Found in Hamadan (ancient Ecbatana), this 892-gram solid gold vessel was constructed from multiple hammered sheets joined by microscopic chemical soldering. Look at the wings: two hollow gold plates soldered edge-to-edge, etched with five precise rows of individual feathers—all assembled without leaving a single raised seam or burn mark.

We are happy to announce that Graziano Visintin was awarded a Special Mention at the LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize 2026 for the piece ‘Collier’. Frida Escobedo presented the prize at a ceremony in Singapore. The two necklaces are composed of tiny cubes built from thin sheets of gold and decorated with niello; an ancient metalworking technique. The jury were impressed by Visintin’s skilled and unusual use of niello to create a contemporary piece of jewellery, and admired the painterly way in which he applied the niello to the gold, creating an effect of endless miniature paintings elegantly strung together. The works by all 30 finalists are on view at the National Gallery Singapore until 14 June 2026. Find out more: #LOEWE

Most people in Britain carry DNA that traces back over four thousand years.🇬🇧⌛️ Before the Romans. Before the Anglo-Saxons. Before the Vikings. Your ancestors were already here. And scientists just proved what they built. In 1999, two men pulled something from a German hilltop. The oldest map of the night sky ever found. Anywhere. The Nebra Sky Disc. 3,600 years old. Found in Germany. But scientists traced the gold. Atom by atom. It came from Cornwall. The tin? Also Cornwall. Your ancestors mined it from this ground. It travelled 4,000km. Across the sea, through Europe, to the Mediterranean. Without tin, you cannot make bronze. No tools. No weapons. No civilisation as we know it. Egypt. Greece. None of them could function without what came from these islands. Near Stonehenge, they found a chieftain with a gold lozenge on his chest and a dagger with 140,000 gold studs. Each thinner than a human hair. They tested the gold. Cornwall. Again. Stonehenge was 500 years old when the first pyramid was built. They taught you these islands were at the edge of the world. They were at the centre of it. The miners. The traders. The builders. They never left. Their DNA is still here. In you. Be proud of that. They taught you Rome brought civilisation to Britain. They didn't teach you Britain supplied the metal that built it. We will. Be part of us. 🫡 Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

GOLD MINE MADE UNVIABLE BY RED & GREEN TAPE Yesterday John Ruddick (Libertarian in the NSW state Parliament) and I travelled to the Central West of NSW to visit the site of the now cancelled McPhillamy’s Gold Project. After the company had spent $300 million complying with all the bureaucratic red and green tape, the project was destroyed at last minute by Tanya Plibersek. And it’s not just a billion hit to the economy, it’s set a shocking precedent that will scare off investors - who is going to invest hundreds of millions in bureaucratic regulations when the Government can pull the rug from underneath you at the last minute ? And why is Peter Dutton out campaigning at the site of this proposed gold project destroyed by Labor ? NB: The Libertarian Party have not received one cent from the company trying to develop this gold mine - or anyone associated with them. 🟡At this election - Vote 1 LIBERTARIAN

A Filipino geologist filed gold flakes off his own wedding ring, convinced the world he found the largest gold deposit in history, and built a $6 BILLION company out of jungle dirt. There was no gold. Nobody went to prison. – Michael de Guzman was hired to test a jungle site in Borneo that twelve mining companies had already abandoned as worthless. – He filed gold flakes off his own wedding ring and mixed them into the crushed rock samples before sending them to the lab. – When results kept coming back positive he spent $61,000 buying gold from local river panners and added it to samples in precise quantities to avoid raising suspicion. – Bre-X went from a 30 cent penny stock to $286 per share. Lehman Brothers called it the gold discovery of the century. – The Ontario Teachers Pension Plan invested and lost $100 MILLION. The Quebec public pension fund lost $70 MILLION. Mutual funds across North America piled in. – Freeport-McMoRan, one of the largest mining companies on earth, was brought in to verify the site. They drilled one metre away from every hole Bre-X had drilled. – They found nothing. Insignificant amounts of gold across every single test. – On March 19 1997 de Guzman boarded a helicopter to meet Freeport executives. The pilot was a former Indonesian military officer who did not normally fly the route. – Twenty minutes into the flight the rear door opened. He fell 265 metres into the jungle below. – His body was recovered four days later. Decomposed. Missing its hands and feet. Evidence of strangulation on the neck. Cremated immediately without DNA testing. – The stock crashed 80 percent in a single day. $6 BILLION wiped out and 40,000 investors lost everything. – Nobody was ever criminally convicted. – One of his five wives received a $25,000 wire transfer from a Citibank branch in Brazil years after his funeral. The fax was written in handwriting she recognised as his. – Sightings of him alive were reported in the Philippines and South America for years afterwards. The biggest gold fraud in history was built with a wedding ring and $61,000 in river gold. The body that fell from the helicopter was cremated before DNA testing could confirm who it was.

