Metal detector signal under this boulder — we had to know what it was...praying
(How to Find Gold | Prospector Nic) May 26, 2025: Deep in a remote Aussie creek, Down Under, we locked onto a massive signal under the biggest boulder we’ve ever worked. The metal detector absolutely screamed — and we had to know what was down there.
We spent four hours digging, shifting heavy rock, soaked in sweat and bush grit…and when we finally got to the target — it wasn’t what we expected.
But GOLD has a funny way of testing one's patience.
This hunt proves it: If you don’t quit, the gold eventually shows itself.

How many tons of gold did Europeans extract?
SUTRA: Gold Prospectors
Translated by Dhr. Seven based on Ven. Sujata translation (AN 3.101)
“Raw [unprocessed native] gold has coarse impurities: soil, sand, gravel. A prospector or an apprentice gold panner pours it into another pan, where they wash, rinse, and clean it.
When those coarse impurities have been eliminated, there are middling impurities in the raw gold: dirt and grit.
The prospector washes it again. When those have been eliminated, there are fine impurities in the raw gold: fine black grime. The prospector washes it again. When that has been eliminated, only golden flecks remain.
A goldsmith or apprentice places the raw gold in a crucible where they heat, melt, then smelt it. Still the raw gold is not settled as the dross is not totally gone. The gold is not pliable, workable, or radiant, but rather is brittle and not yet ready to be worked.
The goldsmith keeps on heating, melting, and smelting it until the raw gold becomes pliable, workable, and radiant, no longer brittle but ready to be worked.
Then the goldsmith can successfully create any kind of ornament, bet it a bracelet, earring, necklace, or a golden garland.
In the same way, a monastic (wandering ascetic) committed to higher mind has coarse impurities (corruptions): unskillful bodily, verbal, and mental conduct. A sincere, capable monastic [in training] gives these up, gets rid of, lets go of, and eliminates them.
When they have been let go of and eliminated, there are middling impurities: thoughts of sensuality, malice, and cruelty. A sincere and capable monastic gives these up, lets go of, gets rid of, and eliminates them.
When they have been given up and eliminated, there are fine impurities: thoughts of family, country, and status. A sincere and capable monastic lets go of, gives these up, gets rid of, and eliminates them. When they have been given up and eliminated, only thoughts about the Teaching (Dharma) are left.
That absorption (immersion) is not yet peaceful or sublime, not yet tranquil or unified, but is held in place by forceful suppression [of the mental defilements].
However, there comes a time when mind is stilled internally; it settles, unifies, and becomes absorbed (immersed) in samādhi. That absorption is peaceful and sublime, tranquil and unified, not held in place by forceful suppression.
A monastic (a skillful trainee) extends the mind to realize by insight each and every thing that can be realized by insight; they are capable of realizing those things because each and every one is within range. More

SUTRA: To the People of Venaga
(AN 3.63, Venāga Sutta) Translated by Bhikkhu Bodhi, edited by Dhr. Seven
...Then the Brahmin householders of Venāgapura approached the Blessed One [the Buddha].
Some paid homage and sat down respectfully to one side; some exchanged greetings with him and, when they had concluded their greetings and cordial talk, sat down to one side; some reverentially saluted him and sat down to one side; some pronounced their name and clan and sat down to one side; some kept silent and sat down to one side.
The Brahmin Vacchagotta of Venāgapura then said to the Blessed One:
“It is astounding and amazing, Master Gotama [the Buddha], how Master Gotama’s faculties are tranquil and the color of his skin is pure and bright. Just as a yellow jujube fruit in the autumn is pure and bright, so Master Gotama’s faculties are tranquil and the color of his skin is pure and bright.
“Just as a palm fruit that has just been removed from its stalk is pure and bright, so Master Gotama’s faculties are tranquil and the color of his skin is pure and bright.
What is more valuable, gold or self-mastery?
