O Gold! I still prefer thee unto paper,
\n<\/span><\/i>Which makes bank credit like a bark of vapour<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u2014 Lord Byron, <\/span>Don Juan<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not the first person in Colorado to have visions of gold dancing in my head. Long before the promise of gluten-free cupcakes and mega-hip tech companies, dreamers made their way to Colorado \u2014 before there even was a \u201cColorado\u201d \u2014 to partake of the great Gold Rush of 1858 – 1862 (Colorado wouldn\u2019t become a territory until 1861). The \u201859ers were similar to the more famous \u201849ers who made the trek to California, though they filtered in at a much slower rate, mostly because gold discoveries in Colorado were kept hush-hush for much longer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Literally

Literally, every other rock on our land looks like this.<\/p><\/div>\n

The gold rush, along with a similarly energetic silver rush, coincided with advancements in mining techniques. The proliferation of precious metals is one of the reasons the U.S. Government opted to build the Denver Mint. <\/span><\/p>\n

So it\u2019s not completely unreasonable that I keep my eyes open for a stray nugget while I chip out running and biking trails on our land in the mountains of Boulder. I\u2019m not greedy, a mere 70 lb. chunk would make me happy (at today\u2019s prices, a pure 70 lb. gold nugget would be worth $1,417,584). The bad news, for me at least, is that the majority of Colorado\u2019s gold is placer gold, meaning it\u2019s found in itty-bitty flakes in alluvial fans and streambeds, so I\u2019m more likely to find a gossamer ounce of the stuff panning for gold in Clear Creek than whacking my pick-ax into a hearty chunk. <\/span><\/p>\n

Oh wait, there\u2019s even worse news – as it turns out, gold isn\u2019t just rare on Earth, it\u2019s rare in the universe. Before we get to the somewhat auspicious fact that gold has any value at all, let\u2019s take a look at how amazing it is that gold even exists on the planet. In the past 5 years, some very smart scientists have discovered that gold cannot be formed in the Earth\u2019s core, there simply isn\u2019t enough pressure. So how is there gold on Earth at all?<\/span><\/p>\n

Gold is the byproduct of incredible universal forces, as are the majority of elements on the periodic chart. Even the mighty sun, the star responsible for all life on Earth, the powerhouse that builds hydrogen into helium and other elements is far too puny to produce gold. The best the sun\u2019s nuclear reactor can do is create elements 1 – 26 (up to iron), it just doesn\u2019t have the force to build the heavier elements. It takes some real cosmic muscle to spit out star stuff with more weighty elemental presence \u2014 enter the supernova.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Gold

Gold is born!<\/p><\/div>\n

Supernovas aren\u2019t <\/span>the <\/span><\/i>big bang but let\u2019s not sell this interstellar explosion short. Only roughly 3% of all known stars are massive enough to even consider going supernova and even then, some of that group fizzle out into a much more pedestrian nova. But assuming a star is big enough, at the end of its life when it has burned off the bulk of its fuel (hydrogen) it will collapse into one final, incredible explosion that reacts with such force that elements beyond iron are built up and blown into the universe. In the case of our humble planet, the debris of such a collapse coalesced over millennia and within the melange of elements that would eventually form Earth was pure, native gold. <\/span><\/p>\n

In case you\u2019re wondering, it is possible to create very small amounts of synthetic gold using nuclear reactors or supercolliders, though doing so is currently cost-prohibitive (understatement). If all the known gold on earth was merged into solid chunks, you\u2019d have just enough to fill 3.5 Olympic swimming pools. Geologists speculate the bulk of Earth\u2019s gold is deep in the core, where it will likely remain unreachable in our lifetimes. <\/span><\/p>\n

So, in order to find my 70 lb. gold nugget, I have to count on the collapsed energy of a star spitting out gold, then having the good fortune of that gold maintaining a solid form as the planet formed, somehow finding its way into the crust in Colorado (which is actually fairly likely, thanks to the <\/span>Colorado mineral belt<\/span><\/a>) and is making its way close enough to the surface that I find it in the course of making trails. Also, my gold nugget would be the <\/span>3rd largest ever discovered<\/span><\/a> when <\/span><\/i>I finally get around to uncovering it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Behold,

Behold, a grill of gold!<\/p><\/div>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that gold itself is a relatively useless element. Chemically, it\u2019s inert and anti-social, rarely bonding with other elements. Three things make gold valuable, if not chemically practical:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It\u2019s rare, but not too rare, so it is a suitable material for coins thanks to a low melting point. <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Unlike other elements in its periodic neighborhood, it\u2019s not radioactive, since having money literally kill you isn\u2019t a great idea. <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. It\u2019s shiny. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \"Tell

    Tell me about it.<\/p><\/div>\n

    There are really only three elements that share these criteria, but the other two (silver and copper) are prone to tarnish over time. Add to that, silver is the same generic hue as the bulk of metals. Gold\u2019s yellow luster and its inert nature, which makes it nearly immune to tarnish, make it a valuable material in the most superficial sense. <\/span><\/p>\n

    As of the present date, I\u2019ve found the following treasures on our land:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • One (1) Titleist golf ball<\/span><\/li>\n
    • A depot of old bed springs<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Six (6) rusty iron spikes<\/span><\/li>\n
    • A Dora the Explorer wrapper of some sort<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      So really, I\u2019m due to uncover the nugget, hopefully in the next few weeks. As mentioned above, never having to work another day in my life is only part of my incentive to keep prospecting. The other is I want to truly earn the nickname \u201cGolden Jimmy\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
