    Antique military medals and such were sometimes gold-filled, rather than simply plated. Gold filling is applying thin sheets of gold onto the base metal. I recall my grand-dad once saying that his medals from WWI were worth more than than their weight in $100 bills. He said there was gold in them.

The mining industry is dominated by men (getting not as bad now) and as a result, some few guys going through some bad times see cyanide as a quick/painless solution to their issues. I personally don't know of anyone who has taken this route though and I have been in mining for about 25 years. However it does happen.

    Don't ingest it, wear gloves and preferably safety goggles, and know the chemistry of what you're doing. As Cody mentioned, bleach makes it more or less harmless. Industrial gold processing uses cyanide solution extraction, but they recover the cyanide at the end and reuse it and it's done in a continuous process. It's cheap and as he demonstrated here, effective even with very low percentages of gold. It's not the fastest, but it is effective.

In fact, ashes in general are noncombustibles left over once the carbon has been completely burnt off, in this case, sodium carbonate/gold and other traces from the water supply.
