At Rocky Mountain House in very early 1800's and old indian arrived to trade. The old indian bought some gunpowder but no lead. When asked if he needed any lead he replied,"No, my own balls are better and heavier."
Showing them to the factor at the fort the factor was surprised that the musket balls were made of solid pure gold. The old indian claimed he knew where there was lots of gold up against the base of the mountains. The factor told the old man not to show his bullets to any whites.