Gujarat | During the search conducted on IndiGo Flight No. 6E-1478 arriving from Dubai at SVPI Airport, Ahmedabad on 12.06.2026, Customs officials, with the help of Aircraft Engineers, seized two pouches wrapped in black plastic tape inside the speaker box located in the front lavatory of the aircraft. After search, 24 foreign origin gold biscuits of 999.0 purity (24 Carat) weighing a total weight of 2,799.3 grams were found in the hidden pouches. The local market value of this gold was Rs 4,26,89,325. The manner of concealment indicates that the gold was concealed by an unknown person with the intention of smuggling it into India in violation of the provisions of the Customs Act, 1962. As no person came forward to claim the legal ownership of the seized gold, it was seized as unclaimed under the relevant provisions of the Customs Act, 1962. (Videos: Customs, Ahmedabad)

*THREE SUSPECTED GOLD SMUGGLERS ARRESTED BY GOLDBOD SECURITY TASKFORCE, REMANDED INTO CUSTODY BY CIRCUIT COURT* 29th April, 2025 Three (3) suspected gold smugglers have been arrested by the GoldBod security taskforce. The three suspects — Goutam Katriya, 35, Miraj Sarvaych, 22, Manash Damani, 42, are Indian nationals who are in the business of trading gold in Kumasi and Accra for Unique MM, a company allegedly owned by one Musah Salifu. The suspects were arrested at their private residence around Atinga Junction in Kumasi, which has been converted into a gold trading center. The arrest was based on a tip off from a patriotic whistle blower that the suspects were purchasing gold at “black market” rate for the purpose of smuggling. The suspects were arraigned before the Achimota Circuit court yesterday and remanded into custody for a period of two (2) weeks. At a press conference in Accra, the Director of Investigations at National Security, Chief Superintendent Osman Alhassan, disclosed that an amount of 1.9 million cedis, 4,500 rupees, 4.363 kilograms of gold, two counting machines, a CCTV recorder and an Indian passport were found in the possession of the suspects. Preliminary investigations by National Security so far revealed, that none of the three suspects possess a valid license that allows them to purchase or deal in gold in the country. The suspects who been dealing in gold in Ghana for over a decade, have not been able to adduce any residence permit or work permit or tax payment records on their business operations. Additionally, it’s been revealed that Musah Salifu, a Ghanaian, who is alleged to be the sole shareholder of the Unique MM, is only a front for Goutam Katriya, the real beneficial owner and alter ego of the company. Chief Superintendent Osman Alhassan cautioned both Ghanaians and foreign nationals against violating the provisions of the Ghana Gold Board Act and other laws governing the gold trading sector of the country. “This arrest is only the beginning of GoldBod’s ruthless war against illegal gold trading and gold smuggling. We know that the arrested suspects smuggle gold through unapproved border points into India. This has serious negative consequences for the Ghanaian economy. We are still gathering intelligence on several illegal gold traders and smugglers. And very soon, we shall take necessary action.” he said. The suspects are to remain in NIB custody until May 12, 2025, when they are expected to reappear before the court. In a related matter, the GoldBod has reiterated its directive for all foreigners in the gold trading sector to exit the market by 30th April, 2025. All persons dealing in gold have also been directed to trade in Ghana cedis and at the Bank of Ghana Reference Rate. A breach of these directive, shall constitute a punishable offense under the GoldBod Act, 2025 (ACT 1140). This was contained in a Press Release issued by the GoldBod dated 23 April, 2025.

This couple bought an old dresser from the thrift store… and while they were taking it apart, they found something wild tucked inside the side rail that holds the drawer in place. A wad of rolled-up bills were just tucked away — mostly fifties, and a single $100 — and by the time it was all counted, there was $600 just sitting there waiting to be found. They even found a little gold coin tucked away too — it may or may not be real gold, but wouldn’t it be cool if it was! It's always so fun when you find something that you weren't expecting. What’s the coolest unexpected find you’ve ever come across in something secondhand?

