Don't be overpicky about languague, even as a joke. You may loose out on it.
Luckilly you caught me on a good morning (it is a good morning - Good Morning
BTW) after a good picknick!

Let's put it this way, there is a brass placket from the American Mining
Society there... and this is not on either the North of South American
continent, it's the European continent! A handfull of atoms where first found
there and named after this little place. Rare earthmetals we know many, but
these are quite well integrated into modern life even if people don't know it.

(Still avoiding giving too much of a hint, but tossing Google to find things
out does give a good hint.)

Cheers,
