It is not my primary retirement platform in any way.. it has always been something extra I've dabbled in..


ETA: I think the actor you are thinking of is William Devane..
Yes, Devane!

The 8.5 oz I inherited was in small bars, or really squares. They were in a strong box. I was shocked! none of my cousins bothered with it because most went to my grandparents' house before I did, and my Aunt Elaine was executor(executrix) of the estate and said take whatever you want, including furniture. My cousins were too busy fighting over the antique furniture and never bothered to look thru grandpa's stuff very closely. I also got a 1930's .38 special revolver. Thought I might need it to get out of the house with the gold, should the cousins find out what I had found...
