Jimale Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Found in a rubble, I suspect the rock suffered a secondary breakage. Not heavy, smooth and glassy texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisski Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 If I had free time and the sample is the size of my thumb and not the size of my car, I'd crush it and then pan to see if any gold showed up. I've done this a few times to a dirty, red looking quartz in my area, and have come up with a couple of specs of gold. For my samples, I had found those loose in a creek. When I find the rock naturally occurring in the ground in bedrock, I've crushed dozens of those and it was good exercise but no gold.

chrisski Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Jimale, I've attached a picture of sample from my local area that seems similar to what you posted. I found this metal detecting and it set off both my metal detector and my pinpointer. Since it looked like a piece of possible gold ore local to my area, I crushed it and panned it, but found nothing. You ought to crush and pan your sample to see what you find.

chrisski Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 For the sandstone pic that's magnetic, does it move a compass or does a magnet stick to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