“Just as an ornament of finest gold, well prepared by a skilled goldsmith and very skillfully wrought in the furnace, placed on red brocade, shines and beams and radiates, so Master Gotama’s faculties are tranquil and the color of his skin is pure and bright.”
[How are his beds? They must be very nice.] “Whatever high and luxurious kinds of bedding there are — sofa, divan, long-haired coverlet, coverlet of diverse colors, white, woolen with floral designs, quilt of cotton wool, woolen coverlet ornamented with animal figures, woolen coverlet with double borders, woolen coverlet with a single border, silken sheet studded with gems, sheet made with silk threads and studded with gems, dancer’s rug, elephant rug, horse rug, chariot rug, rug of antelope hide, spread made of the hide of the kadali-deer, bed with a canopy above and red bolsters at both ends — Master Gotama surely gains them at will without trouble or difficulty.”
“Brahmin, those high and luxurious kinds of bedding are rarely obtained by those who have gone forth [into the left-home life of a wandering ascetic or shramana], and if they are obtained, they are impermissible.
“But, Brahmin, there are three kinds of high and luxurious beds that at present I gain at will, without trouble or difficulty. What are these three?
“They are the celestial high and luxurious bed, the divine high and luxurious bed, and the noble high and luxurious bed. These are the three kinds of high and luxurious beds that at present I gain at will, without trouble or difficulty.”

Scientist and author Michael Tellinger talks about his work on stone relics of South Africa, which he believes have a direct connection to the ancient gold mines of the Anunnaki, said to be an ancient race of ETs that visited and ruled planet earth.
The Anunnaki, the ones who came from above, and other civilizations conducted massive gold mining operations all over the planet, even the Grand Canyon. It was not created by natural erosion but by gold mining, Tellinger has concluded.
Their obsession with mining gold may have had to do with their survival or extending their lives, specifically making use of monatomic gold (powdered white gold) and its demonstrable property of disappearing -- moving into another dimension -- when heated to 800 degrees.
Regarding the mysterious ancient stone circles found in large numbers in South Africa, Tellinger says they are amplification devices for "Earth's natural sound frequencies that come out of the ground."
Human slaves of the "gods"
Evidence shows that the Anunnaki created stone circles 300,000 years ago, according to Tellinger, and used human slaves to place them in cymaticpatterns.
"When you put 10 million of these stone circles together, they generate an...unimaginable amount of energy" that can produce such things as scalar waves, levitation, electricity, and more, Tellinger claims.
He also touches on his work with the UBUNTU Movement and the One Small Town initiative, which emphasize a community-driven structure and abundance for all. AUDIO
Electricity has shaped the modern world. But how has it affected our health, environment, and climate? In the last 220 years, society has come to believe that electricity is safe and only a benefit for humanity and the planet.
Scientist Arthur Firstenberg disrupts this view by conveying the story of electricity in a way never presented before: Taking an environmental point of view, he details the harmful effects of this social building block on people and the planet. It has caused flu pandemics.
I can't give my phone! How would I take pix?
Firstenberg traces the history of electricity from early in the 18th century to now and makes a compelling case that many environmental problems and major diseases of industrialized societies ― cancer, autism, heart disease, diabetes ― are related to electrical (EMF) pollution [interacting with metals in the body from vaccines and chemtrail bombardment used by HAARP for geoengineering, weather modification, and spying].
The Health Threat of 5G: Arthur Firstenberg is an American scientist, health activist, journalist, expert on electromagnetic (EMF) radiation, founder of the Cellular Phone Task Force, author of Microwaving Our Planet: The Environmental Impact of the Wireless Revolution (1997).
