Has to be more than what is showing.
When you bust it in half post up some more photo’s would you?

Hopefully he will scratch around and find the vein and excavate the easy ore.
Gold showing on both sides I hope it go's all the way through. I'll post more photos when he decides what to do with the specimen. First time out to this old prospect sun slipping behind the hill when he came up.

My son started breaking the quartz specimen up first with a single jack. Then the jaw crusher and chain mill some nice small quartz and gold specimens came out of the jaw crusher. They might get the acid bath too expose more gold he gave me a 1.90-gram piece and a good pinch of dust for the mercury ball. Pretty good for a pound of rock Happy Mining.
