Hey this wasn't a question concerning how I decide to use my gold that was found by me, but rather will it work for this application. If I had to use it in self defense to save my life, it then has earned a value greater than any precious metal could represent.
Regarding the conversation piece, I have company ove to my home anf often times it is others with a simular interest in guns and ammo. who would get a kick out of something like this.
And regarding the value of my own finds, it is only gold and only worth money. I place a value on monetary items that has a very different regard than what most might have for it. There is no amount of gold or other riches that will buy me salvation, therefore the quality of my life is not guaged
by a monetary value.
