des éclats de pelle Explanation: "Gold is valuable because it is a scarce commodity. Even in a good gold producing area, you will often spend an entire day without finding any gold. Meanwhile you will dig bits and pieces of other metal-- birdshot, shells and bullets from hunting and target practice, bits of rusted barbed wire, chips off shovels and other mining tools, rusted tin cans, etc. “Hot rocks” -- rocks containing concentrations of iron oxides that sound like metal when you pass over them -- are also a nuisance in many places where gold is found.
