Crushing Ore Samples Today

[southfork]

I crushed and milled about 10 pounds of ore samples from a new spot. I micro sluiced the milled ore I will finish the cleanup tomorrow maybe 3 grams or more from ten pounds of rock rich ground I'm thinking. Red sands Black sands and GOLD.

Good one. There's some very fine stuff there.
All the best with the rest 👍

Was this just spotting with the eyes or did the metal detector help locate the rocks?
Great job and thanks for sharing.

Eyes located the old diggings metal detector found the treasure.

The rock and a little sand before crushing no gold showing but the detector was making a little noise. My son and his friend found some good Gold in this pocket this rock was sitting on the bench waiting its turn. I heated it for ten minutes in the furnace makes it a lot easier to breakup before going in the jaw crusher

The pocket type of deposit is always good to check out more as you never know.....lol.
I like the description of detector was making a little noise :-)

That is exceptional for only 10 pounds.

And just think.......................The old timers tossed rock like that aside because it wasn't worth their time.

 

[southfork]

And we thank them every day for leaving us some treasure close by

That’s an unusual ore for my area. Do you know how it’s described in miners terms? Looks chalky or like limestone.

"Do you know how it’s described in miners terms?"

In miner's terms, it depends on the density of the rock.

For example, when drilling hard igneous rock, we use the F word as a verb, noun, pronoun, and adjective..................All in the same sentence.

And when the rock is exceptionally difficult to drill, we talk about the rock's mother too.

This is the best.

@achanceforgold have you seen ore like this

Diorite and rotting granite with quartz stringers looked like red mud after crushing. I didn't rinse so not sure I wanted it dry

Not in the area I've been. Most of the areas I was in had a lot of quartz deposits. Charolette area.

Phil we must hunt in the same circles ! I've run into the same rocks (and other things ) as you described !!! Have a good day !

Interesting. Do you see exposed veins like that in that area? Was it in the tailings? I wonder if that was the ore OR did it just happen to also contain gold.

Perhaps the liquid mineral soup mix passed through that rock?
