Searching for gold part ...?

After seeing many Steemians embark on their journey in search of gold (and @goldmatters daily), I have no idea what number this is!

But here I was, in the aisles of Target WITHOUT Ms. Goldfashioned. How dangerous:

No one around, I walked to the gold mining area. I was't surprised at this sight:

ONLY 1 LEFT?!?! There's a pullback in gold so this makes perfect sense. I snatched it up:

There were TONS of diamonds:

But thanks to this handy image from Mene, we know why:

I turned the corner in hopes of finding more gold, but to my dismay GOLD PANNING KITS WERE SOLD OUT TOO:

I rushed home to start mining, as everyone who bought gold at Target was definitely blogging about it (hey look @goldmatters was here)

I plopped it on the table and out spilled my utensils:

I tried using the rock solid hammer they provided:

NO LUCK. I decided to kick it up a notch:

NOT EVEN A SCRATCH:

These things are indestructible. I had to resort to a method I knew would definitely work- the special water technique:

Well it's not really special. I just rinsed it under water for 10 seconds and squished it with my hand:

GOLD GOLD GOLD:

Darn. But hey, I got some nice looking obsidian!

At least Ms. Goldfashioned was striking it big, sending me this lovely pic of her Mene platinum heart knot ring on the way to work :)

Maybe I should have just bought through Goldmoney and Mene... but this was definitely worth the fun!!

Thanks for reading!
