But there's more things that can go wrong than right and someone's health or when life ain't worth a bit of gold. My real tip is if your serious I get up at 4am and do my work very...

    Selling gold - how, why, where

    It don't work like that!!! Remember 100 a gram spot is based on 99.99 pure bullion , that ain't what u have. U have impure gold nuggets by time you refine you will lose at least 10 to 12 percent.... so many people dint take this into account... you'll be lucky to get more than 80 to 85 per...

    Today's best Lollie off the patch down deep!

    Yes with the 7000 the 6000 got it also but only JUST it sounded ground noisy with 6000 but no doubt at all with the 7000 In my humble opinion it's like this with the 6 vs the 7 The 6000 will make sub gram nuggets sound like they are ounce pieces LOL 😆 clearer than the 7000 but the 7000 will...
