Oven,
Hoist by my own petard,it seems. What test is there for gold other than aqua regia? You're right about the scarcity of gold in the Klondike now. The area has been so thoroughly hosed down by big mining companies, you'd be lucky to find a single flake. How would you know I'm me? I know of no completely foolproof test that would satisfy everyone. Birth certificates and passports can be forged, even a copy of your last message could have been obtained by suspicious means. No, I couldn't convince you. Anyway, how would I know you're using real aqua regia to peel off my skin. It might be concentrated Bud Light.
