Hi everyone I grew up in gold country and dabbled in it all my life. I'm retired so I dove in head first.
Only to fail miserably again and again. I even poisoned myself with sulfuric.
However I am not giving up till I have poured a few gold and silver bars for everyone to see lol.
I have lots of questions
