Thar's gold in them thar poops!

[quote=http://www.news.com.au/technology/envir ... 7190419564]It is the most unlikely of places to strike a fortune but scientists say they have found gold in sewage. Yes, gold. In sewage.

Scientists at Arizona State University say there could be as much as $13 million worth of metals in the sludge produced by a city of one million people each year, including $2.6 million in gold and silver.

Science Mag reported metals have long been known to exist in sewage but what the good folks at ASU have done is quantify its value.[/quote]

Tyson lannister approves

But seriously that's $13/person per year.  Is this mostly from rings dropped down the drain? 

There was a news report a few years ago about a guy that "mined" the dirt in the Jewelry district in New York (I think).  He would sweep up dust and dirt from crevices in the sidewalk where, apparently, gold dust would drop from the clothing of gold fabricators.  He took the sweepings home and panned the gold.  He also found small gemstones and who knows what else.

I do not know if one needs to file a claim...
