[QUOTE="Deepseeker, post: 519630, member: 13321"] Yes, I have read a number of times now online where people have mentioned tree roots being found encased in gold, a bullet shell found in a creek in Tasmania that has become gold-plated, and even a coin found in a stream in Alaska that has become plated with gold as well. As yet though, no matter how hard I have searched I haven't found a single photo or paper in relation to such phenomenon. Surely, without any scientific evidence of such claims they simply remain mythical, B.S or "anecdotal"? I have read of research regarding gold found in leaves of trees, and that does make sense if it is being pumped up from the ground by the tree. Although surely that is a completely different mechanism to some type of naturally occurring electrolysis? [/QUOTE]
