June 15, 1933. a Warning to Bury gold . I'm sure the Smart people did

[jeff of pa]

as For the Certificates ? I Never researched their Legality at the Time .
But the Article reads Like once they Gave ya Gold Certificates for your Gold,
The Certificates May have no Longer been Valid for Cash either ?
win/win for the Thieves like Roosevelt.

Yup, it became illegal to own Gold! Should be a bunch still out there waiting to be found! Thanks Jeff for all the great articles!

not called sheeple for nothing, need to be governed for their own good
tell me again who is free . . . . .

The gold grab of 1933 - was nothing short of federalized robbery. The idea that a govt. by force of law -would require it's citizens to exchange gold for paper is horrifying - antithetical to everything our founding documents proclaimed about Liberty , and Independance ..

Turning this back to the buried caches....

The takeaway of the article should be that there is likely multiple avenues to the hoard researchers! You know the dates people would have been burying their gold. Now you should be able to track down federal reports and paperwork of the targets and the resulting confiscations (more importantly the failures to confiscate). Then you need to cross-check with death records.

Wealthy person.... suspected of hoarding gold... inability to confiscate.... sudden death shortly after which may have left something hidden.

Unfortunately, until God settles this once and for all the people of this country will have to fight DAILY for the freedom we hold, Communism is knocking on the door every day.

 

[BillA]

don't be confused, all governments are the enemy
(of miners ?)

 

[docweiser]

But they don't have to be, imagine a Government that was for the people, by the people, oh yes, that's us.

 

[TheGreenBoy]

The bright side is every Government is always for the people. The down side, however, it's only a small portion of the people.

yep that would be a Nice List to see.

Personally I'd Go out in the Yard, Dig a 3 foot hole & Make an Impression of
a Mason Jar in the Bottom of the Hole.
When they Come around say Sure ! I Have it Buried in the Yard.
Then take them out & Say &^%$ ! Someone robbed Me !

See there is where it was !

Seriously Though, Why would you have Registered Your Gold in the first Place ?

Even today, I would not Purchase Gold from a Place that keeps Records !

If I were Buying & if You have some for sale,
I'll get the Cash, Just Don't ask me my Name !

that's also Smart to Prevent Burglars from Knowing
your a Buyer. or Hoarder

If you trust banks today and think the dollar won't lose value you are a fool. Any extra money should be spent on silver/gold and buried out back so nothing can happen to it. Last year I bought 12 oz of gold maples for my mom as an investment. Today even though gold is down it still worth $3,200 more than what I paid for it. Try getting that kind of interest from a bank or other investment. Smart people have always buried their money to keep it away from the guberment.

I agree with you, but, not everybody was stupid to turn their gold coins in.

Wondering if you work for Apmex? Those that bought in 2011 are down. Down over 30% for 8 years now...currently down 20%. Terrible investment.

Maybe I have a romanticized view of the past but I would like to think that anyone with a significant amount of the stuff coupled with an equal amount of sense would not turn it in.

Then again if you understand that at any given point in history slightly over half the people are idiots that's a lot of gold to the smelter.

As some consolation idiots generally don't accumulate much in the way of wealth.

Not only did the gov't do all of the above, but here's another twist. The price of gold was $20.67/ounce in 1933. The price being set by the gov't in 1837 and remained unchanged until 1934. Once the gov't had all the gold they raised the price of gold in 1934 to $35/ounce, thereby nearly doubling the amount that was confiscated from the people. No free market at work here, more like totalitarianism to me. Wealthy people stashed gold in '33, lots of it, I have no doubt. Gary

Not really, Not when you look at all your options. You can invest in stocks which could have your investment anywhere from 100X increase to a complete loss. You can put it in a bank (the electronic version of your mattress) and watch as its value drops year after year because inflation continually robs the "value" from the dollar total. Or you can bury it in you closet, or the backyard and hope that fire or rot doesnt eat up all that fiat you squirreled away.

PMs wont burn and wont rot, wont go bankrupt, and over hundreds of years, it still has a roughly equal buying power.

I bought hers in 2017 when gold hit $1,258. I bought some every year since it dropped in 2011. My average today is $1,348 per ounce for my gold. That's still $142 an ounce profit. Just think if the people of Venezuela bought gold before the crash they could now live like millionaires.

 

[Jason in Enid]

I started buying when gold was $400 and silver was $4!
