Intermission - Treasure hunters

Many movies' story lines are based on treasure hunters. National Treasure, Sahara, Romancing the Stone, and Indiana Jones, just to mention a few. And the treasure always seems to be a super valuable one that maybe only a few people have even heard of. The heroes put themselves through all kinds of tricky maneuvers to get their hands on the treasures.

I'm glad that I don't have to risk life and limb to acquire gold, though. Truthfully, a phone call or internet click makes it easy to purchase gold from a reputable precious metals dealer.

And I don't need a "dead man's chest" to accommodate it, either. All I need is an address of either myself or a safe deposit box, and my own gold treasure can be shipped to me from professionals whose only focus is precious metals and good deals on them.
