You can take a gold coin, bury it, dig it back up in two thousand years and it’ll still be as shiny and unchanged as when you buried it.
Used to be, silver would be the same. It didn’t start tarnishing until the Industrial Age when we dumped a ton of sulfur into the air.
Other metals rust, corrode and break down. Gold and silver would not do that.
