Gold was among the first metals to be mined because it commonly occurs in its native form -- that is, not combined with other elements -- because it is beautiful and imperishable, and because exquisite objects can be made from it." From the USGS publication - GOLD by Harold Kirkemo, William L. Newman, and Roger P. Ashley Coming in 2009!

DesertDrew.com will be providing gold samples from the Gold Basin Mining District and the King Tut Mining District for this study. Once our samples have been analyzed we will have the results posted on this site and each purchase of gold nuggets or fine gold in vials from DesertDrew.com will be accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity and a copy of the test results.