Alex Jones talks with Megadeth front man (and former Metallica member) Dave Mustaine about conspiracies, Christianity, hypo[critical]christians, and what's really going on. Why did the CIA/LBJ assassinate U.S. Pres. JFK? He wanted to pull our currency out of the private Federal Reserve banking system, the "Moneychangers," and put the right to print money back in our government's hands. The powers that be weren't going to stand for that. They were already mad at him for threatening to end their very profitable War on Vietnam. Mustaine wanted to record with the Dead Kennedys when singer/genius Jello Biafra shot him down for recording with war profiteers/music publishers. Mustaine had no idea the warmongers were now in the music business. So much for any real "rebels" or "rebellion" coming out of commercial rock. Expect more pop candy and hedonism.
The Buddha's advice on money is found in the Sigalovada Sutra and says one should take one's money and split it into four equal parts: 1) spend and enjoy, 2) pay off debts (bills, loans, etc.), 3) restock inventory, 4) put away as savings.
Spend on wants.
Spend on business needs.*
Spend on producing more wealth.
Save for times of need.
*Inventory, paying employees, advertising, taxes, insurance, and so on.
To preserve money it's not enough to store fiat currency (faith money like greenbacks) in the mattress and coffee can. It takes an investment in something that is not affected by inflation and deflation. Gold never loses its value for long, and it not infrequently climbs in value to earn more money than it cost to buy it in the first place.
Do not accept paper notes that say someone else is holding the gold (metal). Get the metal. This may mean investment in coins, which are a ripoff because the minting eats up part of the value. Krugerrands are better. Progressive loudmouth Thom Hartmann says he prefers ITM Trading for stowing away his troy ounces of gold... Better than gold is merit (profitable wholesome karma) that ripens in the future.
Gold: Not Just for Right-Wingers!
(Mother Jones, May 2010) ...Thom Hartmann have both endorsed ITM Trading, an Arizona company that, like Goldline, pushes [overpriced] gold coins as “the best way..."
The historical Buddha's skin had a golden sheen when he emerged from meditation.
Spiritual and medicinal gold with incredible healing potential
Ormus, also known as ORMEs, m-state elements, white powder
gold, or the Philosopher's Stone, was discovered in 1975 by an Arizona
farmer named David Hudson.
He discovered some material in his soil that
he had never seen before. He laid it out to dry in the hot Arizona sun
so he could have it analyzed. What happened next was absolutely
remarkable: The stuff exploded in a big flash of light and disappeared!
But when he dried it without the use of sunlight it didn't disappear.
Hudson
was a very successful farmer and businessman, so he could afford to have
an expensive assay of the material done by a professor at New York's
Cornell University. The stuff turned out to contain gold, silver, iron,
and aluminum, among other things.
However, the gold and silver did not
dissolve in fluid, as is usually the case. The iron and aluminum also
did not dissolve in various acids and in their isolated form, they
formed a strange black matter.
One by one the elements were
isolated. Until the standard tests revealed that there should be nothing
left. But there was something left -- a lot of it, in fact. The scientist
told Hudson there was nothing, although after removal of the individual
elements a staggering 98% of the material was still left.
Hudson had
spent a lot of money on the various analyses and left the university completely
disappointed with academic science.
Dissatisfied but determined,
Hudson sought out a German expert who, together with him, was willing to
analyze the stuff further and build special machinery to do so. The
assays showed that it contained various precious elements such as
platinum and variants thereof such as rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, and
osmium.
The tests also showed that this material reacted
differently to various heat and cold treatments. The time period to
which they exposed the stuff to hot or cold temperatures also produced
different results.
The turning point was at 70 seconds heat treatment.
When Hudson stopped the process at 69 seconds the powder contained no
precious elements, yet at 70+ seconds it did.
Hudson then
went to a specialist at the University of Iowa. They conducted several
experiments and once again produced the most amazing results.
The
material expressions of the stuff magically changed depending on the
degree of warming or cooling they subjected it to. Among these forms
were a white powder and also glass.
Elements such as iron spontaneously
disappeared or morphed into other elements. The material also changed
weight, particularly when exposed to air.
Hudson was advised to
patent these elements to prevent others from using his findings to keep
him from experimenting further. In March of 1988 Hudson patented these
elements. He called them Orbitally Rearranged Monoatomic Elements
(ORMEs).
