There Goes Gold!

Well, physical gold is already selling for $1440, so a decent batch of nuggets should fetch at least that!

For most of us (yeh, not all), we can live with $400/tr-oz gold or $2000/tr-oz gold and not be concerned about what's paying for the next meal.

On rereading my own post I realize that was both inaccurate and insensitive.  There are quite a few people who stand to gain from higher gold prices, such as metal detector dealers and metal detecting and gold panning tour guides and camps.  Even authors can get a big influx of book buyers when increasing gold prices are in the news.

I don't know the stats for this site, but in my experience, for every poster there can be several silent members and guests.  It seems many posters fit into the recreational miner / supplemental income group as contrasted to those who make a living from mining, but it wouldn't surprise me if pros monitor the site.  For them, the difference between $1400/tr.oz and $1000/tr.oz can be the difference between working and collecting unemployment.
