@dixiesilverminer I really like the Long Beach Show lots of dealers and Silver and Gold in one place. That picture of the gold bar is cool, but it looks like a Toothpick compared to The Lady of The Bunker Gold Bars.

it looks amazing looks like we will have to plan a family vacation next time..

The Long Beach show is huge. You will take more than one day to see everything . It is similar to FUN in Florida.

What is FUN in Florida? (lol that sounds wrong, everything is fun in Florida, but I assume FUN must be a show of some sort)
