I've got Maganit, adomasite and platinum, but I've never found any gold
I don't save them for sentimental value though, I just wait till I have found enough to put on auction, just as I do with any other ores.
i haven't found any gold yet as i'm mostly into enmatter mining.
however, i have one dianum stone in the storage - it was a class III find.
not that it was very precious (1.25 ped), simply i had no idea what to do with it.
1st.. 100th... whats the different.. when i got my first gold stone it was still around 1k%.. so i just waited for more to come so i can get an ingot and sell it..

lol no gold? pick a tk220+ finder.. go to shinooks LAs or neomavens allo LA.. or reis area mine.. and if u still say u havent found gold.. then u should contact support
Never found anything rare of the above that you people treasure there, as for my only ever 2 Gold claims, both IVs, I sold them to Lebanu as I had too little quantity to auction and the markup was not safe at the time. And I was right.
And now keeping first gold stone seams really pointless as I wouldnt describe it as rare now... First thing is really low markup and second the number of globals and hofs on gold - according to me resouce needs to have at least 300-400% markup and globals on it must hapen like 1 per month (or even less) to call it a rare resouce...
Yes I saved my first gold stone - as did many others.
For those saying it's 'pointless' etc. etc. because of markup - shutup.
It was at one point rare and sometimes it's the first 'rare'-ish ore you'll find, so it tends to be special.
I did keep my first and lots of them after that.. Rare stones that is.
But after a while when you got a few you realise its nothing really to keep, it had its run now time for sell
To elaborate. I must have been the fastest person ever to find any gold.
My first day in Entropia:
Logged in. Spent twenty minutes trying to figgure out how the hell you freed your mouse. I learned that by pressing I, for inventory, the mouse would switch and I could move it as I wanted to. When I finally realised that space was the right key - I was on my way. I guess I used the map, or perhaps I could simply see some buildings - but I was heading for Port Atlantis.
Outside, I could see the TP like 100m away, I looked at the chat and saw that someone was doing a treasure hunt. On my way into town I saw something gold. Stopped to examine and managed to pick it up; a gold stone.
(What do newbies do with TT food? They TT it, because people tell them to.)
For the record I TTed my second pice of gold as well, which I found whiline mining. Because it was still TT food.
I still have every scrap of gold I mined, which isn't much.
I was a longtime OA-105 user, and never got any gold with it, I'm using a tk120 now and finding gold, platinum, terudite that I never found before.
My first gold stone, dunkel particle and a few other rare loots are a part of my shrine to Lootius. I pray to Lootius in front of it before every hunt/mining run.
I'll never get rid of them. They bring me luck. They bring me luck. They bring me luck... (Maybe if I repeat it often enough it will come true.)
I sold my himi rock 2000% and...well my kanerium almost tt or something like that which I consider at that time rare...also i got some strange rock while looking for enmmaters one time...also sold... 14000%
