Golden Legends Tales of Buried Treasure

There is a legend about a Nazi train filled with treasure being hidden underground in Poland. The tale has been pretty much discredited after many searches. It was supposed to have been covered up inside a tunnel or mine in an area called Central Sudetes. After much investigation the tale has been relegated to legend. The Polish military - during communist occupation and since the fall of the Iron Curtain in democratic Poland- have dug for the reported treasure. After determining that the radar used revealed a geologic formation, the hunt was ended. Meanwhile, news agencies around the world reported the latest 3 year probe. Onboard the train was supposed to be more than 300 t (330 tons) of gold, jewels, weapons, and artistic masterpieces. At the end of World II a heavily armored train was supposed to have entered a system of tunnels built by the Nazis. It went from Wroclaw to Frieburg in Schlesien and then disappeared. It was to have gone next to Waldenburg in Schlesien.  The story...

 Alchemists worked feverishly to convert lead into gold throughout history. Lead, being heavier than most elements and therefore resembling gold in weight, was thought to be a near cousin. If only they could manipulate through heat or alloy to make gold!!! These alchemists referred to this study as chrysopoeia - referring to the transmutation of base metal into precious metal. Some of the most brilliant thinkers of the time tried their hands at it. Sir Isaac Newton, today revered as the father of modern physics and the inventor of calculus, described a recipe for the Philosophers’ Stone, a legendary substance that reputedly could turn base metals like iron and lead into gold. Note that it is the discovery of the relationship of a mathematical function that can determine instantaneous acceleration, or, even the area or volume under a continuous function. Without this, no rocket could have been sent to the moon - the notion of interplanetary travel would also be impossible. So..... t...

The gold spot price is the prevailing price for an ounce of .999 fine gold that is deliverable right now. The spot price does not take into account dealer or distributor markups or markups by the minting or manufacturing company. Most dealer inventory is purchased directly from the mint; those products are priced at the spot price plus a markup for the mint or maker to turn a profit. The dealer then also has to make a profit in order to stay in business. The dealer will take their purchase price, then markup the products further to cover dealer costs and a profit margin. This is why dealers will typically buy from individuals at or below the spot gold price and they will sell above the spot gold price. The spread between their buy and sell prices represents the dealer's gross profit. Block chain may bring better prices for precious metals to the individual purchaser.
