Speaking of gold glandes for a second and I know this is a bit off subject, I wonder how many people have been killed by a gold glande since the invention of the sling. Considering there are places where gold shows up as decent size nuggets on the ground, is it possible that at some point a caveman reached down, picked up a gold nugget and killed someone with it? Can you imagine? What a way to go.
