Catchword for “flour gold”
Catchword: flour gold
Filed Under:
Part of Speechn.
Quotation: You can find nuggets. California is renowned for having larger pieces. But primarily what you’re going to find at first is fine gold, or flour gold as they call it. That’s all worth money too. Don’t throw it out, or be frustrated or disgusted by it if that’s all you find. You’d be shocked to find out how little it takes to make a full ounce of gold.

Keep in mind that we're interested in terms that are not well-covered in mainstream dictionaries, or not covered at all. A mass of unexamined Google hits counts for nothing, but an early use of the term you've found in a book or periodical is very useful. A term does not have to be new to be recorded here, it merely needs to be worthy of more attention.
