Gold Fever
The onset of fever is quick. The bug goes straight in and buries deep. It can hit like flu, transmitted through words and touch. “Have a look at this,” goldsmith Rob Heydelaar said, passing a thumb-sized vial half full of rattling yellow crumbs. Some were as thin as fingernail clippings, others plump like grains of rice but misshapen, like tears of solder splattered from the iron.
Do you think the idea of adventure, risk, and something new and unknown would be exciting as well?
Or would you be the person who made their money selling the gold pans, tents, and pickaxes back in town, sleeping in your own comfy bed every night?
I don't know which choice I would make............ you?
