Hey all,
I have a question about test panning for gold. I found a spot I kinda like in ParkCo, CO. I've sunk a few pans in and pulled out some dirt and did the whole shaking thing down to the blonds. For now, I'm not good enough to get past the blonds but that's not my question.
So I keep seeing anywhere between flakes to flour on the tailing edge of the dirt in my pan. I had to do a screen cap from a youtube vid to make my point. The red line I drew over the pic is where I'm seeing most of the colors at. There are some down in the corner but most seem to be hugging that trailing edge.
Is that a water tension thing. Or a pyrite thing. Or just a way the gold sits thing?
I can get a better pic of my point next time I'm down to the prospect.
Thanks,
Myk