🚨 THIS IS NOT NORMAL Look at what China has quietly done: U.S. TREASURIES: 28.2% → 6.8% GOLD: 1,054t → 2,387t And China has now bought gold for 22 consecutive months. Now ask yourself one question: WHY IS ALL OF THIS HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME? And buying gold was only step one. Now China is adding the vaults, clearing, settlement, yuan contracts and payment rails around it: - Hong Kong launched a government-backed gold clearing system linked directly to the Shanghai Gold Exchange. - It is expanding gold storage beyond 2,000 tonnes and exploring physically settled RMB gold futures That is what changes the entire equation. China does NOT need the yuan to replace the dollar. It only needs to make the dollar LESS NECESSARY. Because if another country gets paid in yuan, there has always been one obvious problem: What does it do with the yuan afterward? China is increasingly building another answer: TURN IT INTO GOLD. 1) Trade with China in yuan. 2) Settle without the dollar. 3) Move the proceeds into physical gold. 4) Store and clear that gold through Chinese-linked infrastructure. And if more countries start using the same rails, this stops being a story about the price of gold. It becomes a story about the dollar being needed for fewer transactions. Save this tweet. When the monetary system looks different five years from now, people will look back at these two charts and wonder how they missed what was happening in plain sight. Remember, I’ve been trading markets for over 15 years. I follow what central banks, governments and the biggest institutions are doing in real time, and when I see something important developing, I’ll post it here publicly like I always do. Turn notifications on. If you’re not following yet, you’ll understand why that was a mistake later.

Physical Gold → Equities Rebalancing Executed! Credit Cards → Gold → Cash → Mutual Funds Sold all my Vedhani Collection from P.N.Gadgil of 231.5 gms 995 gold to Kalyan Jewellers, who bought it at a 3% deduction from the day's rate. I accumulated this gold over several years, and my average purchase price was around ₹10,000/gm, while I sold it at approximately ₹15,000/gm. All gold was bought at discount from various platforms. (Capital gains tax applies based on the respective purchase dates.) On top of the appreciation, the credit card points valued about 15% conservatively on the buying price earned while buying the gold have funded my travels over the last many years and should comfortably fund another year(s) or so of travel. Post melting, the purity came to around 99.4%. (Kalyan may not buy back at just a 3% deduction if this happens, so it's advisable to carry some 999-purity gold along for melting when selling, helping keep the overall purity above 99.5%.) Interestingly, the final weight was marginally higher. The sale proceeds were credited to my bank account the next day after the 3% deduction. I then invested the proceeds into the UTI Nifty 50 Index Fund. I have already held this fund for more than five years, so this was simply a top-up. (It does have a slightly higher expense ratio than some other index funds but the tracking error is lower) Why a domestic index fund? For the last two-plus years, I've been allocating most of my investments to gold. While gold has delivered spectacular returns during this period, the Nifty 50 has generated almost no returns over the same timeframe. I felt this was a good opportunity to buy into equities at roughly two year old price levels and rebalance my portfolio. (PS: I already hold ~20% of my portfolio in an US index since several years) PS: Bought some of the gold back today already at a lower rate than I sold it at as there were some great deals.

Biggest story of the day: Senator Rand Paul is calling for an audit on Fort Knox to ensure the 4,580 tons US gold is still there Here’s what you were NEVER TOLD about the gold at Fort Knox America’s Wealth, The largest fortune in the history of the world, was stolen. The Fort Knox Gold Robbery: An article was written connecting Rockefeller Family and The Federal Reserve 3 days later the source was thrown out of a window to her death “So just how did the story of the Fort Knox gold robbery get out? It all started with an article in a New York periodical in 1974. The article charged that the Rockefeller family was manipulating the federal reserve to sell off Fort Knox Gold at bargain basement prices to anonymous European speculators. 3 days later, the anonymous source of the story, Louise Auchincloss Boyer, mysteriously fell to her death from the window of her 10th floor apartment in New York. How would missus Boyer have known of the Rockefeller connection to the Fort Knox Gold Heist? She was the long time secretary of Nelson Rockefeller. For the next 14 years, this man, Ed Durell, a wealthy Ohio industrialist, devoted himself to a quest for the truth concerning the Fort Knox gold. He wrote thousands of letters to over 1,000 government and banking officials trying to find out how much gold was really left and where the rest of it had gone. Edith Roosevelt, the granddaughter of president Teddy Roosevelt, questioned the actions of the government in a March 1975 edition of the New Hampshire Sunday news. — Unfortunately, Ed Durell never did accomplish his primary goal, a full audit of the gold reserves in Fort Knox. It's incredible that the world's greatest treasure has had little accounting or auditing. This goal belonged to the American people, not the Federal Reserve and their foreign owners. One thing is certain, the government could blow all of this speculation away in a few days with a well publicized audit under the searing lights of media cameras. It has chosen not to do so. One must conclude that they are afraid of the truth such an audit would reveal. What is the government so afraid of? Here's the answer: When president Ronald Reagan took office in 1981, his conservative friends urged him to study the feasibility of returning to a gold standard as the only way to curb government spending. It sounded like a reasonable alternative, so President Reagan appointed a group of men called the Gold Commission to study the situation and report back to Congress. What Reagan's Gold Commission reported back to Congress in 1982 was the following shocking revelation concerning gold. The US Treasury owned no gold at all. All the gold that was left in Fort Knox was now owned by the Federal Reserve, a group of private bankers, as collateral against the national debt. The truth of the matter is that never before has so much money been stolen from the hands of the general public and put into the hands of a small group of private investors, the money changers”

