I'm sure it is there but there's a lot of luck involved in finding gold.
I found it only once and by the time I'd scooped one container, three other ships appeared and attacked so having just a basic Sidey I beat a hasty retreat.
Since then all I've found is single ships, a group of three (run away) or low value containers, bauxite/scrap etc.
I found time spent investigating all these areas was not as profitable as trading on a per hour basis. But the thrill of 'getting something for nothing' is a strong pull.
Is there anywhere else to sell stolen goods other than LP 98-132?
Tried to take some to Chango and paid a heavy price from the security services.
