Gold Discovered in Joliet!! Time to dig up the backyard? Gold? Discovered in Joliet? Wow? Maybe there is gold buried in your backyard. Did you ever think of that? Your $20 BBQ grill may be sitting on a fortune. Perhaps you should move the grill and dig a hole. But don t do it until fall. I mean, you wouldn t want to interfere with grilling season. You can eat hot dogs and hamburgers. You can t eat gold. Now that gold has been discovered in Joliet, what can we expect? Thousands, maybe millions, of prospectors coming to town? In the 1848 California gold rush, 300,000 people went to that state looking for gold. If 300,000 people come to Joliet, thats going to be a lot of people. I sure hope that the state gets all of the bridges over the Des Plaines River fixed. I mean, it's been bad enough for the last couple of years with all of the detours. Think about how bad it would be with 300,000 more people in town and a bridge not working. But how can you find gold? Well, gold nuggets are sometimes found in stream beds. Thats what started the California gold rush in the 1800s. So, if you have a stream running through your yard, thats a good place to start. But, if you don t, the more common way is to dig a hole in the ground and hope that you find a vein of gold. That's what they do on television. But, most likely, you ll end up with a yard full of holes and no gold. So, where was gold discovered in Joliet? At the First Secure Community Bank of Joliet. We will be selling US Mint produced American Eagle 1 oz. and 1/4 oz, gold coins for the next few Saturday mornings. Some say that gold is the ultimate hedge against inflation. The nation's biggest capitalist at the time, J. P. Morgan, said Gold is money, everything else is cred- it. Commie Karl Marx said Although Gold and Silver are not by nature money, money is by nature gold and silver. Now, if J. P. Morgan and Karl Marx agree on something, its understandable that some people will want to own that something. If you are one of those people, come and see us.