Biggest story of the day: Senator Rand Paul is calling for an audit on Fort Knox to ensure the 4,580 tons US gold is still there Here’s what you were NEVER TOLD about the gold at Fort Knox America’s Wealth, The largest fortune in the history of the world, was stolen. The Fort Knox Gold Robbery: An article was written connecting Rockefeller Family and The Federal Reserve 3 days later the source was thrown out of a window to her death “So just how did the story of the Fort Knox gold robbery get out? It all started with an article in a New York periodical in 1974. The article charged that the Rockefeller family was manipulating the federal reserve to sell off Fort Knox Gold at bargain basement prices to anonymous European speculators. 3 days later, the anonymous source of the story, Louise Auchincloss Boyer, mysteriously fell to her death from the window of her 10th floor apartment in New York. How would missus Boyer have known of the Rockefeller connection to the Fort Knox Gold Heist? She was the long time secretary of Nelson Rockefeller. For the next 14 years, this man, Ed Durell, a wealthy Ohio industrialist, devoted himself to a quest for the truth concerning the Fort Knox gold. He wrote thousands of letters to over 1,000 government and banking officials trying to find out how much gold was really left and where the rest of it had gone. Edith Roosevelt, the granddaughter of president Teddy Roosevelt, questioned the actions of the government in a March 1975 edition of the New Hampshire Sunday news. — Unfortunately, Ed Durell never did accomplish his primary goal, a full audit of the gold reserves in Fort Knox. It's incredible that the world's greatest treasure has had little accounting or auditing. This goal belonged to the American people, not the Federal Reserve and their foreign owners. One thing is certain, the government could blow all of this speculation away in a few days with a well publicized audit under the searing lights of media cameras. It has chosen not to do so. One must conclude that they are afraid of the truth such an audit would reveal. What is the government so afraid of? Here's the answer: When president Ronald Reagan took office in 1981, his conservative friends urged him to study the feasibility of returning to a gold standard as the only way to curb government spending. It sounded like a reasonable alternative, so President Reagan appointed a group of men called the Gold Commission to study the situation and report back to Congress. What Reagan's Gold Commission reported back to Congress in 1982 was the following shocking revelation concerning gold. The US Treasury owned no gold at all. All the gold that was left in Fort Knox was now owned by the Federal Reserve, a group of private bankers, as collateral against the national debt. The truth of the matter is that never before has so much money been stolen from the hands of the general public and put into the hands of a small group of private investors, the money changers”

#WATCH | At the inauguration ceremony of 'Seva Saptah' in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami says, "How swiftly the wheel of time turns becomes evident to me today as I stand before all of you here. In the blink of an eye, five years of our government's tenure have been completed. People ask me, how does it feel to have completed five years? Today, from this platform, I want to say that in these five years, I have never tried to count even a single day, month, or years... When I was entrusted with the responsibility as the 'mukhya sevak' of the state, there was only one resolve in my mind: that the faith placed in me by Lord Badrinath, Baba Kedar, the divine people of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand akin to deities, and our Prime Minister and leadership, in handing over this responsibility, must be fulfilled by me without stopping, without tiring, with complete devotion, through continuous work..."

Silver's squeeze is being driven by gold which in turn is being driven by the dollar. No, not "debasement" or "inflation." Eurodollar deflation. People make the critical mistake believing gold is a substitute for the dollar when it's not even in the same arena. Precious metals instead compete with stocks and other risky financial assets as the safe haven alternative to them. Ledger money separated medium of exchange from store of value 150 years ago (not that you've heard anything about it, but you live it every day each time you use your credit card - medium - and check your 401k - store). Gold is not a medium, but it is superior form of value. Gold's behavior therefore has nothing to do with "the dollar" except when eurodollar conditions drive the exchange value and signal conditions relative to stores of value alternatives. This is why gold has behaved like it has and why all the gold "experts" get it wrong. When the dollar is rising, that's a deflation signal which means increasing chance conditions will be bad for risky stores of value. Gold shines. And that is exactly how it has traded recently, too, from late last year through April, the middle of the year when gold backed off because risk-taking was back at the forefront, and now with flat Beveridge everywhere and credit cockroaches showing up every other minute gold is utterly flying. That deflation would be really bad for risky assets that gold competes with. IT IS NOT DEBASEMENT OR ANYTHING LIKE IT. All the evidence is here: Everything you get from the mainstream is either wrong or backward. Oftentimes on purpose. Misdirection and misinformation is actually the trade of "central banks." Start unlearning the garbage and start learning the truth which has been hiding in plain sight all this time.

