Gold is all over, even in your land, but in small amounts. Nature concentrates it. A lot of gold is probably deep in the bowels of the Earth, but only small amounts rise up to where we can mine it. I only got interested in precious metals recently, my nest egg is small since I retired early and built a house abroad. Back in the states, renting, and working. I am not trying to accumulate, I keep my nest egg at a certain value and will enjoy my earnings over that. I'm soon to be 65 and have no one I want to leave money to, my house abroad is for my wife... However, I don't want the meager amount to go poof!
Industry uses up silver, while gold mostly all around somewhere.
I have gold now, but have silver on the way, and since I rent, and may move back abroad, I like the portability of gold to conceal and carry.
As a kid I collected coins, but got away from it. I wish I'd stockpiled 90% silver coins.

For some reason I imagined reading this in the void of Ron Swanson
Yeah this is the biggest advantage for me with regards to gold.
