Seven-eighths. Really? Yeah. Damn. If you hold it one way, it looks like a whale. You flip it over, it looks like a dolphin.
Well, because it looks like something. It's called character. Oh. So if you have a nugget that looks like a whale or a dolphin, it generally goes for four or five times world market. Really? So if gold is $3,000 an ounce, that would be $12,000 to $15,000 for that character that you're buying. If you find a nugget that looks like a heart, no limit. Really?
Bunch of suckers out there. What about one that looks like a demon? That's big money. If you find one that looks like a pile of dog shit, you're going to get spot market.
But every little nugget has some kind of, or bigger nugget has some kind of character that you keep looking for. Like, what's this look like?
Not really.
I've been gold mining, and I knew how to do it. I wasn't worth a shit, but I'm getting better at it.
De Beers. But you bring up an interesting point. The history of gold mining. Yeah. People don't even know how entrenched in our everyday lingo gold mining terms are. I'll give you an example.

You can't tell the difference between shit and shinola. I thought it was like poop versus shoe polish. Shinola is gold. Isn't shinola shoe polish? I don't know. I never had a pair of shoes that had shinola.
Jamie, don't turn it on.
But after today, now you know it's gold.
Probably. I mean, it's those kind of things that are in our language, like pay dirt.
You hit gold in the dirt. The way I've heard shit in Shinola was shits, shits, shits. Bedrock Schist. Sorry. Oh, I see. Schist and Shinola.
My goal is found in Schist.
I ain't never seen a shoe with shoe polish.
I actually had to wear them in high school. My parents put me in a reform school.
I saw you dressed up here recently.
You look pretty sharp, and I saw what you were wearing.
You look pretty good.
Yeah, it's hard for me. I shop at the same place Fetterman shops.
Yeah, I kind of like the guy.