This substance has become known as Ormus and stands for what are 12 known elements, which exist both in a [fine] material and an immaterial[arupa] or purely energetic form.
Hudson
found this out by getting in touch with one of the American pioneers of
quantum physics, Hal Puthoff. Puthoff explained to him the strange
phenomena associated with Ormus.
Ormus elements are capable of losing
their material form (disappearing) under the influence of warmth and sunlight, making
them no longer subject to the laws of gravity and even capable of
dissolving into sunlight.
This is what Hudson had himself witnessed when he
first dried the material in the hot sun. The Ormus had literally become one
with the lightand
transferred to another dimension in which there is no space-time.
By
cooling it down, he learned to bring the stuff back to the exact place
where he had set it to dry, back to the material world of space-time in
which we live.
Ormus is a superconductor. These elements
resonate with the primal energy, the zero-point from which all life
originates and which is a quantum potential of possibilities.
I knew there was something in this thing.
Ormus is
one with this endless source of energy, which can be found in the air,
soil, plants, stones, and sea. Hudson even showed by dissecting
animal brains that they, too, contained Ormus. According to Hudson our
brains contain at least 5% Ormus.
This percentage can be raised
considerably if we take in food and water with a high Ormus content.
It
is exactly these foods that are so sadly lacking today. Hudson refers
to Ormus as "the light of life" and "the Spirit" [prana]. He claims it not only
makes us more spiritual but that it's capable of correcting DNA, too.
Now
think of the experiments the alchemists carried out in which they tried
to change metals into gold
and made a white powder out of gold, the long sought after Philosopher's Stone.
The Church persecuted, tortured,
and killed these people. What did they discover that we're not supposed to
know? The ancient Egyptians also knew.
Gold has always been the true
money and remains so to this day. But the true value of gold may
well be medicinal and spiritual instead of material or financial.
There
are, unfortunately, dark and powerful forces at work which are trying
to keep us from realizing our true potential, our true evolution to a
higher consciousness. CONTINUED IN PART II

COMMENTARY
Alchemists' "Rosetta stone" (which we have covered in the past) seems to be just this never-touched-the-ground rainwater dew-residue, evaporated mineral remains of monatomic elements (single atoms of powdered precious metals) with very strange superconducing, rejuvenating, and levitating/anti-gravitational properties. ORMUS can be consumed but is better assimilated if it is fed to plants first, which take them up and can then be utilized by the body consuming the plants. Bacteria in the ground help break down the metals to a form plants can use, but volcanoes send this ash into the sky, where rainwater may catch it for ancient alchemists to collect without knowing what it was.
For many metal fans, Extreme Metal is heavy metal. Death, Morbid Angel, Carcass, Entombed, Darkthrone, Dimmu Borgir, Opeth, guttural vocals, blast beats, lyrics about death and the occult...we couldn’t tell the story of metal without it.
And so Banger Films presents "Extreme Metal," the latest chapter in Metal Evolution, the biggest-ever TV series on the history of heavy metal and hard rock.
Hosted by Sam Dunn and based on Banger’s groundbreaking “Heavy Metal Family Tree,” this episode features new interviews with
Death Metal,
Grindcore, and
Black Metal’s most influential sonic architects.
It's a global journey from the US to the UK and Norway to France's HellFest to investigate the history, myths, and intricacies of this innovative and transgressive sub-genre.
We're "thrash" and "black" but not "extreme."
How extreme is it? Too extreme for most TV networks! That's why Banger Films turned to crowdfunding—for support from the metal community around the world through an IndieGogo campaign.
That's how we made Metal Evolution: Extreme Metal a reality. And it doesn’t stop there: Metal Evolution will soon continue online on Banger TV. What part of the Heavy Metal Family Tree should we explore next? How about Nu Metal? Done:
(Metal Evolution) Is "Nu Metal" even metal music? Maybe. No rules.
