of crisis, for both banks and individuals.

The Germans own around 9,000 tons of gold in coins, jewelry and bars. It is a good idea to own a small amount of gold as a reserve for bad times. It makes a lot of sense even if you have other assets like property, maybe a capital fund, life insurance, gold has its own characteristics and I think it is incredibly reassuring to have a part of your assets in gold in total. Kevin and Robin have found a total of approximately 30 grams. for gold on all his expeditions in Germany combined Kevin would like to go to Australia and pan for gold on a large scale, but first try diving in Theia, it's quite cold, the water is 12 C.

I'm going to step out of my comfort zone. at least he can last a while in his wetsuit Kevin has a suction bottle ready again to collect gold flakes immediately the large stones in the stream with the water between them look like another box of natural stone, something called Gold Placer. Deposits may have accumulated in the depression behind it. Kevin now needs a tool. He uses the scraper to dig deeper into the cracks in the rock. visible with a very trained eye oh, I caught a really nice piece. I can only see half of it from here a lot of water in the bottle a little sand the gold is barely visible we will see that later in the pen so far only Kevin has something I have an idea how big the room really is, but it looks like a success story amazing, the last few days have already been worth it, just for this moment, yes, come, let's do a cleanup and then we'll take a look at what's there where Kevin has been lying. the water for an hour even in her wetsuit is cold now when you see it in the pan you will no longer be cold this is a very nice piece yes, it is beautiful the hallway is more clearly visible in the pan oh yes, you found yourself same a really nice piece impressive much better than yesterday take off the glove before it gets stuck here's a few more here it's a very nice piece I'd like to continue that's amazing it's already cold okay, let's suck it all up with little shiny gold flakes Okay worth maybe 3 or 4 and yet the 3 days have been worth it, say Kevin and Robin, finally the barbecue is on, relaxation after a tiring but enjoyable weekend, because once they brought something from their collection With them, it is becoming a good collection. we don't have everything here but this is a big part, everything is meticulously organized by location and year and there are stories and memories attached to each gold tube that was also a big hole 2021 I remember how we sat there and washing took forever this is this gold here is from North Ry W faia you can see that these flakes have traveled a long distance along the river because they are rounded.

I am fascinated by their appearance because of how far they have traveled in the river there are all kinds of shapes gold in the shape of letters and numbers we find a little six or nine here it is fun to look at it not all gold is the same natural gold differs in appearance depending on Where it is located Just by looking at the shape and color you can immediately tell where the gold comes from, from which region of Germany beautiful rings could be made just from the contents of this bank. Unthinkable to Kevin and Robin they value their gold according to a different standard.

It is priceless for us, we work. several hundred hours for this collection there is perhaps €1,000 in the bag twice as much as for a collector gold awakens desire and longing a symbol of beauty and luxury it is an investment and inspires greed gold means many things and has many good and bad repercussions It is a treasure that the Earth does not easily abandon, ancient and imperishable gold is the magical metal.
