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?

the answer is 13 and both sides of the equation have 13 letters?

Very good : o ) Points for Sunny and Iggy. Both sides are perfect anagrams of each other and yes, there are thirteen letters which equals the answer.
