BTW, its a hobby thing for some people today, you might find it interesting to try. You can buy materials such as obsidian from specialty suppliers to make incredibly sharp knives and cutting implements and high quality pieces of flint to make flints for your blunderbuss or musket. The way the world is going, it might be a good skill for the younger among us to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all the silver and gold and articles of bronze and iron are holy to the Lord; they shall go into the treasury of the Lord.” Shalom, BeyondET. A clarification is in order: Gold is holy (set apart for God) only WHEN God sets it apart! And, He sometimes does NOT! Remember the golden calf Aharown (Aaron) made? What happened to its gold? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartono said: Thats not about the earliest gold in Eden in Genesis 2. It wasn't taught to man that there was a tree of knowledge in the garden, before man was placed in it. Adam knew of gold prior to entering the garden. The location of the deposits were mentioned by God before Adam knew of any evil, the gold was good. Then God placed man in the garden to cultivate it, instead of searching for gold. Cultivating the fields of the garden that had no shrubs or plants.

Evidence of placer mining would be harder to uncover. Egyptians were apparently recovering gold, silver and copper as early as 3700BC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Value is determined by the worth people place on it, not by printed money. Ancient civilizations placed values on various things from salt and spices to certain stones, to silver and gold.

There was no inflation and you cannot orchestrate financial turmoil like Soros did in South East Asia 1998, he made big money and most bloody turmoil in this nation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
