When everyone discovered pure silver inside the remains of the dead giant Lizard, they froze.
Donald's reaction was the most direct. After a moment's surprise, he broke into a delighted grin. "Let's hurry up and kill the rest of the Lizards, then dig out all that silver! With a haul like this, the trip won't have been such a loss after all."
