London Fat Bergs Vs. Switzerland Gold Nugs - What do you prefer on your menu?
Confirmed - 43kgs of gold passes through the Switzerland's sewerage system each year - worth about $1.8 million.
“At certain sites in Ticino, concentrations of gold in sewage sludge are sufficiently high for recovery to be potentially worthwhile. This can be attributed to the presence of several gold refineries in the region,” the EAWAG said in a statement.
Commentary: Time to bring your slush boxes to Switzerland for a nice all paid expense trip to Switzerland? All you have to do is stand at the receiving end of the countries sewage pipe with a good filter for about 12 hours a day. Then trade in your earnings to a local gold refinery (there are plenty) for cash and eat lobster at a 5 star restaurant and stay at the "Carlton Hotel St. Moritz."
Better than trying to re-fry Londons fat bergs for food - eh?

I would have thought the refineries would have a filter fitted over their wastewater discharge pipe. I bet after this story they will be doing so!
awe shucks, i was actually pondering the idea myself
Brilliant. And humorous.
leaves me wondering what they will find in sewers in the future
Sounds like a business opportunity waiting to happen. I wonder if any big cities do this already? (Try and filter out waste water for valuables)
Might not be worth the time or effort for all the other stuff that would be trapped in their.
I have a feeling if you got anything of value out of the water it would be confiscated by CH. Unless its a company like Nestle that sucks up free mountain water and then sells it for a profit. i can see their next factory in CH advertising water with "colloidal gold" in it and selling bottles for $20 each.
