These indicators show the current days market value for 4 precious metals that may be located while prospecting for Gold. The creeks and rivers of Northern California have a few areas where the 49'ers threw out what looked to be a disappointing find of lead buckshot. We now know they were 'disappointed' at finding small Platinum nuggets! Remember what was thrown aside can now be found. Watch that Gold Price! In 2008 it has already been over $920 per ounce and its not done climbing yet. Platinum and other precious metals show the same steep price climb.

Much of this meteoric rise in Gold prices is caused by a decades long combination of shortage in Gold mining capacity and the real devaluation of the dollar. People world wide are now seeking economic refuge in Gold. Historically this has been a sign of trouble for printed currency which is easily inflated by the actions of the economy and world governments. Gold holds a stable value in such turbulent times. Good prospecting!

So "Gold is where you find it!" Or Platinum as the case may be...
