Didn't some billionaire hide something worth a lot of money out there somewhere? Mabey they found it and don't realize it.

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! [emoticon]

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!

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....

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

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

Yep. Gone. It's now on Jupiter. (Probably one of Jupiter's moons? That is one of the mysteries surrounding that movie -- they went to Jupiter to re-find the monolith, but Jupiter has a gaseous atmosphere -- no place to land the spacecraft. So was it on a moon??)
