Time for AU and AG

A small silver cup or goblet is a good survival item. If water is left stood in the cup for over 30 mins, then the bacteria level drops drastically. I may have a link on this somewhere. I will look after the weekend when I got time. Also it can be cut up into "hack silver" for barter.

Scythe, I would just like to say (which I can elaborate on later - but no time now) -- Why do you think it is we find gold & silver coin hoards buried in the ground?? Even other metals for that matter??

Also in a barter / limited monetary exchange society which could be the case PSHTF, then precious metals are only worth their weight in gold(their true value) ie, we will not have the global financial market to peg the value at. That will be all gone!! All you will have in your hand is a commodity of exchange which is worth what ever someone is prepared to barter you for. What the heck will the present rate of money market exchange(at the PSHTF time) mean then?? Nothing is the answer. ...


Maybe you could bury it until the good times roll again or until the barbarian hoards have passed by or until that local Warlord stops taking an interest in that heavy pot you are carrying... Either way, someone else might be digging it up a thousand years later...
