Great timing!

Silver up in the last 24 hours by 4.25 %

I suspect more folks are cashing out their BTC in favor of precious metals, before BTC goes to $0.

Come out to Colorado. We have lost silver mines, gold mines and even a lost tungsten mine.

You think BTC is going to $0 this year?

I don’t know when or how. I just know that it’s going to $0. It has to, as the FED is being taken down, and gold-backed NESARA takes its place.

BTC is deep state CIA money.

Speculating on how, perhaps it will just trickle lower and lower slowly... then, a sharp shutoff, as servers shut down and transactions no longer work.

If you have BTC, that doesn’t mean there isn’t money to be made on last-minute ups/downs. But, be ready for the rug to be pulled out. It’s is not a long-term investment by any means.

When I moved to the Ozarks in the early 70s I was told of a lost mine. Something along the lines that a hunter would find it rather than a fisherman (or was it the other way round?)

One can find stories in the Ozarks. That’s for sure.

I’ve looked for a few of the lost mines/treasures. There are darn good reasons they are lost.

The Lost Dutchman’s mine is waiting to be found out there in Arizona’s Superstition Mountains.

There were lead mines all over the Ozarks. The last one was shutdown by The Great ObamaNation’s EPA. Now we have to get our lead from Communist China.

I know where they should look.

Start in the Southeast Missouri Lead District.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Missouri_Lead_District

It contains the highest concentration of galena (lead(II) sulfide) in the world as well as significant economic quantities of silver. Galena is lead ore bound up with silver ore. Importantly, then you need to search for hot underground water.

Acanthite, room temperature silver ore, can look anywhere from amorphous to crystalline, ugly to quite attractive.

Importantly, Spain had any number of slave labor silver mines in northern Mexico, some of which had amazing, if primitive technologies. They had very little iron and steel, so made do with wood and leather, except for hand tools. Yet the amount of silver they produced made Spain very wealthy and militarily dominant in Europe for quite a while.

So at the time, if you wanted to find a profitable silver deposit, you needed a Spanish prospector.

Mexico still has a very large lead mining operation near the city of Torreon. Most of the lead used in car lead-acid batteries in North America comes from there.

I’ve heard of a diamond mine down near Murfreesboro Arkansas.

I remember seeing something in my genealogical research about Stephen F. Austin’s travels (or his father) in MO in connection with lead mines.

They better watch out for MoMo, the Missouri Monster, in their searches for the mine
