What are the red gems in the pan? Ruby or nice garnets?

 

[Aufisher]

Thought garnets but sure are ruby red!

 

[ALewis]

Yep !!! I Cannot wait to go back !!!!

 

[Duckwalk]

Thought garnets but sure are ruby red!

Did you save them while you were panning or did they sink with the gold?

I dont want to give out the wrong information here so please someone correct me if i am wrong.

Rubies are essentially red sapphires. they are identical in all aspects except for color. i know that real sapphires have tiny (not seen with the naked eye) inclusions of black in them. They look like black dots because the stone is not 100% pure. Unlike lab generated sapphire which are perfect, the small black pieces indicate a REAL sapphire. I can only assume since sapphires and rubies are identical that rubies also have these small black pieces. Check one our under a microscope, could maybe tell you whether its a garnet or not? im not sure what garnets look like under 100x lens...

Garnets that creek has a bunch of them. chance to find diamonds as well the Garnet is heavy and stays with the black sand......those copper wire fragments down there......first time at that spot I got several grams of it....encouraging that the sluices hold it so well. Good job guys sorry I couldn't make it this time you B@$turds

Thanks AU and Mojo, had an excellent day digging with you gentlemen! Was great to share my exiting best day so far with you fellas. Nice job making quick work of that big hole to china and good lookin take you guys had! Big one maybe in next shovel or spoon full... Always looking forward to the next time!..

GW, my fault for droppin the ball on the original plans, sorry about that man.. Will do my best to set up something good with you asap...

 

[Goldwasher]

Its all good Hangtown I was just ribbing you guys...I was getting sick last Monday we were out and it stuck with me all week. The wife ended up going in for some overtime which she normally has to turn down on weekends and then we got to hang out the rest of the afternoon..which is something I don't get to do on weekends normally either and resting some which I really needed. I'll get out there with you guys again as soon as I can.

 

[Hangtowndiggins]

Oh I know your just messin GW.. But still my bad for sure Yeah you didn't sound too hot when digging with ya last Monday, that's a bummer it stuck with you for the week. Glad to hear you had some down time for yourself with the fam over the weekend as that's worth more than any amount of gold. Keep on truckin bro, many days of heavy yellow in your way...
