Worth $140,000

It's a privilege to know a director of Hoover & Strong. One of my buddies from my Metal Jewelry class, Stewart,is one. Last Tuesday was our last class, and we had the pleasure of getting a grand tour of the whole factory. It was A-W-E-S-O-M-E.

I would never imagined gold and platinum could be that heavy. I held fifty thousand dollars worth of gold and one hundred and forty thousand dollars worth of platinum in my tiny hands. Yellow gold, white gold, pink, green, they were everywhere!

Of course they have a metal detector and a totally tight-assed security guard guarding the entrance to the building. That guy was taking his job way-way-way too seriously. So think twice before slipping some precious metal in your pocket. He'll have your ass spanked in an instant!
