Found this thread while searching for Calaverite specimens, and horrified to find folks were planning on crushing or roasting it! As I tell everyone here is Georgia, if you can see gold in the quartz bigger than a speck its worth far more as a specimen than any gold your going to extract, and the same goes for Calaverite or Sylvanite (gold tellurides) 10x!! However I think they had pyrite, so maybe no crime was committed..lol
About me, lived in north Georgia for the past 35 + years, and got the gold bug when I was 11, and 50+ years later still afflicted. Bought my first detector, a Garret Freedom Ace in 1988 from Andy S., who taught me a lot about detecting relics and coins, and general detecting techniques. Several years later I bought my first gold detector , then a bunch more (gold detectors) as technologies improved.
