Banner vote #2 from me. Your on to something incredible there. Don’t give up if the finds slow down. You have a pocket mine there. Any chance getting a better picture so we can zoom in and see the gold?
Is your son getting a little more comfortable with your process? If it were me, I’d consider slabbing pieces large enough to slice rather than bust up or even acid clean. Doesn’t take much gold content to make a nice piece.
very interesting texture on those. Ive lost gold on the crystalline pieces from too much wink. part of the problem was I was blasting it with the garden hose because it made it shine really well, that was because I was eroding the gold away. But it tends to loosen up the layers of gold and I did not like that.
I let them soak overnight then a toothbrush to clean the dissolved rock with water in a gold pan catching a lot of micro gold. We try and save it all too hard to find and too valuable to lose.
Have you tried locating the pocket? There could be a pay pocket beyond your wildest dreams under your nose.
Could be but you need to rappel into the unknown.
Hmm, I’m up for that!!
There's several Adit's close by that go in at an angle. my son and friends piled brush in front of the opening to see if animal life is going in or out before they venture inn. Don't want to come face to face with a Bear or Mountain Lion while crawling through a tight passage.
Take some flour or pancake mix and spread some inside the adit where the weather won't get to it. Less work than brush and you'll be able to identify any animal by tracks left, if any.....
Were not trying to invite visitors lol.
These specimens are so thin running a rock saw though then would take away the natural beauty. I like dissolving the rock to expose the gold.
