I got the last bit out of a big book so you know its true.

I was once told by a lab geologist/assayer/chemist...not quite sure
of her title, but it's in there somehwere, that all gold has a
radioactive signature and therefore you can identify which mine
it was dug out of.
I was working at a remote minesite which had a small gold
output as well as the main concentrates of Copperand Uranium.
The chemist said that the gold from the mine had a Polonium
signature and therfore, no matter where in the world this gold
ever ended up, jewelry etc, you could find out the origin
of the gold due to this unique signature.
Does that sound like a tall story or is it true?
I think she just told me so I wouldn't pinch any
