Gold Lifetime

It was dug out of the side of a mountain. It started off as an offering to a God, as a representation of their image in gold.

It then became part of the sacking of the New World, an otherwise unremarkable Conquistador taking it back home to Spain. It thus became a family heirloom.

Many decades later, it became a bribe to shut up a maid who saw too much.

A while later it became lot #5676.

It then went back to being an heirloom.

Then it was the murder weapon.

So I had to bury it, completing the cycle.
