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?

example:a "wise" king devised a contest to see who would win the princess's hand in marriage.
the princess was put in a 50x50 foot carpeted
room.each of her four suitors were put in a corner of the room with a small box to stand on.
the first one to touch the princess's hand would be the winner and the new king.the rules of the contest were that contestants could not touch the carpet,cross the plane of the carpet,or hang
from anything;nor could they use anything but their body and their wits(i.e. no magic or telepathy,nor any items such as ladders blocks and tables e.t.c.).one suitor figured out a way
and married the princess and bacame the new king

how did he figure it out?

I have another riddle:

What rises to the highest hill, and can go down below? What precious thing can harm the snow? What is the lovely thing we want today, but long ago was for the poor? What is the thing that there will always be more...of?

Who makes it, has no need of it?
Who buys it, has no use for it?
Who uses it can neither see nor feel it?
What is it?

If you break me
I do not stop working,
If you touch me
I may be snared,
If you lose me
Nothing will matter.