🇬🇧 A Norfolk farmer's plough caught something in a field in 1948. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 It turned out to be the largest collection of Iron Age gold ever found anywhere in the world. 🪙⌛️ Made by British smiths whose craft no one has been able to copy. 🇬🇧 Snettisham is a quiet village on the Norfolk coast. Its fields look like any field in eastern England. But in 1948 a Norfolk farmer hit something with his plough. He thought it was bedstead metal. It wasn't. Over the next 40 years, archaeologists returned to that field again and again. They found 11 hoards in one field. More than 175 complete torcs. And hundreds more fragments. The largest collection of Iron Age gold ever found. Anywhere in the world. And one piece stood above all the others. 🏛️ The Snettisham Great Torc. A neck ring, one kilogram of gold and silver alloy. Twisted from 60 individual strands of wire, each made by hand. The trumpet terminals at each end were cast in one piece. With pattern detail no modern goldsmith has fully reproduced. The casting technique used has not been replicated. 2,000 years on, the craft still holds its secret. The torc was made by an Iron Age British smith. Probably for the Iceni. The tribe that later rose with Boudica. Their goldsmiths were among the most skilled in Europe. And the gold they worked was British gold. Worked on British forges by British hands. Around 75 BC, someone buried the hoards together. A sacred deposit, or a treasury, or both. The earth held it for 2,000 years. And then a Norfolk farmer's plough lifted it back into the light. The smiths who made these torcs became Britons. Their descendants became the British. And the British still work metal at the top of the world. Norfolk still ploughs the field where it began. 🇬🇧 Britain has been working gold for 2,000 years. The craft is still in the hands. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Right now, somewhere in Britain, a silversmith is at the bench. The hands have never stopped. Our work is made in Britain, for Britain. Inspire the next British craftsman.👇🙏 👉 👈 Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dancing “Cheek to Cheek” in Top Hat (1935). For this “Cheek to Cheek” number, Ginger Rogers wanted to wear an elaborate blue dress heavily decked out with ostrich feathers. When director Mark Sandrich and Fred Astaire saw the dress, they knew it would be impractical for the dance. Sandrich suggested that Rogers wear the white gown she had worn performing “Night and Day” in The Gay Divorcee (1934). Rogers walked off the set, finally returning when Sandrich agreed to let her wear the offending blue dress. As there was no time for rehearsals, Ginger Rogers wore the blue feathered dress for the first time during filming, and as Astaire and Sandrich had feared, feathers started coming off the dress. Astaire later claimed it was like “a chicken being attacked by a coyote”. In the final film, some stray feathers can be seen drifting off it. To patch up the rift between them, Astaire presented Rogers with a locket of a gold feather. This was the origin of Rogers' nickname “Feathers”. The shedding feathers episode was recreated to hilarious results in a scene from Easter Parade (1948) in which Fred Astaire danced with a clumsy, comical dancer played by Judy Garland. “Cheek to Cheek” was nominated for the Best Song Academy Award for 1936, which it lost to “Lullaby of Broadway”. The song spent five weeks at #1 on Your Hit Parade and was named the #1 song of 1935. Astaire's 1935 recording with the Leo Reisman Orchestra was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2000. In 2004, Astaire's version finished at No. 15 on AFI's 100 Years ... 100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema.

Darius Robinson was pretty much a non-factor, not only in the preseason game but also throughout the first two seasons of his #Cardinals career. There were a few snaps where the Raiders had WRs assigned to block D-Rob, and they had no issues doing so. On the Raiders’ big run, D-Rob was put on his ass by 2025 3rd-round pick Charles Grant out of William & Mary, who is a backup tackle for the Raiders. If he wasn’t drafted #27 overall, he probably would’ve been cut based on the body of work he has put on tape. This is a make-or-break year for D-Rob. He was a 5-year college player who broke out in his final season after moving from the interior to the edge. His best reps at the Senior Bowl also came on the edge. I don’t think it’s going to work inside. I’d like to see him moved back to the edge. With the current edge rotation, is there really any downside to trying it? All of his snaps from the Raiders preseason game below. #RiseUpRedSea #AZCardinals
