Received the free 1/2 Goldback from Texas Precious Metals.

Thanks a lot!!!

I’m not sure what the market is with currency and if the things I see on eBay are just people thinking they struck gold.

My buddy’s father gifted him a couple stacks. Mostly 1971-74.

I assume these aren’t much of anything. I imagine with inflation these may be now $2.00 but just making sure I’m not missing anything.

Found in the sea at Porto Ercole, Italy. Looking for an ID of what it originally was.

Oblong, roughly 4cm long and under 2cm wide, very light, non-magnetic. The outside is smooth and feels like stone. There’s a black outer shell, then a white layer beneath it. The structure is layered and curved. Features I can make out:

- Rows of small rectangular “teeth” in dark and light green, arranged in a curve/circular pattern rather than in flat planes around unknown core.
- A layer of wires that run across the width (not lengthwise), sitting inside the curve of the green teeth. Color of wires and color of oxidation looks like copper.
- Two wire-ends fully encased in the light-green material.
- A layer of green over the copper that connects to and feels like the same light-green as the teeth
- On one end, a curved bank of parallel ribs where original material was.

Finally found one after a bit of a dry spell, I was beginning to think ya’ll had found them all lmao.

So I had some time off this 4th July weekend decided I wanted to run the Silver Cell. In the pass I really didn’t keep good notes on the whole process from making the electrolyte, to adding shot to the anode basket. So here’s what I have.

300g of silver.999 dissolved into electrolyte

550ml of distilled water

300ml of nitric acid

Total Hours to dissolve the silver 15hrs

Total yield of Silver Nitrate 750ml with about 100ml of loss fluids more than likely due to evaporation from the heat.

478g of silver shot to feed the Cell

Silver Cell Info:3QT =2.839 L

Voltage 3.50

Amps 2.54

Silver Cell Startup

7/4/26. 10:30pm

7/6/26 8:00am shut down left for work

7/6/26. 5:00pm start up

I do not remember why I paid $8.99 for this? Does anyone see something that I don’t? I purchased this when I FIRST got into stacking silver and for the life of me I can’t remember why I purchased this? Thank you!

Our end-of-day volume scanner flagged 65 Canadian names today (July 6). The two loudest ones tell a story about how junior mining actually works.

Spike number one: SPMC.V (South Pacific Metals),16x its median volume, third straight day, up 41% over the past month. Highest score on our board. But in early June the company itself announced it had engaged a marketing firm (i2i Marketing Group) with an initial US$300,000 online media budget, with 1.07M stock options granted at $0.54 the same week. The assets are genuinely interesting, and that’s exactly the point: a real story is what promoters can sell. High-grade hits next to K92’s mine, and a 4.2 Moz AuEq inferred porphyry bought from Harmony Gold for just US$1M.

Also: under a year of cash, and the project sits in PNG’s Hela province, where Porgera, one of the world’s great gold mines, had its licence suspended in 2020. A bought spike is a near-automatic pass for us, whatever the assets look like. We passed and logged it.

Spike number two: VAU.V (Viva Gold), 12.9x volume on July 6, but this one rode a real drill release: a new discovery on July 1 at Midway Hills, Nevada (38.1 m at 0.89 g/t gold including 6.1 m at 3.56 g/t), outside its existing resource. The existing resource: 504,000 oz gold, 86% of it Measured and Indicated. The 2025 PEA shows a post-tax NPV of US$610M at $4,000 gold (gold closed around $4,150 today). Market cap: roughly US$19M. The market pays about 3% of NPV.

Why so cheap? Because at $2,000 gold this same deposit showed a 2.9% IRR. It was economically dead, orphaned through the whole bear cycle, financed at 15 cents round after round. Gold doubled; the stock still trades at its old placement price. The repricing of gold has not reached the orphans yet.

The honest caveats,because there always are some: initial capex is US$242M, nine times the market cap, so major dilution or a partner/takeout is unavoidable. Fully diluted is 218M shares with a wall of warrants at $0.17 to $0.24. Management owns only about 2%. And the CEO’s previous company, Atna Resources, went through bankruptcy in 2015 (in a $1,100 gold market, but it is on the record).

Next dated catalysts: assays pending on 11 holes, and a pre-feasibility study due Q4 2026.

What’s your tell for separating a bought spike from an organic one?

Two volume spikes hit our scanner today. One had a US$300K paid marketing campaign behind it. The other hides a US$610M NPV on a US$19M market cap. Here’s how we told them apart.

We pass on the loud one and dig into the quiet one. We watch, we don’t chase.
