Extracting Gold from Dirt: Gold Sluicing and History of Money

Описание: This year, I'm making money (and GOLD)! Specifically, I'm going through the history of money and recreating the various forms of currency as they evolved through history. In this video, I explore both the origin of money and learn how to extract my own precious metal from the earth.

Thank you to Alan Chenworth for his help, check out his book to learn more about gold panning in Utah: https://goo.gl/LPPrXF

Thank you to our talented interns Randi and Donna (http://donnalynnart.com) who helped with the animations once again!

|| ABOUT ||
Today, getting what you need is as easy as a trip to the store. From food to clothing, energy, medicine, and so much more, Andy George will discover what it takes to make everything from scratch. His mission is to understand the complex processes of manufacturing that is often taken for granted and do it all himself. Each week he’s traveling the world to bypass the modern supply chain in order to harvest raw materials straight from the source. Along the way, he’s answering the questions you never thought to ask.
