[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 610345, member: 4386"] Metals in sewage sludge are a problem, as they can be toxic when the sludge is used as fertilizer. Sources of precious metals (gold, silver, platinum metals) in sludge would be from drugs, dental surgeries, foil on food, electronics and surface-coating material (eg gold is used to make some red glass). Gold is used in everyday products such as shampoos, detergents and clothes (nanoparticles used to reduce body odour). However it does not all pass through humans en route, but includes waste from mining, electroplating, electronics and jewelry manufacturing. Im guessing, but I imagine a lot entered sewers in storm water in mining days (where did the water go that they used to wash crushing and grinding machinery, mining skips, to rinse cyanide vats etc.) And those gold flakes in Goldwasser are pure gold, so you might say it is absolutely pissing gold.....
