gold sinks in quicksand

Special agent 007 comes face to face with one of the most notorious villains of all time, and now he must outwit and outgun the powerful tycoon to prevent him from cashing in on a devious scheme to raid Fort Knox -- and obliterate the world's economy.

Looking for gold

Han Wangxi, nearly 70 years old, has spent months digging a five- to six-meter-deep hole in the riverbank of Moba Gorge in Longnan, China, searching for gold. He carefully sifts sand from the rock and washes it repeatedly, hoping to find even tiny pieces of gold. On good days, he finds gold the size of a needle, but on bad days, he finds nothing. Despite his struggles, he remains convinced that gold lies beneath the clear water. However, he is worried about losing his home when a reservoir is built in the area.

For thousands of years, gold has been the most treasured and coveted of all metals. But extraction sites are dwindling and what little gold that remains is harder and harder to mine. However, there is a place where you can still find vast quantities of gold. Underwater archaeology has revealed that 3 million shipwrecks litter the ocean floor, 3,500 of which sunk with cargoes of ’precious metals’ onboard. Billions of dollars worth of gold, just sitting there, at the bottom of the sea. With today’s technology, this gold is in reach.
