8 oz would be worth about 8500 today. I was working in the West Africa trade when gold went to 300 oz. boom in cargo from the US and Australia to Ghana. No telling how many pieces of Caterpillar equipment we carried for large Heap Leach mines. My guess is we made more money on freight than the miners did on gold considering the cut the Ghana government took off the top.

Rich, I have also used Zip Metals for lead shot when I couldn't find it locally. Very fast service and competitive pricing.
