I have found gold - in a bunch of stuff my dad left. He collected gold pieces, and I found them just last week going through some of his old stuff.

I put them in a piggy bank that has "For My Solid Gold Cadillac" on each side. They are pieces of a chain, a lone earring, other rings minus the stones and some gold shavings from coins.

As far as me - my golden years have turned out to be a bit questionable if they're gold or not
