More Float

I was burning brush and tossed a chuck of Quartz into the fire to see what changes occur. After it cooled overnight, I broke a piece off to carry in my pocket until I could find my loupe. I found it but I think I need a micron microscope I used macro on my phone. What do you see? I see a little pyrite on the edge but the little round specks in the face look like gold to me I need to crush for a test the hunt is on. The heat of the fire may have released a little gold from the oxidized zones.

I'm to old to see that small !

I tossed the small piece into my jaw crusher and gave the chunks a quick wash one speck and some dust but its gold. I need to run through the chain mill but raining now.

There are quartz veins all over our property and while grading trenching and brushing we have exposed a lot of small pieces. And from early mining they left us a heap of tailings. That piece was laying on top of the ground behind my barn where I was burning brush.

Sounds like a good idea to find gold !I'll have to burn some brush to see if I can find stuff like that !

The rock specimen weighed 1 - 1/2 pounds total. All went through the jaw crusher and chain mill then panned with a little jet dry. We Have Gold from specks to dust with white sands and a little black sand. The sun was out, and I just had to know just a small bit of color all the way from the edge of the pan to the white sands, but this part of the hill wasn't mined.

Do you have pics of your jaw and chain mill? My chain mill is tiny homemade one that runs off my cordless angle grinder. Been considering a jaw build
