Nagano Prefecture, northwest of Tokyo, has "discovered a new source of mineral wealth-sewage," says a Reuters news report from Japan. Analysis revealed that the ash from incinerated sewage sludge processed at the Suwa treatment plant contained a percentage of gold much higher than the ore extracted from Japan's richest gold mines. The prefecture expects to receive 15 million yen, over $167,000, for the gold in just one fiscal year. It is thought that the high concentrations of gold in the sewage are "due to the large number of precision number of equipments manufacturers in the vicinity that use the yellow metal," says the report.
Hmmm...makes me wanna start creeping into the sewage over there?(Eeewwwyyyy!!!) LOL! Might find some gold hidden beneath huh? Well, this report proves true that treasures are indeed found in least expected place.
