Tossup

While washing their faces in a public fountain, one character tells his companion that this stuff is “just crying for you.” A letter addressed to a man seeking this stuff notes that the fruit trees are in bloom and wishes for him to return in time for the harvest. A group of men agree to seek this stuff after one of them wins the lottery with the number (15[1])13. A conversation about tobacco and a trip to Durango precede the murder of the holder of this stuff by a man whose (*) hat is nicknamed for this (10[1])stuff. A man agrees to track down the widow of the dead Texan James Cody after discovering they have lost all of this stuff, which causes them to break down and laugh hysterically. This stuff is (10[1])scattered by wind after it is mistaken for sand by a group of bandits. For 10 points, a trio of men in a 1948 John Huston film find themselves tempted by greed when prospecting for what valuable metal? (10[1])■END■
