Stainless steel = heavvvvyyyy!!! (Not to mention, still VERY EXPENSIVE.)

Here's a clip from my earlier post in this thread:

"Could a 1-ton dually 4X4 PU even carry 486 pounds and 12 onces - plus the crane - plus the backhoe - out there (unnoticed) so as to deal with setting that thing up vertically stable?"

There was a news story on tv about it recently that said it was made of stainless steel.

A boondocking power pedestal.

Assuming the above ground is 16" x 16" x 144" gives 36,864 cu-in

Each cu-in is 11.31 troy oz. so close to 417,000 oz.

Troy oz is about $950 so closer to $400 million

That is just the portion above ground....

Yes, I think you are right.

That thing is actually solid platinum.
It weighs 486 pounds 12 ounces.
So based on the above figures at todays market value of $939.29 an ounce, that thing is worth a cool $7,315,190.52.

Nice find!

486 pounds and 12 onces of solid platinum!!!??? For lack of a better reaction - that's not possible ... with platinum worth over $950 per ounce.

I suspect hardwood painted with silver paint as more likely what it's made of! ;)

P.S. Could a 1-ton dually 4X4 PU even carry 486 pounds and 12 onces - plus the crane - plus the backhoe - out there (unnoticed) so as to deal with setting that thing up vertically stable? I think not - but maybe another cup of coffee will help me think more clearly.

Have another coffee, that whole thing was a joke I made up on the fly!! HAHA!
:B:B:B

^^^^^^ The stash the millionaire hid many years ago was found earlier this year.

I read that it has been found on Google maps and it was placed late 2015 to 2016 by evidence of photo history and obvious shadows. Nice work to stay under the radar for 4 or 5 years.

August 2015



October 2016



I assume it will eventually be removed. I hope it is just relocated to the ranger station or similar.

Wonder how much C-4 it would take to dislodge that? :W

:):)
