For many decades, gold has been a very precious throughout the history of mankind; it has been bought and sold by many people. Gold is so old it dates back to the prehistoric ages.

I was born in California back in 1848. Gold there was very seldom, and only rich people could afford it, but when I was found in Sutter's Mill, I became very popular. I was mined with a pickaxe and brought to a pawnshop by a man who seemed to be very joyous and merry back then my color was golden yellow and was somewhat hard. There I was weighted and found out that I was fifteen ounces, and that I was worth a lot.

Years later, I was sold to a company who made jewelry. There, I was tested and carefully examined with machines. I had found out that my chemical composition was not only gold, but also a small portion of silver, copper and iron. I was made into a necklace and shipped to another place to be sold. I was finally sold to a fine costumer. He wore me as a decorative adornment. I was fine because I was traveling places instead of being behind a glass cage. The owner who owned me didn't take very good care of me. My luster was not reflecting as good and metallic at it used to be when I was born. Later I started to fracture Hackly. That was very irregular of me. My owner started to get old and did not use me as much. I was given to a place where they remade me into a very cool looking watch.
