Hello all.
I'm fairly new to Sleuth and I thought I might share a little hobby of mine with you all. Here's something for that sad moment when the mysteries of the day are all done.
Thousands lay up gold within this house,
but no man made it.
Spears past counting guard this house,
but no man wards it.
What is it?

Wow! Did I clear the room or what with that aviation lesson? OK. In order to get this thread moving again, here is the answer and no more lessons:
The helicopter was hovering only a few inches above a helicopter landing pad on an oil platform out at sea.

At the enormous risk of stepping out of character: lmao!

Let's get another riddle going, shall we? This one test your vocabulary skills.
There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

Maybe you guys and gals have heard this one, but I thought I'd post one to get the ball rolling again:
The more you of them you take, the more you leave behind. What are they?
