WHY DID SAILORS WEAR EARRINGS?
Sailors used to wear a gold earring in one ear so that if they died at sea and their bodies washed ashore, the earring would pay for a Christian burial. They also believed that having one ear pierced improved their eyesight.

What was probably the first metal mined by man?
Gold was among the first metals to be mined because it commonly occurred in its native form; not combined with other elements, and because it was beautiful and imperishable, and because exquisite objects could be made from it.
