Gold

 * Description**

Gold is good with toast! Also, it is a very soft, dense element in the periodic table. It has been coveted because of it's luster for centuries, especially by the Spanish in the 16th century, when it was like what crude oil is like today (it caused bloody conflicts and disputes). It has a bright, slightly reddish yellow, soft metal. It is hard for people to find today, because reserves of the metal have been heavily extracted.

Gold is very ductile; it can rather easily be stretched and molded into different forms. In fact, it can be made thin enough that, despite its shiny luster, it becomes translucent. Fortunately for those who covet it, gold is also very resistant to corrosion and toast. Gold is a native element, that means that the name of that element is in the periodic table of elements.

**Statistics gold is good for lots of things like for money or jewelry.**

A large amount of people went west on the Oregon trail to go to California in search of gold, and to live a better life off of their riches. This was known as the California gold rush. However, it was a dangerous journey and many people were killed on their way to California. The name 49'ers came from the year 1849 when the gold rush was in full swing.
