When Mrs. Goldmatters announced ANOTHER trip to Target was neccesary, I once again had to play it cool.

Mrs. Goldmatters: “ I know going to Target isn’t the most fun thing to do, but we need to pick up a few things.”

Me: “ BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRIIIIINGGGGG!!!”

Mrs. Goldmatters: “ Don’t they have those weird gold bars you like?”

Me: “Oh? What gold bars? I have no idea what you mean.”

Mrs. Goldmatters: “Get in the car.”

Me: (immediate compliance).

After last weeks adventure, which you can read about here:

It was time to venture Target yet again! When I go to Target, the search for gold begins immediately:

After avoiding these creepy headless mannequins:

I continued the search.

Copper is often found in the same mineral deposit as gold, so I knew I was on the right track:

It seemed like I was getting closer:

Then I took a step backwards. Those familiar with the GLD understand that it is not actually backed by real gold:

As unlikely as it is, I literally heard this conversation between a mom and her son while at Target.... The kid stopped and pointed at this:

Kid: “Mom! Look! Solid gold!”

Mom: “ Ha! If it were real gold it wouldn’t be there.”

MOM WAS WRONG:

While focused on writing down the qoute from that conversation for this blog, in a stunning twist.....I LOST MRS. GOLDMATTERS!

She was nowhere to be found!

This was my chance! I made a break for it:

I knew just what I was after. I finally turned the corner to the correct aisle when....... HOSTILES! There were people already there staring at my gold! Panic started to set in:

I really worried they would buy up all the gold, but when I finally made it over all was well.

After:

I finally found Mrs.Goldmatters again, and distracted her with some juggling while I stuffed the gold bars in the cart:

We got out of Target and hustled home, my loot ready for part II where I will mine this (hopefully) gold!

Stay tuned!

Who in the #steemsilvergold will actually find some gold, for $5 USD fiat, minus packaging and gold colored wrap, I think the Chinese are the big winners.

Ah yes i like it

You have done so many experiments with target's gold bars you should get a discount. They will increase there stock holding at that store lol.

Good point, let write them a letter!

I can just see them doing stock take and saying how many gold bars were sold last month? Your local store must have the highest rate of sales lol.

Very weird seeing a headless mannequin. After all I guess it was not all boring. You got for yourself solid gold

Yes!! It turned out to be a fun adventure

A lot of treasure in our world still now we could not find them. I am so interested for treasure hunting.

Thanks me too
