If you're planning a trip to Alaska, you have a few choices to make especially if it's your first year.  It's best to have a destination in mind.  Many claim owners will let you do some "recreational" mining on their claims, but you will need their permission first.  You can also start out in some of the free mining areas and from their you can check out other possibilities.  Information on these areas including maps can be obtained from the BLM or DNR office in Fairbanks.

Then you take a look at the silver & gold charts and see it rocket up, and plummet down.  Of course, it always plummets just before you check it out and by then it's gone up again.  Murphy's Law...our life.

While most of us are aware of all the great uses for silver such as electronics, conductors, jewelry, and even clothing there is another use for silver that can actually cause alarming results if you aren't careful.

Homeopathy providers sometimes sell colloidal silver for a variety of health complaints, but drinking the stuff has a weird side effect:  It turns the skin blue.  No kidding!  Who wants to walk around as a human smurf?

Here's what happens:  Stomach acid strips silver atoms of one electron (electrons have a negative charge), making a positively charged silver ion, or salt. The silver ion then seeps into the bloodstream through channels normally only used by other salts. From the bloodstream, the salts wind up in the skin.
