mn90403 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 It seems there is a considerable amount of gold in Wales. Is there any that can be found with a metal detector? https://dailytimes.com.pk/706546/wales-braces-for-new-gold-rush-as-700-million-seam-of-precious-metal-is-discovered-in-snowdonia/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lone wanderer Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 From ancient times Wales was a leading supplier of tin for manufacturing bronze and weapons. Ships loaded with wine and olive oil were went from Constantinople which was then called Byzantium to brink back tin.Lets hope Wales can challenge China and Australia in the production of gold? If the gold is deep underground like in South Africa no detector in the world will pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PimentoUK Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Here's the BBC's version of the story:https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-46179570 Every one of those old-time miners is named Dai ...[humour] It is possible to pan the rivers for gold, but I'm sure it's just flecks, not detectable stuff. But even that can land you in trouble: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/may/10/police-investigate-gold-panning-welsh-river 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
