Figuring out the total amount of gold that has been produced by man is a little harder. To get at some kind of estimate, let's figure that the world has been producing gold at 50 million ounces a year for 200 years. That number is probably a little high, but when you figure that the Aztecs and the Egyptians produced a fair amount of gold for a long time, it's probably not too far off. Fifty million ounces * 200 years = 10 billion ounces. Ten billion ounces of gold would fit into a cube roughly 25 meters (about 82 feet) on a side. Consider that the Washington Monument measures 55 feet by 55 feet at its base and is 555 feet tall (17 x 17 x 170 m). That means that if you could somehow gather every scrap of gold that man has ever mined into one place, you could only build about one-third of the Washington Monument.

That includes all the gold lost and hid over the years that's not a lot of gold. Plus 65 or 70 % is Yammy gold not much left for the rest of us. Hey GD1950 I am coming down under I know you still got gold there.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Hey! That's a nifty idea. It would be a good way to hide valuables from crooks. By the way GD......can you give us a clue as to where you hid that stuff?  Grin  John in Va

I'd hide treasure in plain sight if it were my stash. You would walk right past it and never know it was there. I can promise you that.

You got a clue........It's in plain sight. Maybe he's got brick columns in front of his house with concrete balls on top?  Idea Grin
