Mar 2013Grayson, GA1 All Types Of Treasure Hunting Storing My Gold?
I have gone to local mines in North Georgia and have panned out a small amount of gold and I noticed they save it in small bottles filled with water. Why water? Is it OK to store in the bottle dry?

Until someone pipes in...I searched the net and found that (don't know if this is true - but if it is on the InterNet - it must be true!
) gold has a tendency to turn a dull color after having been stored in an airtight container for an extended period of time. For this reason, some gold miners and dealers store their gold in water-filled jars, and dry it out just before displaying it or making a sale...

Pure gold will not discolor but virtually every gold item you interact with is an alloy of gold and other metals. Generally those other metals will very slowly oxidize. That could cause a slight dulling or color change I suppose.
Any metallurgists on here to help?

Gold does not tarnish. I have gold with copper alloyed with it and it has a slight orange color. I have some that has some sort of alloy that gives it an brownish color and I have some that is very bright yellow. All my gold is stored dry and it has never changed in color or luster. The only reason for storing gold in viles with water is for magnification to see the gold better. Water, unless it is filtered will cause a slime to form in the bottle and on the gold and make it look nasty.

Honorable Mentions (1)
Class Ring Found & Returned As B H says above, simply cosmetic. The waterfilled bottle makes little gold look like BIG gold. When filling, do so underwater so you will not have those nasty air bubbles, ruining the reason you fill it with water. Lid and vial underwater... screw on cap... no bubbles. TTC

When I was just beyond newbie status, we used to hang at the bridge on re-supply days, drink brewskies and offer small water-filled vials of gold (maybe .50 cents worth) to tourist, daytripper types. They always oohed and awed, and would buy the gold at 5 bucks a pop, sometimes. Stopped doing that as it didn't
seem right.

Considering your labor and todays prices, it was probably a bargain
I was at the GPAA show today, and less than a third of a gram came out to three times spot....

Three times spot, for a gram? In other words...over a hundred dollars? for 1/3 gram? Or am I misunderstanding

It was less than a third of a gram, and 35 a vial. I think spot is about 50 a gram now, so it was a little over twice spot, for powder of course in water....
